Why did you pick your handle?
We all use a handle on the forum. I am The Wanderer. I am curious why you picked yours? As for me…. I have always loved the song. I love Dion and Eddie Rabbit's version.
I have pretty much lived the life of the lyrics of the song for the past 20 something years. I have used the handle on the CB, IRC, ICQ and CUSEEME. Why did you pick yours?

Re: Why did you pick your handle? (The Wanderer)
about 6 some years ago, when first getting in the web, the ISP asked about my 'handle'....like on CB radio....I just stared....and remembered the guy who sold me my first computer called himself MRGTO...after his car....
so being a vette person, having the '87 as I recall at the time....I said 'mrvette'.....and it's been that for a LONG time, finally added the 72 on the end for the car year recently, as the spam was getting silly ....300 emails in a day....so in 5 more years when spam gets bad, I'll change again....

When the forum started I had a silver 92 and was posting on the C4 board. Now I have a blue 69 BB. Bluevetteman just doesn't sound right so......Hehehe

Uh... I chose mine because. . . I'm not very creative! :lol:
Mike + Robinson = MIKER
I guess I could have chosen something like, "havevettelovetodrive" "myvetteisalwaysbroken" "idratherbeworkingonmyvette" . . .etc. :D
I also considered that I will always have a Vette but it may not be the '80 so I left the color and year out of it.
I registered in October of '99.

Bence is my last name, and the numbers 13 & 33 are two of my favorite numbers. I'm sorry it doesn't have a deeper meaning :)

Re: Why did you pick your handle? (The Wanderer)
12 years ago I seperated from my first wife, I went out and bought a BRAND new Silverado 4X4 and got a vanity plate that said GETLOST :D
Boy was she MAD :mad
I still have the plate GETLOST, but it's on my Dodge Cummins 4X4 !!!
