I used to be on CherokeeForum. My XJ was bastardized, an 89 with a 93 block, 90 intake, 98 exhaust, ZJ rear brakes and a Ford 8.8 rear axle. My name on there was BstrdXJ.

So, BstrdC4 since I own a C4 now.

Mine was conjured up when I was on a sport bike forum. I had a yellow GSXR. I just use the same name for all forums, video games, etc.

Oh....never gave it much thought. But, after nearly 41 years in the same occupation I thought it was a fitting name.

Mine is a nickname from my police officer days back in the early 80's.

My 84 and my 92 Vettes have a lot of sentimental value, and I will never sell them unless it is a family emergency.
My mom traded her 1985 Cadillac for my 84 back in 1988, and I met my wife in my 92, so the name comes from them.

C4orce2 is the name of my car. When the LS3 Hot Cam was planned to be installed, Kim Madsen, the builder, talked to his best friend Alan Colvin who at that time was the editor of Corvette Fever. Corvette Fever had started Project C4orce a couple of years ago and Kim and Alan agreed that my car would be the 2nd car in that project. Alan was going to do an article on my build and put it in Corvette Fever, and Kim was going to take my car and C4orce1 to SEMA and other national shows. However, before the build was complete Corvette Fever went out of publication and before Kim and Alan could take it to any shows Kim died of cancer. I decided to keep the name "C4orce2" since that was the original plan. I use the same name for my id here and on ACE (AZ forum).

Reg # for a 1968 Cessna Skylane that my father and I picked up at the Cessna factory in April of 68 and it back to Wisconsin.. I chose it because it is the only number like that in the world.

I've always liked the pirate mystique. My racing sail boat was a J24 (like a corvette in small sail boat class) with the name "Jolly Roger" on both sides in big red letters and it had a skull and cross bones on the stern of the black hull. We liked to show that to our competitors. So it's skullandbones.

WEK.

My first 2 seater was not of the plastic type, circa 1982. It was a 1968 AMX 390, 4 sped, go pac etc. Lovingly restored, I owned it over 20 years. Over time, having sellers remorse I was missing the fun of a 2 seater. I would not pay 25 to 30 grand for another nice AMX. I Bought my 40kmi '94 coupe last year. The 990 is a top trim level in the 60's era AMC sedans. The Corvette "ROCKS". It runs rings around any pony car.
