I'm an IT tech as well. However, I used to be a mechanic in high school and college. My username is my first name - Mikel. 441 is for Chevy 441 cylinder heads. The very first pair of heads I ported to use in my old Camaro. They flowed very well when I was done.

Larry is my first name, 551 was my trade code in the Royal Canadian Air Force (aircraft instrument/electrical technician).

That's a lot cooler than with the USAF. My user name would be Dan_3P071B.

Mine ought to be pretty self explanatory.....The car is one killer SS....I wanted to use the SS and I always thought the Camaro was a killer car. Sorry the story is not very cool.

See, there's this little downstairs bar on Beacon Street in Boston I'd been in once or twice, a few years before they made a TV show about a watering hole in Boston where one of the regular characters sat at the corner of the bar . . .

So I guess you could say I've been borrowing my own name back.

OK honesty time.

I had to take 'Chris Blair'. Somebody had already taken "Norm Peterson".

Steve Dallas · 09-13-2016, 10:56 PM

Steve Dallas is a pseudonym I've used since the days of BBS's and 300 baud modems.

The name is based on a character in a comic strip that I've loved since the early 80's. Bloom County & Outland were comic strips written by Berke Breathed. He hadn't been doing any strips until this last year when he started doing it again on Facebook.

Here's a link to his page.

And, here is one showing who Steve Dallas is:

Norm...you would be SOOOOOOOO CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!! I feel that Dead Heads are unfairly stereotyped and even stopped ...A LOT. So this is my subtle tribute. I mean really you wouldn't know what my plates mean UNLESS you know who Bob Weir is and his GD connection.

I always love reading how people came up with their screen names. Like the modifications people do to their car everything is unique and personal.

For me there are 2 Jeff's where I work. The other Jeff at the time was in the IT department and I was in the music department and play in a band so to differentiate there was IT Jeff and Rock n Roll Jeff. To be as cool as possible I changed the ff to ph because rock n roll and rebellion and all of that. Well my drummer thinks it's funny to call me Jephanie now and wrote that over some of my gear.... I didn't mind.

I was enjoying a bottle of Molson Brador beer when I created my account. Very mysterious.
