Ok lets have the story behind your screen name..is it a car?? is it a personality???
I'll go first...
No mine has nothing to do with the festival..as a matter of fact i wasn't even aware of that festival when i came up with it.
The screen name came from an Idea I had for a drawing i never did. It was a couple in a posh resturant enjoying dinner and the man is engulfed in flames and no one is noticing. As if this happens all the time.
Hence the burningman.
I made a logo and it has now become my moniker. I even have a tattoo of it. I've had people recongnize me from the tattoo and ask if i was Burningman or just a fan hehehe.

...Some imagination there 
Do you ever plan on drawing it? That would be cool.
(BTW: Any pics of the tat?)
For me, when I was a member for AOL I needed a screenname and typed "Horsepower" (no mystery as to where that came from...) and someone already had it (big surprise) and it gave a list of "recommended screennames". Horsepower844182 happened to be one of them and I thought the numbers kinda went together.

I have followed Formula 1 racing ever since Jacques Villeneuve started in 96 and have tried to use f1 in my screen names. The cobra part is because I am trying to hold out for an 06 Mustang Cobra.

When I first got into mustangs I read every book and magazine I could on them. I was at a car show when someone asked me a question about 67 or 68 fastback, which I don't remember exactly, but after I rattled off the answer to their question, they said, "wow, you're like Mr. Mustang when comes to knowing stats". So it stuck. Its also on my license plate....yeah, I know I'm a little :crazy:

I had a 01' Dyna superglide Harley. It has the twincam 88 motor and the official Harley name for this model is FXD. So I used that as my email address and it kinda stuck. #$*@ I miss that bike......

An ex-girlfriend had an AIM screen name that meant "Dove of Love" in French. Finding this utterly repugnant, I picked the verbal opposite of the flowery nature of "dove of love," and in a better language. Thus "Puke Boy," or "Kotzenjunge" in German, was born.

Mine's boring. 
I drive a True Blue Mustang Convertible, but TrueBlueMustangConvertible is too long. BlueStangVert is easier. My name on StangNet is Bama GT because I have lived my entire life in the state and went to the University of Alabama ('Bama for short) and I drive a Mustang GT.

I have always loved Capri's. I think they look a little meaner than 'stangs, and I have always wanted to build a bad-azz evil Capri . . hence the name.
Nothing really exciting.

Mine is kind of obvious... Marty is my first name and I drive Mustangs. I first received the nickname back in high school, oh so many years ago. I orginally had a '68 and then bought a '79, thereby having a two Mustangs at once. Guys in, my Auto Shop class started calling me Mustang Marty... 5 more Mustangs later proves the name fits. B)

Back in highschool I ran track and was pretty good(3-time All-State in the 800m). But I'm also a very easygoing guy and like to slack off from time to time. I've also been slacking in training since I got to college. and the 'c' is missing b/c "trackslacker" was already taken on AIM.

Red Star is name of my favorite soccer team (well, since name Red Star exist in all sports, it's my favorite sport team). In my language its Crvena Zvezda. Stella Rossa is Red Star in Italian. Why Italian? In 1991 in Bari, Italy, Red Star won the UEFA Champions League and became the best soccer team in the world.

I also used to have user name Tomass. Tomas is first 5 letters of my last name (in English it would be Thomas).
I also used to have user name Krayishnik, which is resident of Krayina, which was part of Croatia where I grew up.
