Your user name

[Jack]

Long time ago, I've started a post to see the meaning behind user names. Not sure if it's fun anymore especially with so many that use their real name (me included) but post up and let us know the meaning behind your user name.

[FormTA]

Well, I have a Formula and a TA. Ya, not much though in that...

Thanks guys!

[Mumbles]

Mumbles is my CB handle. 

Citizens Band Radios got to be popular among a few friends when I was in high school.  (This would have been the mid-90s.)  About the same time I was awarded a part in the school play.  It was called "Night of the Living Beauty Pageant" and my character's name was "Mumbles".  Once I got my very own Uniden CB Radio installed in my parent's '79 Chevy Cheyenne, I had to pick cool code name and that's what I went with.

When I started joining a few forums it seemed like a simple decision to carry over this moniker as my online callout. 

[Casey]

Happy belated birthday Jonathan!

[72projectbird]

Back in 09 my Dad and I bought a 72 bird that was an ambitious project to say the least. At the time I couldn't think of a user name, so that's what I came up with.

Funny enough, we sold that car after a few months of ownership to a somewhat local guy. I haven't owned another 72 since, but have/had 70s, 71s, and 73s. lol

[5th T/A]

Jon,

Also wishing you a belated happy birthday!

[jonathonar89]

Time to start another trip around the sun haha

[kentucky yeti]

Well, I live in Kentucky, and used to have a beard and long hair- especially long around Colorado camping trip time.  Someone said I looked like a Yeti in the mountains, and it stuck.  BTW- this picture was taken in 2004... long before Duck Dynasty was thought of.  So before it gets mentioned (again)- I did not copy Willie Robertson.  DD started in 2012.  If anything- he copied me   

I'm in the center, in case anyone had any doubt.

Wow, you look scary, even from here!

[RamblerRacer]

Here is the reason behind my screen name.
Been racing this one since the mid- 90s in some form or another.
T&T / Street Class / Pro Eliminator.
It is the most favorite thing I have.



Here is a video taken by my cousin yesterday.
He did take it holding my phone in the wide format mode, but please excuse the segment where the turf is featured.
This was a make-up / solo pass due to having a problem with the water pump in the qualifying time shot.
I knocked the wire for the water pump switch out of the fuse panel messing with troubleshooting a problem with the tail lights which you need running at night, so I had to miss taking a pass with everyone else.
The car ran a 11.237 on a 11.23 dial but I fouled due to the quick tree you sometimes get when you solo.
A routine pass may have netted some qualifying points, but alas.

You will have to click on the link.

The track is Island Dragway in Great Meadows, NJ.

Thanks

[Raven]

Used to play military flight sims back in the early days, Raven was my callsign and it stuck.

[nas t eh]

One day I was messing with ideas to put on a vanity plate for the 73.

Had ideas like

NASTY 73
NAS T 73

Never did get a special plate for the car but when it came time to join forums like this one, I figured why not try one of the ideas.

Since I’m Canadian it’s not a T/A it’s s a T/EH.

I use to share my name and family details in my profile, but a bunch of people in my company have lost their jobs from a post or video they made in social media. So all you get from me anymore is I live in Alberta Canada.

[darrylta]

I bought my 73 TA new in 73 and have moved it all around the country. It was my honeymoon car, we took it to Daytona Beach.
I also am a gun collector using the same handle. When my buddies ask me what the TA stands for, they always get a kick
out of that. When I bought it, I was really wanting the SD option, got talked out of it by the salesman and my father. I've been
collecting SD stuff all these years to finally clone the car with an SD engine, it's in the shop now.

In the last decade or so, so many really good Pontiac engine parts have become available, it didn't make since to do a correct resto. on it since
it's a non numbers car, it has given me the opportunity to use modern parts and save the real stuff for the pureist.
I am still going to use the correct 73 cast SD iron block and heads to keep the SD theme intact. I'm hoping it will become a legacy car passed down to my youngest
son, who also has my 3 grandsons. They call it a race car
I also own a numbers 74 SD car as well that I plan on getting back on the road soon as well.

This was my vanity plate although not to smartest if I got pulled over   iTllFLY.

[roadking77]

TAC was the first forum, social media, etc. that I ventured into. When I registered and was asked for a user name I was caught by surprise, I had no idea what a user name was. I thought it was mandatory to use something other than your real name so I had to come up with something on the fly, and something I presumably would not forget. I figured a combination of my 2 passions, my motorcycle is a Roadking, and my car is a 1977 model. Hence the user name. btw, Most of you already know but my real name is Kerry. I also use TAKerry on a couple of other sites.

[firebirdparts]

When Ebay was fairly new, I decided to sell some excess firebird parts on ebay.  This was in the 1990's.  It went so well I changed my ebay username to firebirdparts and that's that.

I was very interested to see RamblerRacer's Spirit.  You just never see those anywhere.

[ryeguy2006a]

My name's Ryan, and in HS people called me ryeguy. Graduated in 2006, and somewhere along the way ryeguy2006 was taken, so I did the logical thing and added an "a" haha. Started off using that name on AIM (AOL Instant Messanger) before I had a cell phone haha.

[tajoe]

I'm not very smart, or have an imagination.

We have the same nickname

[81Blackbird]

I was watching a documentary on the SR-71 Blackbird.  Well, you can guess the rest.

[Nexus]

Mine is a bit of a story!

Back in 1999, I was in college, and at that time I started getting into computer gaming. Siting in one of my classes, my professor was explaining something about the converging points (Taking Police Foundations, not sure how it was related) and called it a nexus. This was the first time I heard the word, and used it as my gaming name. Slowly, as time went on, there were more people using "Nexus" so if it is already taken, I will use "Nexus_wfo" which my late cousin suggested. Luckily for most of the car sites I'm registered too, I'm the only Nexus

[rkellerjr]

rkellerjr - had to think of something because the names I wanted to use were taken so...

Rich KELLER JR - rkellerjr

[gm muscle]
