Except for the OBVIOUS ones.
What does your Username mean and how did you come up with it ?
Mine is a reference to Bob Seger's song "Gone to Katmandu!"
Yours ?

Holy cow, where do I start? I guess it began back in 94 or so at Edgewater. I went down there to make some passes in the Blue car after work anf forget that I only had my work boots on which makes driving a bit more difficult in the narrow confines of a Fox body with a 5 speed. Needless to say, my size 12 boot kept hitting the deadpedal (weird spelling it this way now) and causing missed shifts. I was so close to the 13s and was getting pissed about it. I happened to be parked in the pits near some camaro guys and they overheard me bitching to a friend about the damn deadpedal and I guess they remembered it the next week because when I got there one of them said "Theres that deadpedal guy" It stuck in my mind and when I signed up on the corral a few years later and needed a SN, it popped up. Deadpedal just didnt look right so I dropped the first "A" out of it and the rest is history.

Mine is a nickname I was given years ago in college. My roommates and I were at Applebees late one night for 1/2 price appetizers. Mark had the habit of always leaving his wallet on the table. I was always known for having cash and managing my money. The conversation drifted off to things we wanted to buy or do that cost a lot of money. I said I couldn't afford to do anything. Mark then proceeded to grab a butter knife and act like he was trying to pry open his wallet, and said "Jesus, you need a damn crowbar to open your wallet." The name crowbar stuck, and probably contributed to me becoming an accountant. I added the last three digits of my zip code just in case anyone had the name too.

Mine came from the fact that my late father and I were into streetrods and we both loved the Mooneys logo and we also had a bunch of the product on our 32 Ford 3-window coupe. I bought my Mustang about 2 weeks before he died and then I found this place, so I combined the two together to come up with my screen name in honor of my father.

I was always a big comic book fan when I was younger. The Wolverine part is obviously from the X-Men, which I used back in the early 90's for my screen name on all the local BBS's. The 84 is from my old 84 S-10 I had, and the 90 is from my Firebird I used to have (I used to be a GM guy). It has just kind of stuck with me even though I have had numerous other cars since then.
REDHOTGTGIRL
05-02-2008, 10:52 AM
Well, I was trying to come up with a good one to sign up here on SBZ with. I had a name I had used for years, but wanted something new and more fitting for a mustang site. At the time I had a Red GT and since I'm a girl I came up with redhotgtgirl just for fun. I haven't had that GT for almost 2 years and my cobra is blue, so it isn't really fitting anymore, but that's okay.

BIGRED Z came from the 02 Z28 I had. I was a redhead, the car was red. I was big. It all seemed to fit. People have mentioned recently that since I no longer have the Z, I should consider a change.

Named after a friend of my moms. I believe it is a scandinavian. I have been told by many that is is a common name in Germany, Austria etc.

Mammy gave it to me!:lol:
I have been known as Mustangman since a friend of a friend of mine, who didn't know my name, called me that back in the early '90s, at our local hang-out spot, full of very new 5.0s.
Close friends still call me that.
Decided to just use my own name on here.
It does make it easier at events to remember a person you meet, or put a name to a face or a post.:bigthumb

Mine is from when i first joined i had a 2000 black Lightning. I had Silver bullet exhaust, pulley, intake. I blacked out the windows, hence the sleeper part. it only said Lightning on the sides. svt and ford on the rear. I had billet grills up front. So my friends at work gave me the black sleeper name. I added th 2k for the year.
P.s. I could steal beefcake from terry, but i wont since i am nice. I can do the voice perfectly.

Contrary to popular belief, mine has nothing to do with porn. :lol: I was actually given this name twice in two seperate venues. First, during my time spent as a hacker in my adolescence. Second, by the guys over at Cincinnati Off-Road Enthusiasts. Before I lost my Jeep in my divorce, I into the off-road stuff. Someone wrote something about the way I drove and said, "That guy is hardcore, the way he drives he needs a rail buggy..." Or something to that effect. I guess I'm getting better about it, but it used to be that the word "moderation" had no meaning at all to me. :cool2:

Have a '89 GT and did have a 98 GT, when I signed up. The '98 is gone (Thank God), so I thought about changing my SN. Just can't come up with a good one.

I actually dont like mine anymore but ive used it for soo long im known for it. I always thought Shocker was a cool sounding word and made it sound badass, and it happened later down the road that i found out it was a sexual move. My first car and my current race car (same car had since i was 14 now 23) is an 86 camaro.

Years back I was looking for a personlized plate and wanted it to mean something referring to the engine and the car, so a friend of mine said "How about Horse Power?", so I shortened it for the plate and now use this for my login almost everywhere... Plate is still the same today
Well, mine is pretty simple. I used to go by COOP on the boards, but after the change and the dual login crap, I had to come up with a new name. My car has spent most of its life as it does currently, sitting in the garage. So Sleepy because the car is 'sleeping' in the garage, and GT beause it is a GT

Mine came from my car being the 1990 feature car. The car was supposedly developed in conjunction with 7-up for a give away during the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Hence the green color of the car. The give away never happened but the cars were produced.

the first forumboard i was on was the corral. it bothered me how people would put something up for sale and not post where it was located on an item such as a car, since it makes a big difference.
so i made it to where no one would be able to mess it up. unless i move out of state, then it's kinda messed up lol.
