I've been internet-active from before my Vette days, mostly computer stuff back then. I used to be RUXperienced on this forum, a fairly plain Hendrix reference. I don't remember when, but I was looking for a new username once, must've had McCartney or GnR on the mind, but out came Live and Let DrIvE.

Well, I was "Daves_rusty_75" for a time.

The rust blows away and the year changes, so I chose a more
generic name. Live Free or Die. However, I was born and raised a Massole.

I don't post much, but the name I chose a few years ago was still available which suprised me. Easy to figure out meaning.

Well, mine's pretty easy too. Although maybe I should have added the 68 & 88 together and been Todd156...

Got the 76 vette. Was going to get personallized plates for this two seater TWOS CO. My 442's plate (442MUCH). My wife was telling her friend that "Ken has been drooling over them for about 6 months." I said, "Actually I've been having vette dreams about them. VETDREAM was not available for Alberta but VTTEDRM was. Not original, but funny, especially to non vette people.

I'm not from VermonT, my names not TED and it has nothing to do with my RooM.

Well, the '99 part is from my 1999 FRC. (I've been lurking in this forum since I just recently got a '68 roadster in need of some TLC) The feather part of the name came from something my father used to say when we saw a 'Vette pass by: "If I had that car and he had a feather we'd both be tickled pink!". Later on we just shortened it to "Hey look! A feather!".

Budman78

Nickname - Buddy

Always been called Budman from Junior High. I've still got grown men calling me that in conference calls and meetings. I guess it just a friendly name. Oh yea, I own a 78.
