Hey guys it's the OP. I received a PM asking me to look into this guy. I think he's back with a new alias, Shadowshawn. Mods can you run an IP check on both usernames? If he is in fact stealing other peoples pictures and claiming them as his own I would think you would want to stop this. I think the major concern from people in this thread, was that he may be trying to establish a good reputation only to defraud people later.

future2010camaroowner also did some homework on Shadowshawn.

The city is identical: Rowland Heights, California.

The story is similar where the father purchased/helped paid for a SS Camaro for a ~16 year old teenager.

The signature has the same style. Yours is a Summit White one with the name Michelle on it whereas the other "has" a Rally Yellow named Chelsea.

You can feel free to prove me wrong.

and of course I did some, too.

Posts have postwhore tendencies. By that I mean, although he is typing and saying something, he really isn't saying anything. He seems to be posting for the sake of posting, and not really contributing.

The vehicle description has an identical format in both usernames.
example:

Model Year: Color Code : Trim Type: Engine
AMPM1678- 2010 RY 2SS/RS LS3
Shadowshawn- 2010 SW 2SS/RS LS3

Expanding on the city name. Both users list their location as:

Rowland Heights,California

What jumps out to me is the format. More in particular is the lack of space between the city and state. He has also chosen to spell out California rather than use the abbreviation CA. One user doing this isn't odd at all, but I find it extremely odd, that two users in the same city, who are also the same age, who drive the same car, and who are on the same forum, choose to list their locations exactly the same.

Now on to his introduction thread.

I just realized, that both users named their Camaros after their girlfriends. Also, I am familiar with the city of Rowland Heights, CA as I have a friend who lives in nearby Diamond Bar. The architecture of the houses and landscape in the pictures looks nothing like the Rowland Heights that I am familiar with.

Noturday · 11-05-2010, 02:21 AM

wow, some people just REALLY want to "prove" themselves don't they. i think the only thing he's not lying about is his age, either that or he's new to the internet forum thing. or both.

not the first time i've seen someone do something like this. the last guy was on a micro r/c car site, lying about his collection....they only cost $50 new. at least lying about a $35K car makes more sense than a $50 toy or 2
