What's is a name?

Some people's screen names are very creative, and not all of their meanings are clear, so what's your screen name mean?

I registered last year just after I blew the motor in my Challenger. It doesn't mean that I have a blower on the motor.............but maybe some day :drool:

Well my original name was sleepychallenger because my car was referred to as a factory sleeper. Then I changed to rotting wheels because Florida did a number on the car and I was fixing all of the rot. Now I am getting her done while I am away...who knows what will be next

A while after I bought my car, in the early 80s, I was playing a strategy board Game called Car Wars, about armed and armored cars. I was designing a Challenger for the game, and I wanted it to follow the real Challenger nomenclature (TA, SE, RT). About the same time I was reading a book on submarines in the Cold War, and I came across the concept of a Hunter/Killer. Thus, I named the car in the game the Challenger HK.

Decades later when I joined c-c I needed a screen name and I flashed back on the Challenger HK.

Mines obvious,  Its the displacement of the 20R in my 76 Toyota Celica of course. :burnout:









Truth be known though,  My stoner friends and I used to hang out at our local arcades back in the 80's and we would flood the high score list on Asteroids and Black Knight pinball with initials like THC, POT and of course CID.  Just kept using it. :drunk:

I was originally MEKrunner. My initials and favorite passion at the time.

Then I changed to MEK-Dangerfield because of all the crapola I get, just like Rodney Dangerfield. It's all in good fun. I wouldn't have it any other way.

First three letters of my last name and first three letters of my first name.  No, I didn't put much thought into it.
