MI is obvious for the Great Lake State. I wanted to get MIXFIRE on my license plate but It wasn't available. I ended up settling for 1XFIRE and combined the two.

I bought my wife a srt 8 about a year ago then about 4 months later a friend offered up a '70 cuda that I had been trying to buy for about 6 years. About a month ago I got my srt 6. Before this I was a die hard chevy guy. Now I have more mopar's than chevys.

One hit and I was hooked.

I think mines self explanatory as well. Although the "buggy4" part started when I bought my 2000 New Beetle Turbo and used it with "cars" for my screen name.

hmm, "pentastar" is related top the older chrysler emblem and many cars (just think of the gorgeous muscle cars!) are or were some kind of "road rockets".

but I have to admit that I have seen a T-shirt with a `69 dodge charger and that name on it and I simply liked it. that is it.

another nice nick could be "kreisler krossfire".

chxf = CH is the 2-letter code for Switzerland. And XF ... hard to explain ... most exceptional design with proofed German engineering.

My last name is Fink so when my wife registered on ebay her name was Iamfink so later when I registered on ebay my name was Iamfink2 or Iamfink - also. Just kept the same name for the forum.

My two favorite cars (that I've owned), and (IMO) the Crossfires 36 year old equivalent... https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ead.php?t=9100

Many years ago when e-bay was young they used to put a sunglasses graphic next to the user names of all the newbies. They looked like a pair of old Ray Bans I had found adrift in a parking lot during a long road trip with my two sons. Seemed like a cool user name at the time. Still have the old sunglasses and the old name.

Smokey = cat's name 847 = old address I know. It's a great combination.

That already makes three of us who use cats' names, but no dogs or horses or other pets. Very interesting. Maybe the Crossfire is actually feline...

Now that's funny because my cat's name is MAX, and if you rearrange the letters you get...well you know.

Ausfire = Australian based Crossfire. Didn't use up too many brain cells to come up with the name.

Mines pretty simple, too... although now it shows my age...

Sharona is my nickname (yeah, tied to the song My Sharona by the Kinks), L and N are the first letters of my middle and last name and '67, well, you figure that one out...

if there wasn't any of the names, pictures, or postbit age, then no one would think you're 39 by the pics in the gallery.

I like the finer things in life, Wine would be one and so would a Crossfire. I however never mix the two!

I also need to learn how to spell Somoma!
