Tran is not a man, he's an idea. Why do we debate him?

Because he's the hero that Camaro5 deserves, but not the one it needs right now... and so we'll hunt him... because he can take it... because he's not a hero... he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a Dark Knight...of C5...

Mark LS2 don't get no love?

Tran is a nice guy, but he knows he needs to be "The Wizard" behind the curtain. But that don't stop him from having some fun... I hear one time he made up a screen name, then used it to pick a fight with himself, then banned it....

98.2% of this site is a joke. Thankfully the last 1.8% is redeeming, from time to time.

I can't even see the V6 forums anymore, they removed my access... lol
Don't let the door hit you on the ass.

If dollars paid <= dollars made, then it's a profitable business decision.
Paid Sponsors started well after there WERE cars to mod. And there were sponsors on the site back then. Who would have paid. Obviously Tran had a plan. Implemented it perfectly. Created a demand and almost had vendors knocking down his door to get on. And obviously it's a financial interest for him. I don't even think it's a stretch to realize he's not really into the car like we are.

BUT,,,,, I can say this... He really likes this community. It's just different than any other site. Hundreds of people on here from all across the country know each other on a personal level. Get together outside the boards and all. He's not going to let himself get beat up over money BUT he's gonna put the members above the money all day long.

I just know that he puts the members above the money most of the time.
