Met a guy in Vero beach at a car show and he asked me are you " ONE BMF" on the forum and saisd i was. He thanked me for the front license plate mod as he was doing it to several of his costumers cars and making good money. I asked him " wheres my royalties dude" ? I used to live in Calif. in the 70's then my parents moved us to Fl. back in 73, i was just a kid, i wished we had stayed in Calif. Florida sucked then and still does. i have a 23 yr old daughter in college here and mom is almost 80, she has 5 acres here. I built mom and dads house here in Palm City Fl. in 1984 and 10 yrs later dad had a heart attack and dies at 58 yrs of age.WTF right !!! So with a daughter and elderly mom, i'm kind of trapped here. Dude i'd be living in the cool mountain air if it weren't for my inability to put myself first. I'm just glad your not dead man, my brothers car rolled 7 times. The heartache that your wife and kids would have lived with is unimaginable. Damn happy your alive Matt. Mark

Right back at you Mark - Thank you for the words, hopefully we will meet up sometime soon - usually when I meet other Vette owners at shows or otherwise I ask if they are on the Corvette Forum and a lot of the time they are and I let them know my handle "madmatt9471" and they let me know theirs and it is like 'DANG' - I have done a few things to the new '09 Vette I picked up, with my son-in-laws help, and soon I will get it dyno'd by Ryne @ Cunningham Motorsports - the crash was bad and I am happy to be alive.
I am so sorry for your loss death is an enemy no matter what age or how it happens it leaves a damage path in its wake for a long long time! I wish I could do something more for you. No matter what I am here and anyone can call me if they so desire 661-406-7516
Thanks,Matt

Yes, I was shocked when I saw what a new one would cost and the cheapest I found a used one for was $34.99, one vendor actually wanted $49.00 for a used one and all I needed was the flag, so I really do appreciate it. I sent you a picture Text yesterday, didn't know if you were able to receive it or not, so I posted the pic on the forum. Thank you. Todd Pentino

Wow, Thank you very much, I would be more then happy to compensate something. I appreciate it.
