Where did you get your screen name?

Hummm,
My Name is Conrad and I live in Arizona?

 

It's my name. It all started one day in 77 when The King came through my town. My momma was the hottest piece of ass in the trailer park, and when she won front row tickets to the Elvis concert that weekend, she knew this was her chance. With the top she was wearing that night daddy couldn't help but take notice. Anyway, the stars aligned and momma managed to get the man she was after that night in the back seat of her beat up 58 Edsel parked around back of the concert hall. Nine months later I was popped out in the front seat of that same ride as she was pulled over on the side of the road, unable to make it to the hospital in time. She named me after that car, and years later I took my real daddy's surname after my momma revealed his identity in a drunken fit one night.

The preceding was a complete work of fiction and poster is in no way related to Elvis Aaron Presley.

 

I don't really know the idea behind my name, I guess I just thought of it. The closest explanation I can think of is I used to have a '79 Firebird. Hooker Super Comps and Flowmaster 40s, loud. Phoenix is another name for a Firebird, Fear is pretty obvious.

 

it was the name of a shotgun I liked shooting and seemed a good username buying gold coins so it was the first internet user name I every had and I use it on every online broad as allot of people are on more then on they instantly know who I am

 

I live on the island of Oahu in Hawaii and my nickname is Eli. Took me a long time to figure this one out. Still sharp as a marble after all these years.

 

i got my name after my 57 ford f100

 

Alcohol was a contributing factor.

 

alcohol? haha, mines a college nickname, although I prefer gin

 

Skeezix was my late wife's nickname as a kid and is the name of our sign business - Skeezix.biz - her grand dad (WW2 navy man) nicknamed her after the cartoon guy in my avatar

 

A word for cool or neat (different spelling) back in the day but it was brought back by the next generation, my son used it. I use it for the plates on my 61 Vette.

 

My Dad. Different middle names, something about being called Junoir I haven't ever liked hearing. Pops calls me Jay Jay.. I think it's funny when other people call me Jay Jay, but it's better than Junoir!

 

From Cannonball Run 2: Lamborghini girls: What do you have under the hood? Wrecker driver: 454 4 on the floor, full house with a blower!
I love those movies! Thats where I got my captain chaos avatar too

 

It's what my Austrian grandma called me when I was a kid. (she also called me a louse, & a rotten kid thru her heavy German accent, with rolling "R"s).
I can't remember being that bad.

 

Hmmm...

 

I do it all. Paint, welding, fabricating, some mechanical and try to play some guitar. I'm still not up to my own par. I'm still learning everyday. So I'm a jack of all trades master of none.

 

Well mine has nothing to do with any western movies so figure it out

 

my sons naem is Jonah and for a while we were into the Hot Wheels scene and now i just use it outta ease of keeping all my names straight (it's silly by now)

 

I joined when I was 17, and still in High School. Drove my Mercury to school all the time when it was decent out. A couple kids I went to school with called my car "The Tank". It was the best I could think of when I was sitting in the school library during study hall joining the H.A.M.B. Would probably do it differently if I was to do it over again. But Oh well, thats my screen name now.

 

Sgt. Floyd Pepper from the Muppet Show:



I was also a Sgt. in the Air Force and am a moderator at redpepperracing.com

Most friends just call me "Sarge"

 

wtf ??another genius coonass

 

The first time driving my latest creation, a bit of a Rat '39 fenderless Chevy p/u, pull into a gas station to get gas. An old guy comes over to look at the car, I figure he's diggin it. He says "Hell, this things a Deathtrap!" Yeah!!!!

 

First name and year of birth.

 

Spent a lot of good times croozin/wastin time on Old Hiway 99 when I was a young man, its kinda the Northwest mother road. There use to be several Jerry's Cherry type hotrod car lots, sleazy AHEM, hotels that rent "by the hour" Some slot car tracks, and a bit of neon. Plus I kinda thought it rolled off the tongue John

 

"Boston" comes from my accent, really!

I hail from the Boston area and I'm living in Seattle currently. Whenever I open my mouth to speak, I get, "Are you from New Zealand" or for better-or-worse, "Are you from New York"????

Might as well take the moniker...."Boston" ...there shouldn't be any confusion there!

Jim
AKA "Boston"

 

Mines pretty simple it's the car I was restoring at the time I made the name ... Oh wait I'm still redoing the damn thing ... ALSO KNOW AS --- WD40 I use on other sites , got that nic 20 years or more ago because I use to use wd40 as starting fluid and an old buddy down the road could not get his weedeater to start I went down and sprayed some wd40 in it and it started and every since he called me WD40

 

It's short for Rocky Mtn Rod & Custom, the name of my bodyshop.....dunno why I picked such a long name, but it's too late to change it now.......plus I love to see the mtns right outside my window.

 

who doesn't love bacon?

 

You win.

Mine was obvious and I couldnt believe it was still available here when I joined. I've always loved scaring the crap out of people on the track - especially people who think they drive fast on the street. Hitting the brakes at 140 when a 90deg corner is looming always gets their knuckles white

I built a GT40 replica that I did 60k miles in, and drove around many circuits in UK, France, Spain. What a blast that was.

 

I was a fighter pilot in the Air Force for 10 years, and spent 30 years as an airline pilot. Civvies gave us lots of names, skin heads, space cadets, pocket rockets, but I liked jet jock the best.

It's a native american thing.......
