It's my CB handle and nick name from rockcrawling in my Jeep . . . my wife and kid tagged me with it because I was always telling them we'll make the next obstacle in front of us with no problems . . . so Hakuna Matada! We didn't make them all successfully so they accused me of lying.

In The Lion King movies, "Hakuna Matada" meant "no worries for the rest of your days" . . . . and my daughter was at an age then when she had all of The Lion King releases so they associated/mutated the deal and I became "The Lyin' King".

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!!!!
double score!!!

more star wars fans on TMS. slowly but surely, our numbers are growing

in an effort to be nerdy here, have you read many of the novels? and favorites you'd like to mention? lol star wars fans are far and few between, at least it seems that way to me, so i must ask.

big NJO and X-wing series fan here

Mine (Lennyb) comes from the ID I used on arcade games top 10 scorers lists. (remember arcades? ) I wanted to use the same name for my online activities, but discovered that Lennyb was almost always already used, so I would stick my age on the end of the handle. Kind of a play on words (Lenny be 35, 36, etc...) A few years back, I decided that 44 was old enough . So now I'm Lennyb44 everywhere I go.

I got my username from the anime series Macross Plus. In the story, the airspace around New Edwards Air Force Base is known as Area Seven.

Mine is from a concept I had for a drawing I was gonna do and never did: A couple having dinner in a posh restaurant and the man is on fire and no one including the girl seems to notice or care.
Hence Burningman (came up with it long before i ever heard of the festival)

SPD RCR = Speed Racer

I grew up rushing home from school to watch Speed and the Mach 5 every day. I finally got SPD RCR three years ago as my personalized plates. It was "suggested" I wait for DMV confirmation before offically moving the plates from my now retired MX5 to my 'stang. The dealer said the paperwork should be done by Wednesday

Mine came from playing basketball in high school. I tripped up one time and slid across the court on my knees. My friends said it made a skitching sound. Been skitch ever since.

Explains my ride - 2006 Triple Black Convertible GT (body color, interior color, roof color). Just always liked the term "triple black", sounds cool.

The new Ford GT is my favorite exotic, and is tied with the Mustang as my all-time favorite production car that Ford has ever made. It goes with my facination of the original GT40. With the new GT, this is a car, that I never thought, in a million years, after seeing the concept, that Ford would ever think to build it. Once I heard that they greenlighted the car, I was so excited! My excitement level went even higher, when in April of 2004, I read a letter fron Bill Ford, that my small dealership I work at, would be getting one of these magnificent cars. I went into excitement overload, when the car arrived, and I got to drive it for an extended period of time. WHAT A CAR!!! That is why I use 05FordGT.

I figured my user name would have "layers of meaning"(?). #1) I come from Hawaii and had a 5.0LX (also the 50th State)
#2) The TV show
#3) I bought the car used - and I found out it was previously owned by a sheriff, (yeah I know, not the same as police...) it still had a small sticker on the lower driver's side windshield and the place where the stereo is located was all cut up - supposedly to get the radio/receiver to fit. The stereo that was put in there afterward wasn't exactly mounted securely. Unfortunately, the car was not an SSP model.
