There's a lot of names like "Bob Smith" and "79Vette" which don't need much decoding.

I say we really need to hear from members like " gearheaddroppings" and "missprissybrat"

I'm in the industrial refrigeration industry and work at a lot of ice plants, when I pull up to the job site I hear hey the ice man is here, and I was born in 1959 hence ICEMAN59 because most places iceman is already taken! In hind sight I should have registered ICEMAN80 as I own an 80 coupe.

Mine came from my older sister. Its her nickname for me, well actually she calls me Miss Prissy Bi**h, but I cleaned it up a little and made it brat. Just a little silbing rivalry. Instead of letting her think it made me mad, I have it on everything I own now.

Contrail-Condensation Trail

Call sign on one of the combat flight-sim Ladder competition sites, I was a virtual pilot for a while, did a lot of head to head dogfighting online, and I still use the name. I would like to change it, though. Doesn't really fit on this forum, does it...

My dad bought the car not long after the '89 Batman movie, and with the Dark Grey Fern Metallic (I think) paint job, he decided it looked like the Batmobile - hence the license plate "IM BTMN". I've never bothered to change the registration...although I thought about it after some idiots pulled up next to me on the highway and asked if I was Bruce Wayne - while I was on a date... It looked better when Missouri's personalized plates were black with gold lettering, though.

My name is a reference to another subject which I have great fondness of - firearms. I've maintained a concealed carry permit for many years.

Really? If you don't mind me asking, why would you need to carry a concealed weapon?
