So if you are anything like me you sometimes wonder where a person gets the user name that they have in the forums. I have found that sometimes there is an interesting story behind those internet identities.
I will get things started with my story. When I was 12 my dad took his old ford truck off the road because the engine was tired and it needed a paint job. It was a 1970 Ford F-100 with a 390 cid and a 4 speed tranny. We started restoring it together and got it almost done before he died. Of course it had a lot of sentimental value to me, so I got a friend of my dads to help me finish it before I turned 16, and it became my first car.
It was so awesome to drive that thing and know that my dad and I built it together. It was 100 times cooler than any of the fancy cars the other kids in school had, and it was all mine.
Of course being a stupid teenager, I did the bonehead thing and wrecked it when I was racing an 86 Mustang Boss. I was doing pretty good until that corner, and then that tree. I guess it couldn't handle as well as the muscle car.
So that is my story, would anyone else care to share?
