What's in a name?

[OdieTurbo]

Had some thoughts about our names here on GasSavers:

• What does your name on GasSavers mean?
• Why did you name your car what you did?
• What is the pic in your Avatar? What does it mean?
• What does your quote in your sig mean?

I might as well start!

• OdieTurbo - "Odie" was a nickname I earned in college way back in 1990, I was always happy! "Turbo" got tacked on when I bought an '85 Camaro that I souped up.
• The_Last_SL1 - Simply the fact that the 2002 is the last model year for the Saturn SL1. The underscores are there because as a programmer, I tend to remove all spaces from field and variable names!
• Avatar - It's a picture of the Master Chief, the protaganist from the Halo Xbox games (see next line).
• Finish the Fight! Halo 3, September 25, 2007! - I'm a HUGE fan of the Halo Xbox game series, the 3rd installment comes out in September.

How about the rest of you?

[GasSavers_DaX]

Dax = long time nickname / handle. I used to DJ under the guise of "dax". I have it tattooed on my back. To be honest, I think it was a case of mistaken identity that stuck.

The current avatar is the icon Honda came up with for the Beat. I colored it red to match the Beat that I owned.
