What's the story behind your forum name?

[A8ked]

Mine is also a contraction, when I first joined a forum I was driving an Audi A8 and added my initals to make the name. The A8 has since been replaced by an S8 and joined by a couple of Porsches a 964 and 986. It is just simpler to just keep using the same forum name with different passwords. As it is I can not always remember my own name...let alone passwords!!!

[soxfan1966]

I'm a huge Red Sox Fan, born in 1966.

[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
