Toppy is a spin on my last name that my late son used all the time. I use it in his memory, he passed away shortly after I purchased my car

Bald Eagle should be obvious... it was also my handle in college when I started losing my hair in my late teens.

Well, "Mann" is my last name, and if you use your imagination, you can figure out the rest.

That is a REAL nice model RR setup. I had to do a double take to see if it was a model RR or the real thing.

There was this old guy that used to come in to this bar daily when I lived in Oklahoma. By daily, I mean every single day. When his beer was empty he would, very loudly, exclaim, "Co Beer!" Me and my drinking buddies found this very amusing. So I stole it and added my childhood nickname, Toad at the end.

Double entendre

The Boxster was my 1st ragtop and I drove it "top down" everywhere for almost two years. 986forum is the only place I have used this screen name and most other sites you can find me as Cajundaddy.

Cajundaddy? Are you a relocated coonass living in California? I'm 1/4 coonass and 3/4 wannabe coonass so I can say that.

It's complicated.

While I do have family in southern Louisiana and TX including a parish named after my daddy's side "Moss Bluff, LA", I am not technically Cajun by blood... as far as we know. My dad came to CA from the TX panhandle in the back of a pickup truck during the 30s dustbowl era. A chapter right out of The Grapes of Wrath.

The Cajundaddy nickname comes from my cooking style on the BBQ. I like to get her real hot before throwing on the meat so it gets properly seared right away and locks in the juices. One time I was feeding my kids swim team and things might have gotten a bit beyond the searing, and all the way to blackened. We all had a good laugh after the flames were doused and Cajundaddy was my name for the rest of the year poolside. It just stuck.

I have had several jobs test driving cars & worked as a Chauffer in L.A. for many years where I got to meet many interesting people.

Mine was assigned by the company I worked for over 40 years ago. Computers were becoming prevalent in business and their format was the first 6 letters of your last name and your two initials. Since I used the same user name for over 30 years, it's easy for me to remember.
