user names?

[dirtybird]

I Don't Know If It's Been Done Before Or Not But I Was Thought It Would Be Cool To Know Where Your User Name Came From.

I Got Mine From The "nickname" From Local Motorcycle Club. Their Patch Is A Eagle.

Hi I got mine from mashing up "Procharged Camaro".............In the UK "bird" is slang for woman/girl and "dirty" is slang for loose or slack. I mean no dis respect. But when we "Brits" see "Dirty Bird" we read something other than I think you intended.

[camcojb]

mine was from my company name (Camco) and then my initials.

[jocko124]

Mine came from my boss when I used to work @ Mobil--He called everybody Jocko!

[Ron in SoCal]

Not sure...

[waynieZ]

MY user name is from when I was 17, they're we're two exact copy 69 Z/28's in the city Red w/Black stripes. I had one and a guy who lived 1 block away from me had the other one. We we're the same build had the same color and length hair. They called him Tony Z and I was Waynie Z. I don't understand it every time someone saw me racing, The standard reply was, IT MUST HAVE BEEN TONY!. He got me in all kind of trouble :unibrow:

I have another user name on other sites Motown 454 because of the power I'm using for my Camaro
And on for non car related sites. Shureshot That one I got from my wifes GYN We we're married 2 yrs but wanted to wait to have children and she was on the pill I was with her when the doc said she was pregnant. I said I thought they we're 99.99% safe. He said Well hello mister .01 I guess we can call you Sureshot now. So I used to say I'm good with my pistol and I don.t shoot blanks!

[GregWeld]

Um........ let me think about that.......

[FreddieCougar]

I have had my 69 Cougar since I was 16, and we have been though a lot together. At one point in the late 80's/early 90's while I was working at a Speed Shop in Seattle, I was talking to a co-worker about how difficult it was to keep track of parts and pieces while the car was apart. I had just moved for the second time while I had it disassembled, and was whining, no doubt. My friend said "what a nightmare, it's like Freddy Krueger or something....Hey! Its Freddy Cougar!" and it stuck....I hate naming cars, my mother has a name for all 6 or 7 of hers, but I am stuck with that one.

[69MyWay]

I got my screen name from Rad Rambler - ages ago. He always said he wanted a personal tag for his car that said 69MyWay - It just kind of stuck with me and when I was building my 69 Vette I borrowed the idea and ran with it. Since then and after I've owned several 1969 models - so it just works.

[70rs]

I've been called a lot of names that I shouldn't re print here. But my screen name only came about because I am just not very creative.

[ccracin]

My Dad and I started racing Stock cars about the time I got my first email account years ago. We called ourselves C&C Racing. Back in the early days of dial up etc. there were some pretty strict rules on user names. Length, characters, etc. So C&C Racing became CCRACIN and it has stuck ever since. :thumbsup:

[MoonMan]

My last name is Moon...friend's call me Moon Man so that's what I went with.

[214Chevy]

Mines is just a plain ole name. My first car is my Chevelle and it had a big, beefy 509 c.i. big block in it.

[Bryan O]

Arrrgh! Shiver me timbers, bucko. I can't find me eyeball!

[Garage Dog 65]

Garage Dog - picked it up after talking to Smokey Yunick at Indy one year while I was in high school (you might know the story about his beloved hounds - Junk Yard being with him at the track that year). I had noticed that every hot rod, race shop, body shop, fab shop and garage that I went to had 1 or several dogs that were always there hanging around, checking out what was going on and always had a great attitude with tail wagging - no matter how bad the project or day was going.

I also really enjoy going to different shops and garages to meet people and see what they are doing and learn new stuff - and I'm always amazed at how open, friendly and helpful everyone is, and how close knit of a community there is in this industry/sport/hobby. I've always been the most comfortable in a shop or garage environment and greatly enjoy the time spent there. (especially with Heat, Stereo, Cable TV and a Fridge !)

65 is just because someone had the base name -- so I threw 65 on the end for my 65 Porsche 356G project.

Lat-G is like a virtual garage to me with a bunch of really cool builds, cars and great people. It's very comfortable here !! Jim

[Hulley]

G-Dog Jim - that was a great story and vid. Thx for posting...:yes:

[Xplosiv]

I bought a C4 corvette in high school and came up with the name joking among my friends for liscence plate ideas. (C4, explosive = xplosiv, get it?). Then my c4 ended up getting stolen and wrecked. :mad:

[Lenie]

Lenie, just plain Lenie. Now you know.

[Ummgawa]

what the natives called Tarzan in the old black and white movies.

[Sandbagger]

Its stock ... honest :unibrow:

[Procharmo]

what the natives called Tarzan in the old black and white movies.

I thought Ummgawa was a command Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) once gave to an Elephant. I thought it meant "kneel down so I can mount you". Or am I getting that mixed up with a prison movie!!!!LOL! Great name!!!

[awr68]

My initials and year of Camaro I have.

[CRCRFT78]

CRCRFT78
I purchased Car Craft magazines project 78 Malibu. MY 3rd 78 at the time. It just stuck while trying to figure out a name to use while looking at the car. Its my screen name on all the forums I'm on regardless of topic.

Just out of curiosity---who's the woman in your avatar?

[WSSix]

Mine is because I owned two WS6 equipped vehicles.

[SLO_Z28]

Fast driver in a Slow Z28. :willy:

[spdtrip]

Mine I gave myself, it is also my vanity plate. it just means that speed and car stuff in general is my drug.

[DETON8R]

I chose my handle from my Project Car's name, and because I work with explosives in my career. See my project build for a few other associations between the car and the project name.

Love this one, the play on words and Acronyms is AWESOME. Wish I would have thought of it myself.... Maybe that will need C4 Vette to be a future project, since I love the idea of explosives in my projects.

Just not sure how I'm going to do keep explosives in the name of the car with the next planned project, a 65 Volvo P1800.

wheres pics of it?

[Shmoov69]

High school....MANY years ago!! LOL!

Some of my friends slang of "smooth 69", also the tags on the car.

On the HAMB I am GONMAD, which are the 58's plates. Friends were wondering if I was crazy to buy a wagon without kids (at the time). Also fits with it being a Nomad.

[Track Junky]

I thought Ummgawa was a command Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) once gave to an Elephant. I thought it meant "kneel down so I can mount you". Or am I getting that mixed up with a prison movie!!!!LOL! Great name!!!

Gonna' use that one :unibrow: :lol:

[FETorino]

The car really takes on a life of it's own stealing $$ out of my wallet and occupying so much of my time. The online identity is really about the car. I'm just the scribe signing its posts.

[intocarss]

People I grew up with and haven't seen in a while always ask "are you still into cars" and I am. the second S, is for Chevy SS's. My other screen name is Real3fann :cool:

[Z10ROD]

started on camaros.net my first camaro was a Z10 and my name is Rodney

[Ketzer]

Ketzer is German for heretic. I used to have several old VWs and they were not traditional. The VW camp is full of purists (a-holes) and they are very quick to judge. I love purists, like shooting fish in a barrel.


Jeff-

[89 RS]

Mine took a lot of time, effort, and creativity. ;)
I had always wanted a Third-Gen Camaro since I was a kid. Growing up in the 80's and 90's had a great influence on that, but I couldn't afford the insurance back then. :_paranoid

[SuperSport]

[Bucketlist2012]

Due to health, I had to retire early.

So I am on my BucketList..

Traveling, and throwing money at my car like a drunk in a stripper's club.:thumbsup:

[sik68]

Way back at the turn of the century when I couldn't stop saying "that's sick", sik68 was my license plate. I wised up and ditched the plate...

[TorqDork]

Mines easy.

The "Dork" part is because my favorite car is my AMC (AMX):lol:

The "Torque" part is because it has "Gobs" of Torque!

My "Jethro" Avatar is because I did my "Gazintas" when I built it!!

[INTMD8]

When I was 19 I built a caged 70 Chevelle with a dual quad blown big block, slicks/skinnys/etc. It wasn't that fast (11.20's) but back in the day it would take care of most of the quicker cars in my area and tended to intimidate people. So, the license plate on the car was INTMD8 and therefore my screen name.

[analyte]

Chemistry major by degree, and using Kemist got old after awhile.....:thumbsup:

[pw2006]

Mine is my daughter's initials and the year she was born (and the year I bought the vette). :unibrow:

[E-tek]

Mine is my business name, E is my first initial and "tek" to me denotes wanting to do things right.

[high impact]

High impact design is the name of a design company I own.
