ok so you no me as treehugger and as you might think i like to be green and do the right thing for the environment and all that, which is correct but the name came from when i first got my license to drive and like all kids couldn't keep my right foot of the floor and yes you got it rapped more than one car around a tree i think off all the silly (dangerous) things i did im glad to be here

treehugger

had my nickname for ages. well before i discovered the internet.
my uncle used to get drunk and just call everything hoopty this and hoopty that, at the time i had a junk yard rescued 4door 71 lemans with a super built 455 in it, he called it a bad hoopty, and that was that.

Mine's just a reference to this car which is now Black.

Mine was from my military days it was my callsign in THE FIRST GULF WAR.Its on my helmet soon to be airbrushed on my 1100custom honda shadow too lol.Don

back in 92 i started a car club "low class car club" for those people that mommy didn't buy everything for. we were diyers and worked together helping each other fix up our cars. since our cars were lowered and we couldn't afford to have the work done i had came up with the club name.

times have changed and i have closed up the club in 2005, but i still continue to work on cars and may one day get back into the street show scene. the club has been such a huge part of my life it is what i was known for. it will be a part of me always. thus i still use the name today.

I'm not exactly sure why I chose mine, and don't necessarily love it. I'm really bad at coming up with unique usernames, and have been using it on R/C boards for over a decade now so its kind of stuck.

I think it had/has to do with my interest in monster trucks, off-roading, pulling, drag racing etc... The common connection between them is how they all use low gearing.

My screen name is taken from a tshirt.

When I signed up for an AOL account(Late 90's) I was having trouble finding a screen name. My girlfriend(wife now) and I started looking around the room for some ideas and found a floppy disk with the name SonicWagon. I removed wagon and added Cj7 in reference to my Jeep model. Not sure when I started using soniccj5, but it is also a reference to a Jeep model.

When I started on eBay I was civildrafter, a 9-to-5 civil engineering stiff. Since I started my own business 7 years ago, I'm more of a jack-of-all-trades, general design guy, but still mainly do civil work... so civilguy.
I am not polite.... well, most of the time I am... but not why I have the name.

I am a Chief Boatswain's Mate in the USCG. I'm retiring this year. I feel pretty toasted from my 20 years....

The name BORMAC came from my old r/c off road club from the 80's which I enjoyed so much. Sadly the club dissappeared over a period through the late 90's and was long forgotten by most.
When I was prompted to enter a user name on an R/C forum years ago I thought it would make a fitting tribute and now its stuck.

Mine's easy... my favorite corner on my favorite race track in the world.

Railey720. Has been my favorite wakeboarding trick for a long time. A railey is like a superman trick where you hold onto the rope with both hands and throw your legs behind your head. Looks like your flying. The 720 is just putting 2 rotations into the trick. Somewhere along the road I shortened it to railey72.
