This might be a dumb question... but Ive been wondering for sometime.

The charecter he used as his avatar and we all use in memorium of him... where did it come from? Did he design the original one or did it come from something else?

I think Kevin(Dedpedal) has the origin of this in his car now.

Yes, it is on his boost guage. Or one of his guages. That is called a dirty bird. I used it in the signs for the farm party. Everyone liked them.

I bought Vinnys old boost gauge and it had a dirtybird sticker in the middle of it. He told me that Amanda put it there so part of the sale terms were that I wouldnt remove it. Its still there and will be as long as I have the car.

I have the little "dirty bird" hanging from my rear view mirror in my Charger (SMALL cushiony stuffed animal with a clip hanging from it for the mirror), Vinny always had it hanging in the da coupe's rear view mirror. Somebody asked me where I got it from not long ago, and I had no idea! Tim Hixson was there at the time, and he said Vinny picked it up in the mall one day, probably while browsing around with Amanda.

He also has a couple GIANT stickers of the dirty bird, he bought them on Ebay. :lol: He bought quite a few of his dirty bird items from Ebay!

Just got off the phone with the boy, they had a rough night last night with storms, just limbs down, but high winds and cracker box don't mix well.

Seems my son and Vinny had a discussion about music/band stuff and my son was leaning towards the bass, Vinny gave him some ideas. When he went to pic out a bass, he saw the penguin (my son is also into anime) and had to have it.

Vinny helped (or was it corrupted? LOL) another person, my son, and I never knew about it. Just goes to show how much one person can influenece others in small ways.

His good buddy Brian, that he met when he first moved to Cincinnati. You have met him before, he was in a band with Auston, Jeff, and Vinny. I took a picture of it, I'll post it up when my computer is up and running.
