Like Bill Wells, I got my user name back in 1955 from Ralph & Mildred (dad & mom).... Back in January of 99 when this club was just a baby and I was about the 10th to 12th member to log on everybody used their real name,so I just followed suit. Never thought it would get this good or this big....

Do have a few nicknames though, Crawfish is my CB handle,being from Louisiana and kinda backwards I guess,someone,I think, my brother-in-law gave me that name years ago,also called Cracky around the hunting and fishing camp,have no clue who gave me that one or why,but it has stuck and I guess it is o-k cause I have been called a lot worse....

Avanti... The car I had wanted since my father took me to a car
show in his lark and was parked next to a beautiful white
Avanti when I was about 5 or six in the early 70's.
176... Someone was already registered under the user name
Avanti so the 176 is the mph that Studebaker got their
stock little supercharged 289ci funny looking car to do on
salt flats way back in 1963 which took the big three almost
30 years to top with the zr-1 and viper. And convienently
all of the vette,viper,camaro,mustang and any of the other muscle
car enthusiasts out there refuse to aknowledge that it ever
happened.

Sorry for the rant but I am just sick of trying to explain that to everyone that makes me stay an extra 10 min's at every gas station I pull into and then they just roll their eyes and say..
YEAH RIGHT!

Everyone have a good day!

Serpente is Italian for snake, but to many letters for the license plate so ... SERPNTE

My wife and I are both radiologists and use raddox for an email name. Also, I have a domain name raddox.com that I might someday use if we decide to start our own radiology service. It's boring but it's who we are.

Bashers, and spam artists can character assassinate behind an assumed name, with little regard to civilized conduct. I aim to speak as though you were in the room.

Most people think it is the reference to my impression of our legal system in the book, Wind in the Willows,

but it actually has to do with my first race in which I participated....
I think I was five or six, you know the track at Disneyland, no, not Autopia, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Damn that Eisner for demolishing it at DisneyWorld!

It must be late.....

A humorous twist on the stereotype of my profession. We drive wide machinery down the center of the road, tying up traffic at a blistering 15-18 mph, only if the road is really smooth. (no suspension) In the field we work at 4-7 mph for hours on end.

On the flip side, I've owned some sort of high performance Mustang or Shelby ever since I was in college. The first car I ever bought was a 1968 Shelby G.T.500KR Convertible. My parents let me drive their old station wagon during college, so my car stayed home, safe and sound.

Aussie Mike is just a handle I hide behind while I fling out insults and spam.

My real name is Veronica. I hear this name is in demand so I may put it up on Ebay unless someone here will make me an offer.
