What's the story behind your forum name?

[rexcramer]

Nickname + Last name.

[78F350]

1978 Ford F350. It was my vehicle when I first looked up info on an automotive forum. Before that, I used Chilton and Haynes manuals. I found it easy to remember and seldom taken and just stuck with it across the web.

[Steelepuls]

Steel Pulse is the name of one of my favorite reggae band. When I was signing up in 1994 for my very first AOL email address I connected the name together and cut out a letter or two since Steel Pulse was already taken. I still use the email address. Lol.

When I first joined and saw your name I thought it was a part of a bit address...go figure. It took a week or to for me to get it, and then I felt so stupid.

For me, when I joined, the other user names I would usually use were taken, so I went with the most uncreative and dull thing I could think of...initials...half assuming they too were not available, strangely they were and then the "sure, why not?" synapse fired and *poof* I'm just MWS. Yet another thing I would change if I could hit the lifetime reset button.

My first car that I really learned how to repair things. Also first car I started customizing as well. Replaced engine/tranny and did all maintenance. Tokico Illumina Struts, Enkei Wheels, Drilled Slotted rotors...etc. I loved driving this car as it was soooooo much fun to drive!!!

[Seal1968]

My name...well, you asked.

My first house had a 16 x 32 in-ground pool with a wooden deck. Needless to say, we had many gatherings, and beer-drinking adventures.

One time I ended up naked and drunk. I made some sort of half-assed dive off the board, swam up to the end where my beer was and leaped up out of the water and slid on my belly on the wet wood to grab my beer. I guzzled and clapped my hands and barked like a seal.

One of my wife's proudest moments I'm sure. Got a ton of laughs though.

The nickname Seal has stuck ever since.

ps..no slivers lol

HaHa! That's a great story!!

[PaulE]

Lack of imagination, first name and last initial, and some friends call me Paulie. On the old Porsche Pete's Boxster Board I was PaulieWalnuts just for fun, but I think that name was already taken by the time I found this place.

[Troy.Boxster]

Mine is very boring - just my first name and my car. Although now that I think about it, perhaps I should have used Troy.Boxster.S to be more precise. Or not... I think I like it better as is.

[NewArt]

Well, my degrees are in fine arts. My name is Newman. Been using NewArt for over 40 years in art projects and film-making. Funnily enough, my art and film website is NewArt.ca, not to be confused with NewArt.com which is a penis enlargement and related paraphernalia site!

My first day at work one time I accidentally typed in mictosoft dot com (or some similar spelling) and all sorts of adult "stuff" came up, close 1 browser window and 3 more open up etc... I was very discouraged and thought I was going to be in big trouble but it ended up being OK.

At least you probably get some free traffic to your site by folks that mistype the "other" NewArt URL

[gabedrummin]

My name is Gabriel and I like playing drums.

[Gjohn3707]

The sail number on my Thistle and part of my name Gary Johnson

[tommy583]

Mine is my first name followed by the c.c.'s of my first new snowmobile, Ski-Doo MXZ 583. The sled is long gone but I use tommy583 on a few different forums, easy too remember On a side note I've owed 3 new snowmobiles, but never a new car.

[husker boxster]

Pretty boring - I found the sight, probably had a burning question about my 01S, and wasn't a member of other sites, so I had to come up with a name. Didn't spend a lot of time thinking up something catchy. But I use this name on other sites (P-9, Quattroworld, SuperBeetles, etc) so people who cross pollenate will know who I am.

[Porsche9]

Mine wasn't very creative but all the porsches I've had over the years start with a 996, 986, 944, 911, 964)

[my15window]

Mine is for my 1961 VW 15 window microbus

[root_werks]

root_werks was a long time ago, the name of my part-time Porsche repair shop.

[L1ttleBastard]

It’s homage to a nickname I shared with James Dean...”Little Bastard”

When your father is a cruel miserable person and refers to you as “that little bastard” the best middle finger to the hate is to own it

[356Guy]

Not too hard to guess.....I drive a 356 in the summer.
