    So, I got to thinking the other day about those of us who spend our days on FChat. I think I have gotten to "know" a lot of guys and gals here on the board but I was wondering one thing...
    What does everyone's profile name mean?
    For example, mines easy, 355dreamer. I day dream about 355's.
    So, what does your name reference? I thought it might be an interesting topic. We'll see!

    My name is Jeff Johnson but my friends usually call me JJ or Jay. My First love was a 1973 porsche 911 Carrera RS Replica. Pics attached.
    owned the car for 3 glorious years from my 22nd birth day till my 25th. Now imagine the impact on your life if you had this car when you were that age?

    Devilsolsi= I made this as an AIM sn when I got my first car, a Honda Del Sol Si. The most creative I could get was to change Del to Devil. The only reason I still use this name, is because I have it as a username for jsut about everything, makes it easier then remembering a bunch of different usernames and password combinations.

    Before I joined FChat, I wanted to think of a user name that I would always keep. So, I thought of a way to fuse the word style and my name Tyler together and got sTyleR. The T and R are capitalized, because those are my initials. Interesting thread. . . . .

    Being Italian, I named my 42' Chris Craft, "Zingara" which means gypsy or wanderer. Having certain predictive insights, I always thought there was gypsy somewhere in my family tree. As to 250GTL, my first Ferrari was a 250GT Lusso which I had for thirty years.

    This one is really obvious, but on other sites I am LongDistanceOperator. I gave myself that name when I was an M1A1 Abrams tank crewman in the Army. I was also into 1,000yard benchrest (target shooting). I like shooting long range, with small arms and a 120mm cannon. Snipers sometimes refer to themselves as "Operators". Tankers sometimes refer to themselves as long-range snipers. I just put the two together.

    I loved being a tanker. I was damn good at it too. Here's a photo I snapped in Germany. Opened shutter w/cable release. It looks like the projectile is wobbling at the end of its trajectory, but we later realized it was the shock wave shaking the camera.
