I wondered about yours, I have you saved in my phone as "Chris Deserion".

Maybe you could serialize your story on a blog, it could be the next "The Martian", and if a lot of people start reading, then you would have to finish Just remember your 986 brothers and sisters when you hit into the big time.

[Frodo]

My path was accidental and admittedly kind of an impulsive and dumb choice. I had been lurking on the forum starting over 10 years ago (well before I got my Box in 2006), but hadn't ever bothered to register, content for a while just to absorb what others wrote. A few years later, one of my sons saw me reading some post or other and asked why I didn't join. Told him I just hadn't bothered, had never been a member of any forum before, hadn't really even figured out how to do it. (As the bad guy in Live Free or Die Hard said about Bruce Willis’s John McClane, I’m kind of a Timex watch in a digital age!)

So he elbows me aside at the computer and starts to do it for me. When he got to the point where he needed to enter a username, he asked who I wanted to be, a question I wasn't exactly prepared for. Not having really thought about it, I just sort of blurted out "Frodo", the first thing that popped into my head. (I think possibly we had recently seen one of the Lord of the Rings movies maybe?) Thought I could give it more thought later and change it down the road to something I would be happier with---didn't realize that such changes can't be done. Soooo, 1,508 posts later, I still be Frodo. It remains a goofy choice, but it's sort of grown on me over time.

[OneBoxFan]

I've loved 986's for years. I'm in dad mode at the moment so a 2 seater isn't really in the cards. I complain to my wife from time to time about trading in my "dad" car to a "fun" car (a 986), so for my birthday she got me Porsche sunglasses and a box fan.

Ha! So I'm OneBoxFan because that's what I have (and BoxFan was taken)

m332is

We had a first generation BMW e30 M3 and turned it into a race car when we added an e36 M3 to the stable. In the US the e36 M3 got 3.2 liter version of the US 2.8 liter motor while the euros got the real deal individual throttle body model that made way more power. I got license plates for that car that said 332is (as it was really just a more powerful 328is). I added the "m" and kept that screen name for most forums.
