OK, we've got a great thread going to put a face to a name - there are some pretty cool names BTW.
So how did your Nickname or User name come to be?
I'll kick things off with my own Nickname which carried over to the farm I bought 15 years ago.
Fordy was given to me by the late great Gray Baskerville, who's own nickname was "Yer 'Ol Dad". Gray was on a 'ride along' during a leg of the Hot Rod Power Tour and wrote a couple of words in the magazine about my cars and the jouney to get to the Tour or "Make the Scene" as he put it.
"Ol' Dad was awesome and had quite the lingo - anyone who read a Hot Rod Magazine story of his always looked forward to the next one because of his signature style and wit! He sure is missed in the Hot Rod world as we know it!
OK, what's you story?

My father owned a service station when I was growing up, I pumped a lot of gas. I also drove the gas guzzlers, when I was in High School, aside from the performance cars. The days when most people were buying K-cars, Horizons, Citations, Chevettes, Tempos and Fiestas, I'd drive a Buick Wildcat, or a Marquis or...400ci or so, were the cheapest cars to buy.
I was called a Gas-o-olic by my friends, or Gaz-o-olic (for the Frenchies), as they all had to pitch in gas money, to go anywhere.
My user/nickname is an abbreviation of this.

Use to have long hair and walked into Choc and Johns Body shop with a peak cap on , took it of and no hair and Choc said what a homer of which I did not like and it has stuck since then
Nothing exciting about my user name. My first car was a 51 Chev Coupe back in 57 and my car now is a 51 styline which i,ve had since 19 75. Boring but it,s my baby.
Mine came from playing poker...my favorite starting hand is TWO JACKS (aka Fish Hooks). It caught on after a while, which turned into a definitive nickname and has been since 2008.
My dad gave me mine. When I was a kid and didn't get enough sleep I would be grumpy and a general pain in his a55. The name stuck and everyone called me that, I can't remember the last time friends and family actually used my real name.
..77. year of the most favourite car I ever owned , and also last two numbers of a number given to me during a short , tedious , but highly undeserved stay at one of our local institutions . IMFI bi tches . ha ha ..77.

My Son hung that nickname on me when he was around 12 or so. I was doing some body mods on one of my cars when he walked in the shop and just blurted it out. Name has stuck along with some others. Bigdaddy hemi is another one of his favorites...the rest you don't want to know..lol

CRS...That's what I suffer from at times. In my case it stands for Can't Remember Sh*t. As to my name.....it's my name.
Some old friends call me little jim because when we all rode together there was 5 jims and I was the smallest ,,badest irishman in the bunch,,now my kids and grandkids call me pan because I still have one..
Back in the late 70's the hot motor to order in a new Trans Am was the T/A 6.6 400. I pulled my 400 out and put a 455 bored .030 over giving it now 462 cubic inches. That's how I came up with TA462.
