Several people have told me "that's one cool '80 you have there", hence my idea. Afterall, aren't all Corvettes cool?

A name given to me by my fellow Marines. It's better than the rank and last name thing. Even my Gunnery SGT calls me "CC"

I can't spell.

I wanted one since I was a little kid and had a whole list of names picked out for it.

Went into the TAG office with my list of names and said "I don't suppose STINGRAY is available".

She laughed as in Floriduh you only get 7 letters.

So I asked for STNGRAY.

It was gone but STINGRY wasn't............

malum in se, is a latin phrase meaning "evil in itself." It is used in the legal field in reference to crimes that are inherently immoral, such as murder or arson. Mostly I thought it just sounded cool.

By incredible stroke of luck, this user name wasn't already taken. I had my name legally changed to match shortly thereafter.

Ironically, there's a local comedian that doesn't get the joke.

Dirt seems to be attracted to me like a magnet. My wife accepts it now that my son is turning out to be the same way.

If you know some basic French and look at my car, you can figure it out. Kind of a take-off on bete noir (black beast)... which it is

I'm the Vette owner formerly know as 1970 Stingray. I changed it to what my wife sometimes calls me! She hates me.

I had a choice between the nickname the guys called me in college and what the gals called me. The moderators said that I couldn't use the latter...
