tell us what your screen name means...
 

11111

Mine goes waaaaay back... back when I was into snowcross and motocross. XC for the sled, and YZ for the bike. I've been using this name for as long as I've been on the internet.

Calvin & Hobbes a comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Watterson is my all time favorite. Calvin went on many adventures as different characters, one being Space Man Spiff...my favorite of the lot. Being a pilot I had AV8 on my license plate a few years back and it just kind of stuck. Combine the two and you've got it. It was that or Lucky13.

It's the reply given when people ask our customers where their car is getting built!

"It's at THE GMR"

GMR - G Machine Racing



jason

Mine is just my last name. Seemed easy, and no one else would have it.

Chris

camco is the name of my business, and jb for my initials.

Jody

Late Night = Project Name

72 = Car Year

I used to have a tricked out late model mustang that I converted into a Cobra mustang. A magazine editor coined it a "fakesnake" and the name stuck plus I set up a web page for my cars and later added the .com. Just a hobby (expensive one).

CRCRFT78 for Car Craft Magazines project 78 Malibu that I now own.

My parents found a 40oz of malt liquor in my truck (un-opened) right after I started college.

:_paranoid

:D

WOW Chris, that was fast, it's only been a few hours since we talked about this...now go paint something!! ;)

I finally know what Scott's screen name means...I have wondered for years...literaly!

Mine is just my initials and year of my camaro.

Yeah he told me all about the stuff he won't forward to me!! I feel so out of the loop!!

It was a car i had 1996 Camaro Z28 SS. They only called it a Z28 SS the first year the SS came back in 1996.
Ive used this screen name everywhere.

DRJDVM...... Dr Jackson DVM....I'm a veterinarian.....DVM=Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine

Most people have no idea what it means and once I tell them they finally get it..... thats after trying to sound it out for years...

Scott....now I finally know....I've always wondered.....yours too Jody.....

I always wondered.
So what does camco do?

Chicane (the not so obvious) = A Wolf in sheeps clothing

Chicane (the obvious) = (1) Deception, chicanery. (2) To resort to tricks or subterfuges. (3) A movable barrier used in motor racing; sometimes placed before a dangerous corner to reduce speed as cars pass in single file.

Originally, my screen name was "chicane67"... meaning the 1967 Camaro in sheeps clothing. The conceptual sleeper. A race car in street trim. Ect, ect... but the twisty additive to a race track also had its meaning as well.

pontiac= the car im building
65= year of the GTO

I shouldnt even be posting this it just is too simple to understand.

MSM = initials 69Z28 = favorite car

yeah.. I'm building a fox cobra, but previous build was a Z. I'm not a die hard, but rather interested in anything thats cool and fast.

thanks,

michael

Melman = My DJ Name, my first name is Melvin
109= Street I onced lived on

camtender = camaro that's a contender :evil:

Jerry

130fe= C-130 Flight Engineer, its my job in the US Air Force.

Mine comes from my days racing on the street. Smack Talker = talks alot of crap.:D

CCRACIN is compressed for C & C Racing. This was the name of my Dad's and my race team. When I started with e-mail etc. there were limits to not using symbols and more than 6 characters with the IP I was using. So since then it just stuck. The C & C is my name Chad and my dad's nickname Chops in any order.

Mine isn't much of a mystery but Jay is what my friends call me and R is my last initial.

Garage Dog - picked it up after talking to Smokey Yunick at Indy one year while I was in high school (you might know the story about his beloved hounds). I had noticed that every hot rod, race shop, body shop, fab shop and garage that I went to had 1 or several dogs that were always there hanging around, checking out what was going on and always had a great attitude - no matter how bad the project was going. I also really enjoy going to different shops and garages to meet people and see what they are doing - and I'm always amazed at how open, friendly and helpful everyone is, and how close knit of a community there is in this industry/sport/hobby. I've always been the most comfortable in a shop or garage environment and greatly enjoy the time spent there. (especially with Heat, TV and a Fridge !)

65 is just because someone had the base name -- so I threw 65 on the end for my 65 Porsche 356G project.

Lat-G is like a virtual garage to me with a bunch of really cool builds, cars and great people. It's very comfortable here !! Jim

Common Area Maintenance COmpany. I do parking lot and building lighting maintenace, parking lot sweeping, pressure washing, and thousands of misc. repairs from graffiti removal to changing ceiling tiles for commercial shopping centers. Since the charges are billed back to the tenants as CAM (common area maintenance) charges, that seemed like a good name for my company.

Jody

JSR is the acronym for our racing team we had prior to buying the Camaro. I wanted my wife to be part of it so she got first billing. Janie/Steve Racing.

69 is the year of my all time favorite car, 69 Camaro. Also happens to be what I'm working on now.

I always thought you were a Ford FE engine fan! :)

Jody

Bowtieracing , name wich i created years a go to stand for good beating of manual trans cars - mostly vettes. I couldnt understand why people were just hangin and talking each other at cruise nights....While i was looking for a race...

ZVT----ZEE my first name and VT is short for virtual...

Came from the first time I started posting on message boards as a designer

zee's virtual designs:thumbsup:

Mine was a username I got a previous job. Started with first 2 initials of your first name and first 3 initials of your last name.

Ryan Barichello or Rybar pretty simple.

Like Scott I've used it since the internet started :lol:

"tell us what your screen name means"

It is my name.

Marolf is my last name.
101x came from Charlie Swartz (http://www.swartzracecars.com/), a dirt late model racer when I was growing up. He was normally #1, then he semi-retired. When he came back he had 101x on the car and when asked why he responded, "cause it's all the numbers I had in the shop, and I think this is my last one. So if I use all the numbers I can't build another car!"

Here's a couple of links to some pretty cool "wedge" cars from the early 80's:

I used to race Mazda Rx-7's in pro 7, N.A.S.A and S.C.C.A events and ran a site called mazspeed.com, still being ran by someone else now, but hence the screen name.

Speedster - from the years of high speed boat racing which kind of started when we purchased one of the original twin engine Sea Doo Speedsters back in 1994. (By accident we were at the dock when the Sea Doo guys went out testing prototype #1 down here in Florida)

Final Cut- taken from Pink Floyd's last album. I used to own a shop called Street Works, we built a number of cars there, some of them you may have seen, most of them you probaly have not. The Fairlane I took back to Columbus was the last one. I have sold the shop and all of the tools.......Final Cut.

Mine is from John Mecom's racing team. He was the one who got the Grand Sports from GM back in '63 and raced them.
