Poor Boy was origionally a car that my father bought in 1971.... a corvette stingray 454 .......the car was custom painted a couple of year later and earned the nickname "Poor Boy" .......my father later owned a bar called Poor Boys and when he passed away my family had to sell the bar....we had the car until early last year after my grandfather passed away the car dissappeared.....all that is left is a couple of pictures and a replica that ssikpiyalnats created for me......honelstly to have one of the most infamous Forza painters do a one off for me is one of the best video-game honors i could have.....so please take a moment of silence for my father....a once great hotrod builder, a great man, and a great father.... RIP George Earl Walchock April 22, 1952- June 10, 1990

I've always wondered but never asked... I think that it is great that you kept this name in honor of your father.

I'm really sorry to hear about your father and I'm happy Sassy Pants was able to do such justice to the Poor Boy car. My thoughts are with you.
