I love finding out reasons for forum names

Silver Surf

I have been into cars forever. I had a built 240 when drifting first came on the scene. Then I got out of that and built a Alpine silver supra which is known as Silver Surf.
I tend to name all my cars. The lifted land cruiser that I had in Daytona this year is called Big Black

Many moons ago I was getting into RX7s and was hunting down an LSD for a T2 swap. Registered on Rx7club.com as LimitedSlip7 and have been using it ever since. Damn RX7s. I would have a 30lb carbon footrocket with a 1400cc by now if it wasn't for that damn thing.

Someone asked how Jesse got his screen name "Waste Land". I thought it was from a Book, but ran across this. I leave everything in my path broken and waste more time and money on it.....its a curse.....it follows me everywhere....I can be doing things absolutely perfect...and it will find new ways to break.

My original handle was Boykid88. I got the nickname Boykid while working with a crew building power lines and sub stations. I was only 17 and they were all in their late 50's and 60's. One of our oldest guys could never remember my name, (Boyer), so he just called me the kid. They used to stop at a pub on the way home every night and one night he told the waitress to keep bringing rounds, the Boykid was gonna drive everyone home that night. It just stuck ever since. Boykid was taken the first time I used it as a handle so it became Boykid88.

Changed to IN2H2O after I got it on vanity plates for my truck and later to OCD Solutions when I started selling stuff and needed a brand. It just came to me one morning on my drive to work.

Before I moved to Oceanside and got into surf riding, I used to be heavily into Jet Ski racing. 227 was my race number. BTW Isn't there another thread like this floating around?

Nah, once you have a name for as long as you have, that is your name, identity.............. Many times I have thought about dropping BK and going with just my name, but to many people call me BK, etc etc........ You would not be the same!

I've always been into cars, and pre-ski, I would do what the Buzzard does, or those guys on Fast and Loud do.

I'd buy up things that were a smoking deal, and I knew I could sell for a little profit. I got 'busted' selling some parts to a friend that I bought from a mutual friend for much less money, and he said "Oh, you're gonna swapmeet me huh?" I still get accused of it even when I don't do it lol...

Ever since i've used that handle on every forum i've been on, best part is that typically its not being used.

I hate picking a name that refers to something i'm into at the moment, because that always changes... i.e. sportfish and xjcrawler...

Ever since i was a kid i have always been into building totaly overkill, over powered, sometimes useless crazy stuff , from rc cars to bikes,motorcycles,cars,boats,flame cannons,guns,pneumatic cannons, skis,quads etc etc, it progressed into owning my own business doing custom fab,turbo systems, and all that goes along with it.
i usually end up building some off the wall,wacky one off creations for people. some of them called it madness.. ended up being used as a screen name.
