In the early '90s when I started getting on the Internet via America Online, my '81 Turbo Trans-am was my relatively new-to-me daily driver.  I figured TATurbo would be a screen name I could remember easily every time I wanted to dial-up to America Online.

I played softball many moons ago.  And in one of the games I was playing in I hit the ball to the outfield fence and took off like a rocket.  As I was running the bases I heard someone from the dugout yell "Look at those wheels".  I wasn't the fastest runner, and I don't have long legs........but they said for my short, heavy stature I could run like the wind.  As long as the wind was at my back. 
I had a brown 1978 Trans Am w/403 at the time.  I have since sold that Trans Am and bought a 1978 Y88.  So the user name still fits.

I was looking at your aviator and the whole thing did not make sense until I saw your username.

Thanks Mike! Work and kids have taken up a bunch of my time the past few years, but I'm hoping to get to spend some more quality time with the '78 (my baby) and old friends from TAC!

I have a 2002 Formula and I kinda thought about getting a personalized licensed plate saying what the car is, so I came up with 024mula.

The car belong to my wife's aunt. Her name was Pat. And she sold it to her daughters husband. I bought the TA from my wife's cousin husband (Her Aunt Pat's daughter). So I figured since Pat bought the car new in 79 and my name is also Patrick. I come up with Pat's TA
Her aunt did get to see the car through pictures after I restored it. But never got to drive it again before she past from cancer.

My user name is a reference to the 1941 film The Maltese Falcon. In the film, the characters are trying to steal / recover a statuette called the Maltese Falcon which is jet black in colour but is reputed to be made of solid gold. The characters in the film often refer to the statuette as the "Black Bird".  At the time I joined TAC in about 2002 - 2003 I had a black 2000 WS6 - a Black Bird.
My profile picture is an Australian Black Falcon.
My real name is Steve Robertson.
