My user name is because I have yet to make a model out of just one kit. My avatar is the vehicle I would most like to make a model of, if I could ever figure out how!

Hey lane, Is your signature a line from "Contry Boy" by Aaron Lewis ?


As for me, It started as an email address that I opened with yahoo for work ( chrysler tech support wanted an email address to contact us) Its just stuck with me for most everything now.

My avatar changes on a whim.

Same here with that. My avatar is Gumby now because I couldn't load my lightly-Photoshopped Harvey Dent image.

My previous avatar was Jeff 'The Dude' Lebowski. No matter what you ever do in your life, you will never be as cool as The Dude. B)

As far as avatars go, I just use something I personally find amusing, while keeping it SFW.

User name is my real name, though I did go by 'Count Chuckula' for a while. That was a nickname given to me by a former supervisor at work. Harry even reworked a Count Chocula box image to read Count Chuckula, and that is what I used for my avatar during that time. :D

User name is no mystery. I love Calvin & Hobbes, although I was seriously jealous of Harry's 59 Chevy tailight.

Hotrodasaurus! I sell old hot rod type magazines, I used to specialise in the real early issues and had a good clientele until I obtained everyones magazines to complete their collections. Some people just didnt trust internet auctions, couldnt be bothered with them and I always bought collections and lots to improve my own collection so had lots of doubles.
So I thought up this slogan as my magazines were from the earliest period
"Hotrodasaurus, Selling car magazines from the Jurrasic age"

The picture in my Avatar? I always wanted a 1960 Cadillac, bought one 20 years ago. Sold it, but thats another story.

My avatar & screen name is currently sleeping in the garage. If this crazy-warm winter we're having continues, I might wake the Mistress up early this year.....

Well, as you can see from this picture, I am not very photogenic, so a good friend helped me out a little bit and he improved my avatar:
