What's the story behind your user name/avatar?

[jayhkr]

YEARS ago when the internet was basically AOL and nothing else, my Dad and I setup our first online account. Well they wanted of course the user name, so back then KU basketball was super hot! Well we loved the KU Jayhawks so we wanted to incorporate our user name with them and wanted to be different. So we came up with jayhkr or "Jay-Hak-Er" It's something that has stuck with me for 20 years.

[Deathgoblin]

the avatar and name I use are from a character from a Champions RPG I played years and years ago. Fortunately since Champions is now an MMO, I've got him in a more live version.

[gray07]

Gray07 is the year and color of the dodge truck i bought new, and my avi picture is a van because, i love vans, iam in a van club called, Lighthouse Vanners.

[metalhead]

Well, I happen to absolutly love heavy metal. I also happen to have a hard head when it coes down to things I know I'm right on.

So, metalhead. My avatar is a 68 Dodge Charger. You can never go wrong with one of those!

RYAN.

[carrucha]

My user name is the nickname I gave my 1964 Chevy Impala. Carrucha is a Chicano/Mexican slang term for an old beat up car. I call my 1964 Chevy Impala "carrucha" because it's an old beat up car.

[vintagestang]

Well, we have a 66 Mustang that we are restoring.

[groo12]

Groo is a cartoon character, that I love, it is groo12 because the first 11 were taken.

My picture is a self protrait of me reflected in a hot rod hubcap, which is a bit arty and goes with my photography hobby.

I chose my username because I have 9 motorcycles and 14 bicycles in the garage.

I change my avatar ever so often, but it is usually me or one of my cycles.

Makes sense to me!

[Bonekrosha]

I got the name Der Bonekrosha (pronounced in an Ahlnoldt Schvahtzeneggah accent) in the Marine Corps because I can do a pretty credible Arnold accent and I've been in martial Arts since I was young and I'd been practicing Aikido for a while.

Every once in a while someone would ask me to show them a technique, they aren't comfortable

At the time Steven Seagal had just gotten pretty popular and my pals didn't belive that stuff worked.

So, I "convinced" a few.

Anyway, one of my buddies called me the Bone Crusher and it evolved into Der Bonekrosha.

[Olskoolrodder]

Mine is a combo referance to a magazine I like (uh....Ol Skool Rodz),as well as the style of builds or 1:1's that I've been into most of my 38 years of living. I only started building more modern stuffs this go round of building (since '05 or so...and ok,there were a couple newer builds back when,but they were the exception,not the rule). The avatar? It's my 1:1 that I sold within the last month,'94 GT Ragtop,not quite as stock as it appears/appeared Hmmm...I guess the next ol skool rod model that I build,I may make it my avatar,or since I'm a cycling freak (meaning I love ANYthing bicycle related,and of course riding when I'm physically able),maybe a ride pic? Nah...different subjects (one's a beloved hobby-building,the other's a lifestyle ).

[garryrenfro]

Guess I'm too lazy to think about a user name, but the avatar is a custom SMP 1959 Corvette that I built in mid-1960, when I was nine. It was the second model car I had built. The first was an AMT 1932 Ford Roadster, which I no longer have. I had built several airplanes, with my dad's help, before I discovered cars.

[PursuitGT]

my name is pretty straight forward i drive a 2006 pursuit gt and my avatar is of my car on lovely cresent beach which u can drive on

[brad4321]

I thought user names were evil and that we if we didn't all call each other by our real life names we wouldn't possibly be able to treat each other in a civilized manner. That's what I was told when the "you must include your real life name or you're not welcome here" thing was going on.

I'm not sure what my user name is. brad4321 maybe? That's my name with 4 easy to remember numbers after it. It means absolutely nothing. My avatar is my favorite driver displaying his pretty new sponsor and livery.

[David G.]

My username is just my first name and last initial. My avatar is something I drew a while back; I call it the Warhawk. It fits my current mood and frame of mind.

@Odaroloc24....... I see you chose to make your first post in my favorite thread! I'm flattered, and welcome to the forum!!!

[Odaroloc24]

And my Avatar is my dads 1970 Tempest T-37. All original but he recently sold it. Im really mad at him for selling it. They were talking about it being mine but they sold it first.

[gtx6970]

When I started in the online comunity. I owned at that time a,,1969 GTX convertible and a 1970 Dodge Challenger

I just shortened the accronym.

My avatar is because I love the old drag cars from the sixties and I think the shot just screams of the time period

Out of one of my all time favorite cars
