Where did you get your screen name?

Its my name. Nothing clever, or witty, just my name.

 

name is Jack. The mad part is I ride a TopFuel motorcycle for fun

 

Take a guess.

 

Sidedump came from the time I tipped over an end dump trailer. It's a name your given until someone else does it and I quit. So, I don't know it anybody else tipped one over. That and it never seems to be taken. Unlike so many other cool, catchy names.

 

Mine's from the old Rockabilly song by Red Sovine "Juke Joint Johnny". My name is John and I really like all the old music you would've heard in a juke-joint, - Rhythm & Blues, Blues, Rockabilly...

 

mine is derived from my 38 Dodge Business Coupe

 

Mine came from always getting in trouble for driving too aggressive on the race track, and being a little Dennis the menis growing up. The speed shoppe is because I usually have a shop full of race cars/cars either being fixed, setup, or built, and I like the 50's pin-ups!

 

Spununit. Maybe a wheel is a spun unit, maybe a flywheel, maybe a crankshaft, maybe a tether car, maybe I lost control doing circle work. Could have spun a bearing. I'm on the edge of normality.

I'm just a spun out unit!

I spun out and lost it, get out of the way!

Spun out for old junk, cars,bikes,girls and goats!

 

Wow, side dump. I dump from the rear.

 

I put a 528 HEMI in a Dakota. I called it "Da- Hemi- Kota".

 

Are you kidding? You should try taking a ride with me sometime. Although, it can be hazzardous to your health.

MINNEAPOLIS CAFE RACER.

(If I need to explain what a cafe racer is, we've got a serious problem.)

 

This is kinda of a long explanation but a good one.

I was taking out 2 full garbage bags of trash to my dumpster. I put both garbage bags in my trunk since I didn't want them to drip in my back seat. I remember taking a phone call, but forgetting the garbage in the trunk and driving off!

The next few days I noticed fruit flies in my car, keep in mind that this was late August which are some of the hottest days in Texas, I really didn't think anything of it until my buddy asked what that slight rotten smell was. I had a Smooth King cup I left the previous day but the concentration of smell didn't come from the cup, it was all over the interior of the car.

After all this I still didn't remember the garbage in the trunk, until I started smelling the back seat area. Let just say that when I opened my trunk it was pretty rotten! The 2 full garbage bags managed to come loose spilling all over the inside of my trunk. The trunk acted like an oven in the Texas heat, which made it worse especially when I opened the trunk. I honestly didn't even wanna open the trunk, I knew I was going to get a rotten surprise.

So, this is how the HotGarbage phrase started.
"Nothing like having Hot Garbage in the back of your trunk" This has been a joke/phrase used since the incident.

The 54 Bel Air I picked up last week is just as bad on the inside since the rats, and other vermin decided to make the interior its portable outhouse.

 

Mine is pretty obvious, the model and make of my '34.

 

I got mine because I got sick of Atlanta,my job and my cheating girlfriend, quit my job one day, loaded up everything in a Uhaul truck,put the car on the back, and headed South, stopped to put the stuff out of the Uhaul in a big ass storage locker in Fitzgerald,turned in the truck and spent about six months living out of my car, homeless shelters,tents,friends places once in a while,went all over the south.Met some really interesting people. Din't tell AnYONE where I was, ended up here in Moultrie, met my wife, and the rest is history,that was about ten years ago. Hence the name

 

Errr, let's see.

I like gangster gangster films (Scarface, Goodfellas, Casino, Analyze This, A Bronx Tale etc).

When watching one of these I saw that the term "Rat Bastad" was used, the name kinda stuck with a close buddy of mine and so here I am.

I realise this term aint one of endearment or respect, (esp by Wise Guys), but I like it......to me it sounded as cool as hell when I first heard it being used on film.

So there you go.

Rat

 

I have never not loved cars, I have 20-50 racing oil in my veins. Love all cars as long as they have an engine and there is no substitute for cubic inches or horse power.

It all started with the Indy 500 in 1964 and four 4 trips later. After I got over that, I graduated to Bonneville, after many years of that, I have salt in my shoes and a bad case of SALT FEVER.

Best times of my life is on the open road in my topless roadster.

"Real Roadsters don't have tops" and if it don't have 3 pedals it aint no HOT ROD" !

Lots of folks have cars, but the 32 Ford Roadster is the ultimate HOT ROD for all times.

As a child, I wanted to be a race car driver, I had planned to change my name to RUSTY SPRINGS, now I am Rusty Springs...

As much as I love cars, My LOVE of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is greater by a factor of millions. Sure hope you know my LORD, it is not to late to give your heart to JESUS. John 3:16

If you don't know the Lord as YOUR Saviour, I trust you will rethink your position in life. Each breath in your lungs and each beat of your heart are blessing from only one person, Jesus Christ. God Bless you my Hot Rod BROTHERS....

 

part of my last name "Smargiasso"

 

khughesprime is from parts of my name and I had too many email accounts for work and play so I created an email account ending in prime for primary.... I use khughesprime for all my site forums to make it easy to remember

LTR Dave Hitch

 

but maybe you can explain the whole mini-appolis thingy

 

I had a 52 buick with a straight 8 in it. They called the motor the Buick Fireball Dynaflash 8

Thus, Dynaflash 8

 

My epic project is my '57 straight axle Chevy. Owned it since 1984.

 

the Fishstein is a family name and I have worked and have my degree from the medical field, so people call me doc or Dr. Fishstein.......and I am a black market doctor......

 

I worked as a tourguide here in chicago. Of course most of what outsiders think of chicago is Al Capone (Alphonse). People always wanted to know if I was an Alphonse. Although my great grandfather worked for the man in some capacity I think I may have been named after his wife. Great grandma Alice.
So I've had to tell numerous people that no; I'm not Alphonse from chicago,
I'm Alfred from Chicago. (Alfred the III.)

 

Mine is my late dogs name...RIP "Gizzy"

 

Well i came up with the name because i couldnt remember my old hamb name.

 

What I get to work on... see avatar
