 Picture this.... It's 1970 and I'm 16 years old.  Cell phones weren't invented yet but walkie talkies and cb radios were very popular.  My handle was robin hood but I used hood for short.  When I joined cc.com it was a no brainer to use hood again.

Used to be my initials CP, but got to many emails asking for mechanical help (mistook for ChrycoPsycho) so the rest is evident (unless you drive a Ford and then it is my car) :)

If you know where the Yukon is it's a nobrainer...even though I'm a few hours away from the Arctic circle I figured I was safe. Little did I know there already is a member from overseas withclose to the same name and he does live a above the circle! :faint:

Like burdar mine doesn't have much thought - it's my initials spelt out

Everyone keeps calling me Jay.  I don't mind, reminds me of a comedian's skit.


I do the same thing with ShelbyDogg. I keep calling him Shelby instead of Rob :biggrin:

Made me think of that Natural Light beer commercial from years ago - "You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay ..."  :rofl:

Mopar- Al   easy enough

The summer of '85 I spent a lot of time in Redondo Beach CA with a group of Mopar fanatics. One guy was going to college in the area but he was originally from New Jersey. His name was "Al", but he liked to refer to himself as "Big Al". However, with his thick New Jersey accent it sounded like "Big Owl" when he said it. It sounded funny to us so the name stuck and he was refered to as "Big Owl" after that.  :rofl:

Mine evolved from Street_Charged from back when I had bought a total rust bucket of a '69 Charger & was using that on Dodge-Charger.com...

Once I sold that major project & purchased the Chally, I thought it would be cool to just replace Charged with Challenged...Whoever thought the name would stick & currently hold true?! :biggrin:

BTW: I bought the car 11 years ago & it still has yet to hit the road under its own power (Street_Challenged for sure! :( ).

I'm in the same boat as you, Street_Challenged73.  Bought my car about 10 years ago and not on the road.  Runs, but never registered under my name.

Like others, Super Blue is the color of my car, Code TB3, and 72 the year.  Plus it rhymes.  :icon16:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
