Actually I'll answer this again like I always did...however you never liked the answer. The bulbs don't need to be DOT approved because the housings are what's important and THEY ARE DOT approved. The answer you were looking for was no so you could tell everyone I was suggesting a product that was illegal. However, they aren't inspected because they don't need to be. The housings do however have to meet DOT approval, and my housings certainly were legal...you just didn't like that you couldn't make the lights out to be as bad as you wanted them to be because you hated seeing others intrigued by them. I guess they were too dangerous for you and you thought they would get someone killed. Too bright for you? Like that's a bad thing?

How long have I been a member at CF Dep? Don't you think that if my information and interaction with those people was so horrible and dangerous that someone would have been injured or killed by now? Maybe upset or pissed? I don't see any of that even after several years of forum interaction. What I see is a group of people happy with their cars and the advice that's been given to them, no matter who...since you claim all the good people left. The only people I see unhappy and griping are the ones like you that 'claim' are the 'good' members that I 'drove' away, yet you keep following me around like a lost puppy intent on chewing on a pant leg.

Jesus guys, get over me, get over it, and actually move on.

Enjoyable as in tragic tales of parting lovers (Curtis moves to katy), off topic picture threads in c3 general and who could forget your “this forum has heart” thread…and you call us homos.

Take alook at your tail light lenses DB. Mine have DOT marked plainly on them. And the bulbs inside of them also meet DOT standards. Spyder Lights DON'T. It's that simple. They may be "cool" in your opinion, but they are still illegal. They have to meet both federal and state laws and they DON'T. They are just as illegal as blue dot tail light lenses.

As to people not being pissed at you. I seem to remember more than one thread that was posted complaining about things you sold folks. Of course, they were either sanitized or deleted completely because "somebody" cried to the mods. Other posts you made had to be corrected by forum members who actually KNEW what they were talking about, rather than just replying to up their post counts. And then your minions stepped in right away to defend your ignorance. I have seen you post BS that everyone KNEW was wrong and then when you were corrected you had to scramble for a weak explaination. Face it DB...you are NOT an expert on everything Corvette, and posting in every single question whether you have idea about the correct answer or not is not helping anyone. Although it does cause a good deal of laughter at you behind your back. If you would just STFU for a week or two and let CF exist without all your idiotic input, that place would improve 100%.

I don't have to face anything, especially because you say so. Find me one quote from me saying I was an expert on everything Corvette. I have never claimed to be an expert and you won't find anything of that sort. I have no minions, or followers, or cronies...I don't have a cult. What I have is a bunch of idiots following me around with BS signs and you're the only people complaining and causing a riot.

You're wrong about people I have sold to. Everyone that has ever bought something from me has gotten their item and I don't recall a single complaint...with the exception of a single unfinished deal that's being refunded right now.

I see lots of finger pointing and behavior unfitting of an adult Dep. Grow up please.

Gee...looks like they re-routed that Egyptian river to flow through Missouri...you know...DE NIAL

Find you one quote...that's pretty hard to do. Since you have 23,781 posts in TWO YEARS. Figure on at least 3/4 of those posts being replies, and of those replies, at least half of them are incorrect answers to questions. Face it DB...if they dropped your post count to zero and took away all those pretty stars, you'd cry like a baby and leave that forum in a heartbeat.

Lock It

If you do, he'll just start up another thread crying about his mistreatment. Might as well leave it and enjoy ;)

You care more about people's post counts than I do...I could care less about how many posts I have or the stars...again, find somewhere where is said I was looking for more of either.

Ask your FREIND Big2bird about his 43 posts in one day and then look in the mirror for a post counting hypocrite. Who frig'n cares?

It's about time someone got voted off the island.....

Okay....let's put you to the test. I also have a mod at CF that's a good friend of mine. I think I can persuade him to reduce your post count to zero and remove all the stars. All you have to say is yes. :D

Dont worry i dont have those powers, and i forgot this was the drunken brawl cafe so play on.

I've seen some quotes of some of the things you have said about your CF mod friend on 'other' forums, and so has he. WHOOPS. Besides, I have no intentions of changing anything for you just because you think it'll prove something...because it won't. You'll continue to harass me for every other reason you can come up with. That's all it is to you, just a reason to criticize me which is why you don't seem to care about anyone else's post count. Hypocrite.

Sounds like you do have the mods in your pocket....all of them

Assume what you like but I don't have anyone in my pocket, let alone some hard working volunteer moderators who have nothing to gain by favoring someone like me over a riot mob like you guys except peace and quiet.

This section is exactly for this kind of interaction; so people can say exactly what they think without being censured, as long as it complies with the rules of this section. We are working on the logic to prevent posts to threads in this section from appearing on the main page so no one accidentally stumbles in here. If that's what happened to you. Our apologies.

So you refuse to lose the stars and post count. Gee...why are we NOT surprised? The fact is the stars and post count are something you use to flaunt your alleged expertise and authority with the newbs. But the old timers know that those stars can be gotten by repeated posts of smileys in the OT section. We've seen it done before with Oliver. We also have very little respect for him. Instead, you get the stars and post count by posting dumbass pics of girls at car washes and bad advice for working on cars. I think your motto is "I haven't found a thread I can't post in, no matter how useless the post is."

Not really, I just think you're an idiot and I have no plans to do anything you suggest. You'll very rarely find a post of mine that's just a smiley, unlike quite a few of your own ilk that commonly post just smilies...so again, you're being hypocritical when your own friends are guilty of the same things you accuse me of.

More to the point, I don't flaunt anything...I dare you to find it, and I cite no alleged expertise or authority and I certainly don't show new members anything but respect and kindness...something I think waved bye bye to you long ago.

My only motto is that "No question is a stupid question except the question never asked."...AND, I don't post in every thread. In fact, I'm in only a few threads on the first page of only two sections.

Stop blowing things out of proportion in an attempt to belittle someone else. It shows everyone else here who you truly are.

Nice try DB. But you can't rewrite history. We have all seen you posting crap about Dodge truck carburetors and all kinds of OT junk in the Corvette forum. Then you run around accusing people of not obeying the rules. You are one major hypocrite.

And stop trying to steer me off topic. Either the stars and post count mean something to you or they don't. If they don't, I can easily arrange for them to be deleted. Hell, I'll delete mine while we're at it. If they do, well....that just confirms what we already know and what has been stated by me in this thread.

Some of my favorite d_b moments has to be alternator clocking,you said keep taking them back till you get the right one :laugh:
And what to do if the harmonic balancer does not line up. you told some guy just to push it on far enough for the belt to line up.

now tell us how you were just misunderstood and how we blew it out of proportion.

I could have sworn it was "Have the experts at O' Rileys do it for you.":rolling:

Works fine till you torque. the Balancer bolt. (He won't remember these minor details):sm_laughing:

You know Jeff i think he said that too. he has given so much CRAP information that it is hard to keep them all straight :rolling:

Oh here is another memorable moment.
I found on another forum where he was posting pics of Curtis's car and telling the forum members that it was his.
Well i put a link to that forum on CF,how long do you think it was there before d_b cried to the mods and had it sanitized.
And in true d_b form he said it was taken out of contrast and that's not what he meant. He says that a lot (that's not what i meant)

He will say he was misunderstood and that's not what he meant :sm_up_there:

Sadly, I can't recall my favorite quote. Something like "It's fine, but could be rebuilt, but probably should be replaced." A fine non-answer that covered all basis of a non answer that meant ZERO.:smack:

He doesn't cry to the mods. His cronies do it for him, so he can say it with a straight face.
Curtis? The boat engine?

Do you think he knows the difference between a flywheel and a flexplate yet.:huh:

Yeah thats the car.
Marine cam :laugh:

I forgot that one. With 20,000 posts, this could take years.:smack:

Well unfortunately for d_b I have a very good memory :thumbs_up:

I like his new posting on Craigs List.
Vortec heads. Quote I have not had them Magnafluxed,but upon my inspection i have found no cracks :confused:
Yea right,some poor sucker out there is going to buy a junk set of heads.

Professional engine builder :rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling::roll ing:

Help me out guys...wasn't there a post about dual-alternators? :confused:

My engine builder DROPPED the heads.:rolleyes:

Translation...I gotta find some cheapo heads to sell this guy because the one's I had I sold to someone else.

"I have not had them Magnafluxed,but upon my inspection, I have found no cracks"... inspected with Magnuflux eyeballs. :nuts:

That just means there are 2 heads instead of 3.

Yep:
Dual alternators,Dual batteries,and the now infamous, Dual windshield washer pumps. A MUST for performance safety.:rolling::rolling:

And so does my hard drive.
You guys have represented VetteMod very well and I'm sure BB and TT are very happy with the results of the recent voting.Seems VetteMod went from a rating of 10 yesterday to around 9 today.I'm sure both BB and TT feel their investment is safe with friends like you guys.Nice Job,you've been banned at CF and DC and it probably won't be long and BB and TT will also feel they can no longer afford your friendship.
Now on to something a little more serious.
The recently passed Megan's law has given us in my line of work some new muscle and we are beginning to learn how to use it.I was alerted to the DD club a couple years ago by CF administrators and have been watching and copying posts at CF,DC,VM and even smaller sites ever since.Below is a short paragraph and a list of what I need before I can act.We only need 1 but 3 and above is usually a slam dunk.

When identifying cyberstalking "in the field" , particularly when considering whether to report it to any kind of legal authority, the following features or combinations of features can be considered to characterize a true stalking situation:
• Malice
• Premeditation
• Repetition
• Distress
• Obsession
• Vendetta
• No Legitimate Purpose
• Personally Directed
• Disregarded Warnings to Stop
• Harassment
• Threats

Durango Boy: Thank you, very nicely done you have made my job much easier.Peace is on the horizon,be patient.

I find the above post very interesting. Mostly because reading it, it almost sounds like it's coming form someone in law enforcement. that's where I lose the train of thought. I've know (and still know) quite a few prople that are currently in that field. And over the last 30 years or so, I have yet to see one "tip his hand" so to speak, about any type of on-going investigation. Yet this person jumps up and not only points out that he was "alerted" some 2 years ago, but also pointedly lists WHAT and WHERE he's gathering his "evidence". Interesting.:confused:

Cyberstalking is limited to direct threats via e-mail. Message boards are exempt.
No one has threatened anyone here.;)

If any "Authorities" need alerting, it might be the Local, State and Federal taxing juristictions concerning DB's ongoing business. I doubt any sales tax has been collected, as well as Federal income tax paid on internet sales. Once the can of worms is opened, fuhgeddabodit!

I know for a fact that the state I live in is pretty hard to deal with about sales tax. If you're a little bit late paying they start calling and writing letters. I can't imagine what they'd do if they found out someone should have been paying and was not. I'd be willing to bet someone would be knocking on your door.

Umm...okaaaay.

Oh guys, I have no idea where you got that flywheel / flexplate thing but that wasn't me. I can very easily tell where you get the rest of your material, and whatever floats your boat, but I never had a problem telling one from the other. I think you mistook that from something someone else had an issue with.
