well my name is dave and all my friends were saying 'dave bought another black stang' when i kept on saying 'i will never buy black again. '
Apparently, this makes me the guy with the longest name ever on a mustang forum. The real kicker is what to call myself monday when my car gets here!
maybe ....Dave didn't buy another black stang he bought a silver stallion
hmmmmm

That's from "Speed Racer," a Japanese cartoon about a race car driver. Racer X is Speed Racer's brother, but Speed doesn't know it. That was one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid. Now I'm showing my age (no secret)! Great show. Remember it well. Now available on DVD!

nynvolt came about because I have always been interested in electronics and liked to tinker with things. Like modifying my stomper 4x4's adding bigger tires, LED's and making room for the most important ingrediant, A 9 volt battery. They would haul booty and climb anything. I'd scavenge old radios or any other electronic junk and make all kinds of goofy things, usually powered by 9 volts.

I told a friend of mine one time how I used to always modify little cars with 9 volts and the other junk I made when I was a kid. When he bought a CB radio he gave me that handle because I couldn't think of anything for myself.

I started using it as my internet name way back when I played quake online and other online video games. Just kind of stuck.

The reason I spell it the way I do was I think it looks more clever than ninevolt or 9-volt.

I was in a hurry to put up a post, and although I wanted something to do with cars, I decided to settle for something that was at least relevant to me.

I used to play football for the University of Akron and our nickname was the Zips, and my jersey number for every year I ever played football (from 5th grade thru college) was 34.

Although I might change my username to something that involves cars if I can ever think of anything good. :bang:

Well I served in the Army before and I am now in the Air Force. I always wanted my father's 65 fastback but he sold it 3 years before I had my license, so years later I went and bought my current '99 vert and have been waiting patiently for the 05 since I was first told about this website by Scothew.

I had a different login but forgot the password so I just made another one, Milstang.

We live on 1100 acres in central Alabama. Use tractors w/bush hogs and large commercial mowers to cut the grass and maintain the land. My mother-in-law started calling me farmer john and it stuck.

I chose mine because I'm a Star Wars fan. I have liked stormtroopers since I first saw them on screen. Even though they wouldn't be able to hit a 10 foot target, with their E-11 blaster, I still think they are the coolest. BTW, Yes I do own Stormtroooper armor.
Yea! I'm not the only Star Wars nerd!!!

Rogue comes from Rogue Squadron, which for a time was the X-Wing Squadron Luke Skywalker was a part of (in the books, not the movies). Rogue didn't sound right by itself, so I added the 6 because my 05 is a V6.

Have you guys and gals seen the trailer for Episode III :jedi:

PS...I got pulled this week! My car is set for build next week!!!!
The trailor for episode III is awsome, another huge SW fan too, name on other forums SW related is marajade_skywalker, can't wait til May 19.

my dad moved here from pakistan. Sikander is the equivalent of Alexander in his native language, and if you haven't noticed, Alexander is my name.

Besides, its more or less unique and confuses the fudge out of people

And I get called Sik (pronounced 'sick') for short, which i dont mind at all

Mine's the year I graduated high school (1997) and er...my first name. The 0 is there because it's also the first screen name I had on AOL way back when, and Steve1997 was already taken.

Sonic from Sonic Blue -- the color I am getting -- and 05 from 2005. REALLY COMPLICATED STUFF! Sorry, I'm just not that creative when it comes to names.

Peter Pienaar was a character in John Buchan's novels. He was a great Boer hunter and woodsman, and an ace pilot in the RAF during WWI. Pienaar is one of the fictional characters I admire most, so naturally I chose it for my handle. (I highly recommend the Buchan novels if you're looking for some high quality, WWI-era spy stories.)

Oh, and my avatar is, obviously, the great Braves pitcher Warren Spahn. He had the most unique windup.
