Seems a bit strange to post this, but:
First name - Daniel
Middle initial - L.
Last Name - Diaz
Hence, 'dldiaz'

Well mine is a referance to MetallicA. I've been a big MetallicA fan since I was 11. When the Garage Inc CD came out in 98' there was this picture on the back of the CD insert:
- metallicats.gif (50.14 KiB) Viewed 1158 times
- metallicats.gif (50.14 KiB) Viewed 1158 times
So I Change my AOL screen name (which had nothing to do with MetallicA) and the 33 was added at the end because "Metallicats" was taken

Skunk Works is an official alias for Lockheed Martin's Advanced Development Programs (a.k.a stealth planes)
"The designation "skunk works", or "skunkworks", is widely used in business, engineering, and technical fields to describe a group within an organization given a high degree of autonomy and unhampered by bureaucracy, tasked with working on advanced or secret projects."

Name came from my work group in systems and programming which was assigned (a01) then consisted of the 1st 3 characters of your last name and the 1st 2 characters of your 1st name = a01-but-al. I started using this in the early 90's and just couldn't think of anything more appropriate.

Mine came from a bad a$$ '90 Mustang I had BITD. It was well modded and ate plenty of vettes, vipers, slomaros, etc. I still wish i had it to show the young kids with their tubro 4 bangers what a real car and speed is!
Probably a good thing I dont still have it! Id probably be dead by now.

Everybody calls me MIkey, but that was a pretty plain screen name. My dad always calls me boy.
So there you have it.

I was into Jeeps for several years, and owned a few different ones, TJ, CJ, XJ.
The name started back in 99 and has stuck ever since. I have had thoughts about going with Seabass but I would have to change my names everywhere.
