Featured Folks Of Interest Let's revisit user names

When I signed up to the HAMB I couldn't think of a good name so I just used the name I gave my first ride... a green razor scooter (GreenBlade) silly name, I would choose a different name if I were to sign up today but people know me as GreenBlade here so I won't change it.

 

You’re on the right path Dennis, keep up the good work.

 

Thirdyfivepickup...

My pops picked up a creampuff 35 Ford pickup back in like 2003 or so. I picked this screen name hoping to get some knowledge and help him source parts/ideas for it and to document his progress.

It's still in pieces (for sale even)

All I ended up doing on here is piss people off and meet some pretty cool people.

Viva la HAMB

 

One of my early mentors was the Body Shop manager at the local Chevy dealership where I worked for 16 years. He was called Dusty from all the Bondo dust. Awesome guy, helped me a bunch with cars, motorcycles and general life info.

 

it never would have struck me to haul a trailer on a trailer.

 

My '63 Biscayne mild custom (in my avatar pic) is nicknamed "Biscuit".

 

Mine is pretty obvious,

It has been my company name since 1983. I always thought it was important folks knew exactly who they were dealing with, so no aliases. It is the same on every forum I am on & my full name as owner is there as well.....Nothing To Hide.

God Bless

My name is Matt Lagusis. So I used mlagusis but wish I had used Matt-Lagusis

 

When computers first came on big in the early 1990's I was drag racing Fox Bodies. "Mustang" hence they were an native American war horse. My drag racing moniker was War Horse Racing. Combined the three words and viola. "Warhorseracing".

 

Was my AIM username as a young guy. AIM = AOL instant messenger.

 

I've had Crosleys on the brain since the mid '90s and used crosleykook as my ebay handle way back then. At the time, ebay users could message each other (like if you were both bidding on the same item) and it was cool that other Crosley-interested ebayers could see my username and reach out. It was hard to find likeminded weirdos back then! The nickname stuck and I've used it on various platforms... and my wife used it as a title of a short movie!

 

I was playing in a blues band when I started here so I used a famous blues guys name John Lee Williamson. My name is John Williamson so I just threw in the "Lee" middle name

 

If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't use what I picked.
If I joined today, I would go with my name, area, possible combination of both.
When I joined in 2009 I was building a '40 Ford pickup, so without any serious thought, I went with 40FORDPU...should have chosen a lesser specific user name.
I still have a '40 Ford p/u (a different one), but I have/had a variety of other cars.

 

Back when I was in High School, I drove a school bus. One of my fellow drivers was into model Ts. I would go over on weekends to help him. One day he stated- "you sure like banging on that old tin" and called me "banging" after that. It just came to mind when I joined the HAMB.
