buckmeister2....first time I went deer hunting, I got two bucks with one shot. Long time ago, but "buckmeister" always stuck with me. My apologies to any PETA members on the board...hahaha.

Pretty self explanatory. A black 92' was my first vette when I joined. I have upgraded to an 08 and haven't changed names.

When I got my first Vette, in my forties, my daughter laughed and said I was having a mid-life crisis. Right about the time I got my second one, I started posting on a skydiving forum to connect with a bunch of old jumping buddies, so when I had to create a username it was "oldwomanc6" (used ironically).

I started posting here, and shortened it to what I should have used in the first place. I've considered changing it on the skydiving forum to owc6, but they have no provision for that short of starting a new account. They all refer to me as owc6, anyway, so I never have changed it.

Mine because when I go into the garage I "see" my C5 vert and I "see" my C6 coupe. Corny but I thought it was original at the time.

GR86SS = Great Se... Just kidding.

I have a 1986 Monte Carlo Super Sport. It was dubbed the Grim Reaper about 20 years ago, so my user name is GR86SS = Grim Reaper 86 Super Sport

I spend a lot of time riding in the desert and have 4 quads. The name is a carry over from the Yamaha Raptor forum.
