Where did you get your screen name?

I started wearing a cowboy hat several years ago to protect my face, ears and nech from the sun. I had some car pins which I put on the hat and wore it to all of the shows. Since then guys have brought me car pins from all over and I have a pretty large, and nice collection. Cowboy hat + California = Cal Cowboy.

I used to have a '68 Cougar for going to cruise nights.

 

Mine (Deanopopino) was given to me by a friend, now sadly deceased. I wouldn't change it now for anything.

There ya go, Roy! Missin' ya man!

 

Pila38:
Shortened version of my last name (Pilaar)
38 for the year of the sedan and pickup.
3 was always my lucky number, also the number of a legend (Earnhardt)
8 (for when Junior was #8)
Also my user name almost everywhere else.
There is a lot of meaning behind the name. To me anyway!

 

I take alot of speed, chase it with whiskey....plus I'm a Nazi

 

My mom liked Richard and my Dad's name was Fox

 

well guess mine's kinda self explanatory. the old lady gets mad evry time i drag home another pile of rusty shit . or so she call's them . lol . and i figured it was diffrent than other's . but i do also enjoy looking at the names also .

 

well it seems the only thing i ever own is junk so...........

 

Mine came from our fake 70's Halloween motorcycle gang called "The Roadheads". Burnt Piston and Rusty Sparkplug are also full patch members.

 

I got mine at a garage sale...along with some really cool Leif Garret posters!

 

It was on my birth certificate.

 

combine spidergearsman and coupe deville

 

i had to use my real name because ryan wouldn't let me get away with "hey asshole" that everyone else calls me

 

The first magazine that I ever shot for was Smokin Shutdown.....my name is Dave...and the rest is history. I don't smoke

 

Do you expect us to believe that?

 

My son opted for Honey instead of mom, it stuck.

 

Contrary to what most people think I'm not a "Rat Rodder", never have been. I got the nickname long before the term rat rod was ever uttered. The family dog, when I was like 11 or 12, was a small mutt that used to get in the pool and one of my buddies said it looked like a drowned rat when it was wet. So he started calling me Rat boy as a joke, well it stuck.

 

A group of us were gonna start a car club i said we could call it the meddlers........everyone liked it and a couple guys kept callin me meddler1 so i figured why not.besides im always meddlin with somethin anyhow

 

I paint cars for a living, and my name starts with the letter D.

 

CrkInsp -- Was my occupation and CB handle, a long time ago.
I did it for fun and profit.

 

My first HAMB event was this year: the Lone star round up in Austin. I participated (and won) in the Flyrite choppers valve cover race. On my second run, some woman standing behind me said, and I quote: "he's like speedy gonzalez" Hence: speedyg

 

We were between rounds at a top FC Shootout about 15 years ago....and we were gonna stepup the blower.....we were going all out....we brought in the clutch and we were looking for our 'big' drive pulley......couldn't find it....after 5 minutes.....I started cussing, grabbed a pully that was a little off......threw it up in the lathe, machining it down to go on the crank setup we were running.......the lathe was screaming......I was going warp 9 getting this done.....and we won after I built the drive system in about 15 minutes......the driver said we were about 5 RPM from total destruction!!!!!!!!!!

The name stuck............

 

Rather than car related...my screen name refers to my choice of defensive firearms. The Beretta Centurion is my first choice in personal defense. Caliber is secondary.....Centurion9

 

I was with a good friend one evening after a cool car show when we went into a little diner to get a bit to eat. We sat down, he order his food and then I ordered the hot turkey sandwich. He started laughing his ass off and thats was it! The name stuck, must have been the good smoke.

 

i tis hard to get an email add that is not allready in use so i screwed aroun till i found one that did not need a number behind it and was still easy to remember.but the scout parents flinch when i hand it out and my wiffe hates it i think i is here to stay

 

Friend in high school and I listened to thrasher type music and one day in class we were thinking up crazy weird names for bands and came up with "Thrashing Pink Cows."

When I started comming onto on-line message boards I needed a screen name and remembered our fake band name from high school and "Thrashingcows" came to be.

 

Just named after my business, I'm so boring.

 

Yea, my names "Couver" because Im from Vancouver, not B.C.

 

Umm.....I had a freaky ex girlfriend and well.......you could probably get a better explanation if you looked it up on www.urbandictionary.com
