user ID. How did you come up with it?

[Wookie316]

Well I was a HUGE Star Wars fan as a kid and was always the biggest guy in my class thus Wookie was a nick name. 316 is from the Stone Cold days. Nowadays though 316 to me refers to John 3:16. I've had a lot happen in my life including the loss of my first wife to suicide and my Father just passed away on Nov 30th of this year. My Faith in Jesus has carried me through these low times of my life.

[RCAddict]

I got hacked on everything associated with my old username on various Mopar forums which was RCAddict RC meaning RamCharger

DodgeAddict was a natural I figured being that I mostly chase 72-93 Dodge trucks now & have a knack for finding them

 

[shrek]

Well my buddies started calling me shrek years ago, thought it was because I was big and rough and tough around the edges with a big heart. but I'm thinking more like because I married the princess.

 

[Chickenman21]

Mine is/was the call sign of my UH1 "Huey" from you guessed it Southeast Asia. My avatar was the aircraft nose art.

Redhorse,
My last call sign in RVN was Chickenman21 and it seemed to fit the Road Runner theme. I was a UH-1 pilot with A / 227 AHB / 1 CAV. I also flew scouts with another unit and my call sign was Stingray White. That wouldn't work here.
Welcome home. Stand tall.

Wow. Not gonna spend $119 but that was sure a blast from the past. I remember hearing those episodes on the radio in the 70's all the time. I thought it was something the local station made up, didn't know it was so popular.

 

[Plymouth71]

I have loved 71 Hemicuda's for a long time. Plymouth71 seemed natural. I just happened to find myself buying a 71 Satellite. Everything comes full circle.

 

[Coronet 14]

It was the only name that took when I joined

 

[GetX'd]

Mine comes from having a bad *** 68 GTX and that being synomous with getting X'd in my review mirror during a street race. Does that make sense? It did to me......

 

[SteveSS]

Great stories. I have to admit I've wondered about Tall Hair. Not that I understand fully now. Propwash and Hyrdgoon. I always read it as Hydra Goon. I must have Dyslexia.

 

[Lionized]

The song from The Tragically Hip. Always loved it. Great driving tune!

[rocky61201]

I've been using rocky61201 since 1998 when yahoo first started. 61201 is the area code I grew up in, Rock Island Illinois. Rocky happens to be the nickname for my high school. Yup, rocky is not my personal nickname, never actually had a nickname come to think of it.

 

[cr8crshr]

Retired AF Loadmaster. Having flown the heavy's...34 years as an aircrew member...a good Friend of mine who I flew with used to refer to me as a "Strap Stretcher" or a "Crate Crusher". I would call him a "Light Watcher" as he was a Flight Engineer. The "Crate Crusher" stuck and I changed it to: "cr8crshr"...Tuck
