Hmmm.......What is YOUR story with your username?????

[XS TORQ]

My name is my handle.

My dad is Military and both my mom and dad wanted me to grow up to be a great leader, so they named me Ulysses Grant...........Instead I wound up becoming a hard drinking, cigar smoking womanizer!

In my eyes, that IS a great leader! Leading by example!

 

[Mr U-2]

I'm a former U-2 pilot. Did it a long time...this is one of the nick names I was given by brother U-2 drivers. My wife brought me a vanity plate after Gulf War 1 with "MR U-2" for my then new MR-2 Turbo..name stuck.

[Andrew/USPWR]

I bought my Viper in June of 2003 when we went into Iraq to clean the place up.

I'm proud to be an American and proud of this car Americans built.


I have the blue Florida challenger space shuttle plate, with USPWR

Cudaman-- great question- thanks for bringing this up! John

 

[MAMBA]

When I bought my 95 Black Viper in July, the guy I bought it from in Vermont had "MAMBA" on the license plate. I love the name because the car reminds me of the black mamba snake. Black and deadly!! I tried to get the same plate in Florida put the name was already taken and I was so certain that it would be available (why I don't know) that I hadn't thought of any back ups. Long story short after spewing out several other combinations that were already taken I ended up with "VIPR1" for the plate. Not very original but it'll work.

 

[safireviper]

I was planning on buying a 2001 Sapphire ACR when I took this name but I ended up instead with a 2002 Graphite ACR and I haven't changed it to reflect my actual car.

my story is that if my car was running it pullshard in any gear.

Cudaman

Yeah....there she is.
Thanks for posting the pic....I have no idea how to do that.
Fast as a Viper in the 1/4 mile.....well...at least a stock Viper!
If you ever leave that Hurricane prone state of Florida and head north during the winter..be sure to look me up.
I got a few of these winter toys....you would love it.
Helps to pass the time when you can't drive the Viper up here

Here is another pic I just uploaded from on my way out here. I took this one right after my wingman refueled airborne. This one gives a little better view.

Mine is fairly simple FLOORIN04.
FLOORIN-I do floor covering for a occupation/and also have a heavy foot
04-is the year viper i bought

 

[vette2viper]

Frank...thanks for the great pics. The pic of your wingman really shows the difference between Prowler and Intruder. I didn't realize the cockpit was that much larger. I still think the movie "Flight of the Intruder" would show people a good deal about the plane and the mission (taking some of the "hollywoodism" lightly)...lots of flying action in it. I talked with you by email sometime back about a high school friend of mine that was a Marine A6 pilot during Nam and had a reunion party at Cherry Point a year ago.

Thanks to you and yours for the great job being done. Be safe and as some commercials say..."don't try this at home (in this case, the 0-150 in 2.5 sec)!!!

BluePilot...please don't try that with your Airbus...it plays hell with the drink carts!!!

Also to Cudaman...great post. Lots of interesting responses.

 

[ceieio]

Did two hitches as a "C" level (CEO, CFO, CIO, CTO...) executive in two different $1B high tech companies. People took themselves (and my retched title) too seriously... so I had the sign on my office changed to CEIEIO (my own version of old McDonalds funny farm and C level titles). I thought it looked even better in lower case.

 

[syclone1157]

I own the 1,157th example of a gmc syclone. 0-60 in 4.5 in the rain. Only 2,998 made.

 

[EA6BPilot]

Cudaman - I am the dude on the right. As a pilot, I sit in the left front seat of the jet. The guy next to me operates the navigation and communication systems. The 2 Marines in the back operate the jamming systems. She isn't a pretty jet, but she'll get up and move and gets the job done.

vette2viper - Yes, the Prowler is much bigger.....about 6 feet longer. She's a pain in the butt to land on a carrier (I'll probably never do it again, but it was a BLAST!) And Flight of the Intruder was a fun, albeit cheesy hollywood, type movie that gives an insight to what life on a carrier is like.

Thanks for the support! I'm glad to see that the Viper community overall is a class act.

[Torquemonster]

ab - Bwahahaha! that was funny - but I'm sure not true


Torque-monster - name says it all. My first major engine combo had a brief to take a 3000lb car and launch it from 0-200+mph in under 7 seconds, and within a 1/4 mile. That meant a dragster engine was not going to cut it - so we went for monster torque. It was a great team effort - I did the combo on paper, ordered the parts and had custom stuff made, worked out the blue print specs etc, and the car owner (who had never built an engine) and his backyard chief wrench put it all together and worked with a local machine shop that had never seen an engine like that before.... we all learned heaps and it was fun...

Car went out and did everything it was supposed to once we got a good tune in it (thanks Sean Hyland), and the name stuck in my head.

 

[2001 Sapphire Blue]

OK....so I don't have the most original username!!!

 

[Y2K5SRT]

OK....so I don't have the most original username!!!

Hey, only mine is worse. Adopted the "Y2K" handle of the impending disaster of the same back in 1999 when I ordered my 2000 GTS, thus Y2KGTS was born. I didn't want to stray too far when I bought my 2003 SRT, thus Y2K3SRT. And the current moniker? Well, you know...

 

[Joseph Houss]

My name is Joseph.... and I live in a Houss

My name is Matt, and I live in Houston.
Once day folks just started calling me "Matt Houston."
I guess they remember the old t-v show.

 

[ChicagoGTS]

One day after lunch when we were out in my GTS, and I belched in my wifes face she then complained about how bad my breath gets when I eat onions and as we all know:

The name Chicago was first recorded in 1688 in a French document, where it appears as Chigagou, an Algonquian word meaning “onion field.” In explanation of this name, the document states there that wild onion or garlic grew profusely in the area. The name of the field or meadow was first transferred to the river and then was given to the city in 1830.

Just Kidding... I chose "ChicagoGTS" because sometimes it feels like I'm the only GTS around the Chicago area. I never see them in traffic here. That's one of the things I like most about it. Of course going 0-60 at warp speed isn't bad either.

~Matt~

 

[hemibeep]

As others have stated, I am a serious MOPAR only type of guy. If the car doesn't have a pentastar stamped on the muffler it doesn't park in the driveway. The "Hemibeep" has just stuck since I have had two 69 Hemi roadrunners since 91' and the name just stuck........would anyone on this board be offended if I added a purple "beep-beep" horn to the viper? ? ?

 

[Doc.]

Good post! My original username was Amantoby. It was a combination of my daughter's(Amanda) and my wife's (Toby) names. Two years after my divorce I no longer liked the name. I'm an Emergency Medicine doctor and all of my friends call me "Doc". So now my handle is Doc.

 

[Andy 98 RT/10]

Mine's so complicated I'm sure no one could guess.

 

[kowalski vanishing point]

"Vanishing Point" is the best damn Mopar movie ever.
Kowalski was the best damn Mopar driver in any movie ever.

It is my favorite movie ever.
Every time I see a cop, for just the tiniest fraction of a second, I think about Kowalski driving that Challenger and think maybe, just maybe, I should peel out and take off.

And on bad days I think about the end of the movie and I smile.
