Adam,
I can't say how much I appreciate being able to be a part of your wonderful creation! When you first told me everything that you planned on doing to your car I though "maybe a little overkill"! All I can say is WOW man was I wrong it turned out beautiful. I really like Scott's front-end treatment and the way that you did those stripes "uniform front to back". Love that car and can't say it enough. I am so ready to do another interior for someone maybe another color?? I really do not advertise my products except on a few boards and by word of mouth. I really want to get two complete interiors to so that I can do a turn and earn system. My only reserve to that is the parts (such as door panels and knee bolsters) will fit back into you car better than other parts. Keep in touch and hope to see you here in FL when you have the "biggest mod of all done".
Cute kid and makes me think how wonderful a person and parent that you are for having and caring for a special child with special needs. Obviously you have blessed with her and blessed with things like a beautiful Viper with enough funds make it into the beast that it is.
Your friend
Chad :)

Many will note there is now one picture missing from the orginal post. Some will scream "*****". OK, but in this day and age any image of a minor that could be misinterpreted could lead to significant legal issues. It's that simple. Feel free to emial me or any member of the web site committee if you have any comments.

Let's please keep this thread about a beautiful new Viper.

Thanks to all. I thank god that we live in a country which isn't run like this forum. Censorship of speech and now of pics of a little seven year old girl without a top on. WHAT HAS THIS COUNTRY COME TO?

What has this world come to? People posting images of their kids half dressed. Many will know that I do not always agree with things that happen here....but I am 100% behind this. Did you ever think there might be some whacko out there "polishing his Viper" while admiring your daughter???

I never used to worry about it, but my wife was ALWAYS very adamant about images of our kid. Goes back to when we lived in the UK and I was making web pages for family/friends to see. As it turns out, she was ALWAYS right about that. The fact that you WANT to post pics of a little seven year old girl without a top on has me quite curious about you, and surely has me seeing you in a different light. THEN....when someone steps up in an effort to protect, you cry "WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?", and again I say:

It has come to a place where fathers want to post pics of a little seven year old girl without a top on.

Scary!

PS. Gerald....I saw what you wrote. :) Who loves ya!?


PSS. I'd like to add that I would have thought any normal parent would have a reaction more like:

"Wow, I never thought about that, whew, that was really not a good idea I guess"

and quite possibly learned something. Instead they shift the focus OFF their lack of better judgement and complain. Many HERE might disagree with it....but I'd venture to guess that the human race (in general) would have done the same thing or supported the action. I guess if you, as a father, want to post pictures of your half-dressed child you are entitled to do so...just not here. Seems honest and forthright to me.

Tony, you have to understand when I posted that pic I didn't see my seven year old daughter with her top off. All I saw was my beautiful little daughter face in front of my viper smiling.
I suppose you're right about the fact of that there are all kind of wackos out there when it comes to perversions of little children. I apologize if that pic offended anyone or made them think about something other than it was intended.

Vipermad,

As I said before - STUCK-UP !!!

and I wish to add and agree with the following quote BACKNBLACK's previous comment: "These are people that there minds react right away to ********** with kids.."

and further, I ditto to riveflyer's comment: "BTW, don't waste time responding to people butting into your family business. This is a car forum not an open forum for people to question anyones family issues."

You guys are incredible lame - what a bunch of CRAP !!! - get a life !!!

Anyway this will be my last message on the subject.

That has got to be one of the best looking RT's I've ever seen. Seems to have just the right amount of mods without looking "overdone". And why would anyone mention your daughter (I didn't even notice her..or maybe you were able to delete the pic) when it is clearly more disturbing that you still have your Christmas lights up in August...and clean up that garage, would ya?

LOL, Carl the pic you saw christmas lights was on old pic from looking at the rear of the car. I assure you their gone. And yes they deleted the pic for reasons you probably realize. the garage I'm working on but since I have three kids and a ton of junk, I may just build one just for my toy!

Thanks

Whoa!!!! First let me apologize for coming off STRONG. It is just that my wife has rubbed off on me as far as the internet and images of children.

I was immediately troubled by this:

I apologize if that pic offended anyone...

I just want to say that I seriously doubt it was removed because it offended anyone. The fact that you are a proud parent is priceless in my book....that is awesome. I think I was originally more upset at myself for not having thought of removing the image myself, hence some of my frustration. It SHOULD have been directed more at myself. I think if we agree that the issue was NOT the picture of your daughter....but rather the way the image was taken, then I am the first to say I misunderstood and apologize. :) I don't want to make too much of this....I think I already did though....sorry!

Hans Christian....uhh....what the F are you talking about??? If YOU fit into the category of people/parents who WANT to post pictures of kids half naked, then I'll be STUCK UP (as you put it). There is a difference between posting a picture of my 9 year old daughter sitting in my car....and one of my 9 year old daughter, wearing a g-string and no top, posing with my car. "Can you hear me now????" Earth to Sunset Lakes, Florida!!!!! Too bad this is your last message....I am still unsure just WHAT you have a problem with. Let me show you to the door...bu-bye now.

Tony, I'm sorry but I disagree with you on this one. You know in the past I have been kicked off the board for alot of stupd $ht but I can seriously say that the only problem of the picture is that us here in America, because of all the freaks that have made this country like this, take offense to a little girl.Jeez man, when you go to the beach, have you never seen a little girl like that??Tony, if you came to europe you would then really freak out.But then again, I can't blame you for thinkiing like that because this is the defense we take to ideas that have been forced in are heads. Tony, in europe you see kids ****, yng kids..5,6,7..Never will you have an ***** looking at your kids or any sort of crime like that. Sure you might have one rotten apple that might look but I would say 99% of the crowd NEVER things anything of it. I'm not trying to start anything Tony but give you another side of the picture. I myself wouldn't show pic but at the same time I wouldn't bug out like the DH with the gross comment. He could have stated it better you know whatI mean. And let anyone in this room tell me I'm wrong, we as a society are so fcked in the head with child *********** its not funny. Because the society we live in, the good ol USA brought us with this kind of BS.This is my opinion, I am not argueing with anyone about theres opinion but Carrot DH could have been more of a gentelman towards someones kid. As you know Tony those comments wern't called for..

Tony...

One thing that we are forced to do is watch the legal issues of the web and we follow cases involving the web very closly.

It is a fact that sites and individuals have been prosecuted for posting images of this sort. Please understand that the last thing we want is for a child services person to show up at a users door to "protect a child" because of a cute picture posted on the web. The sad reality of this society is that the "state" does take children away from parents for the reasons that sometimes make no sence. It happens, and we do not want it to happen from something posted on this web site.

As I told Adam in the note I sent him:

"I hope you understand, but we are going to need to remove the first picture in your post.... We know it was intended to be cute, but in this day and age, it could be construed as something completely different. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note."

We cannot change a legal system that has become incresingly protective of minors, often even to the extent of completely ignoring parental writes. If you wish to discuss this further, lets move it over to the site suggestions area.

Well, I think Carrot may have a point, even though this is not what the post was about originally. He had no way of knowing, and neither did anyone else (his wasn't the only comment). I know we all feel bad when we find something like this out after the fact--like, hey when's the baby due? But the decision to post the pic was Adam's, not his daughter's. He should have shown better judgement; her situation is no excuse for his decision. In a big way, this was flame baiting. Although many of us feel bad how this all came out, no need to transfer that onto one guy. Just my .02

I made a judgemental mistake in posting the pic of my daughter not realizing people would focus in on that and not the pics of my car. My post stated that "This one is my favorite" with my daughter standing in front with a bathing suit bottom and no top. I certainly don't need anyone telling me what to do. However under the circumstances I accept Tony and Herberts explanation of liability and perception by others.

I'm somehow 'shocked' after I read the whole thread. I decided to not "answer", otherwise I would get kicked :)
I HATE child abuse in any form and do NOT support it in any way. I'm a father of two kids and know what I'm talkng about

But I had NO idea that such a picture could be taken so 'wrong'. Maybe because I'm from Europe?
At the age of 7 you should wear a shirt? Why? I do not recommend to post such pictures but if there is such a picture, what is wrong with it? We are talking about a 7 yrs old! Ok, ok... I stop here..

Adam, all the best for your family

I agree...the hood looks great! I can't wait to see it at Tator's next B-B-Q!!

Yo-Tony.....I spent 3 years living in the South of England and 3 years in Sicily, all that stuff is far from new to me. :) However:

My only gripe was that the first chance someone gets to point their finger and say the VCA treated them badly, or "they censored me", etc....they grab it by the horns. I apologize to all if my words seemed too harsh. I firmly believe this is one time there should have been a little more support for removal of this particular image. I guess I was a little pissed at myself for not realizing this. I am nNOT good at analogies (obviously), but I can only liken it to my son. He is now going to be in braces another 2 years because his previous orthodontist didn't recognize that he needed a differrent appliance. The thought of him being in braces 2 more years just kills me! The thought of some whacko downloading images (however slight the possibility may be) does the same thing.

And you're right Tony....it is no big deal in some places.....

I hope you all have a GREAT Labor Day weekend!! Drive safe!
