OK...I'll be the first to ask:

How do you get a Rebel Yell out of Wanted 33? Are we talking about User Names on this forum or personalized plates on our Vettes?

My Dad who passed away at the ripe old age of 95 several years ago always called me Granitehead, I think he was trying to tell me something ?? I was born in 1953 thus Granitehead53

From my license plate. It's my initials + Vett, wanted a plate that could go to my next vette without any issues.

Had a C4 when I joined--the thing shook like crazy with the top out.--Hence Itshakes.

The C6 is rock solid!

Easy to figure out -- used to be known as C5 Snowboarder but a month ago aquired a C6 GS --- so had to update the name.

Ride a fast Alpine snowboard with hardboots - most of the time, it reminds me of driving my Corvette - put it on edge and carve a deep line when you turn.

Last name Nowakowski, and I have a PhD, hence Dr No as some of my students call me. I am also a James Bond fan, and Dr. No was the first Bond movie in 1962. My license plate is Professor's Corvette - PROFSVET.

I really miss Calvin and Hobbes....anyway...

Mine, I change by Corvette. This one was easy: "AO" for Atomic Orange which is the color of my car. And, "roads" has a double meaning: it's a convertible and they used to be called a "roadster." Plus, this one will travel down all "roads." So, this is my Atomic Orange roadster for all roads.

My previous handle was "LT4CompYell" which stood for an LT4-engined, Competition Yellow coupe, and that was a one-year only engine for the last of the C4s.

It's a great life to be able to select a handle that lets you identify something the way you want it to be. Here's to the Calvin in all of us. And the hope that Hobbes will save us from ourselves.

Good catch Racer, I didn't even pay attention to what I was typing. Yeah that's my big old dumb head in the wrong place. Wanted33 is my user name on my Police forum, and a few other forums. Duh

Rebel Yell is in memory of my Great Grandfather that was in Co. I 37th Reg. of the North Carolina Confederate Army.
