jonvo4591

It's my email address, my old aim name, and my username on every forum I'm a member of. shout out a hello if you see me anywhere else.

also, in about 2nd grade, there were a few jons in my class, so I always had to specify which jon I was. I always wrote on my papers "Jon VO"
Kids eventually started calling me "Jonvo" (Pronounced "John Voe") and it also serves as a nickname for me to this day.

[bigj]

When we lived on Oa'hu, there was a Hawai'ian pop song "I'll Build You a Rainbow" by the group "Kapena". The boy in the song(Jaime) was called Big J by his dying mom, not 'cause he was a big guy, but because he had a big heart. My 10 year old daughter started calling me BigJ as a joke. It sort of stuck...

I once restored a Grady White Kingfish 254 boat that we put a 300 HP V8 outboard on . Used it for about 8 years and then sold it for exactly what I had in it.

My name's Brett, and I'm a Christian. 'Nuff said!

 

[expjawa]

Mine stems from the orphan Ford EXP in my garage (a hard to find 1984 Turbo Coupe).

Back when I was active on the fordEXP website, "the EXP jawa" (obvious Star Wars reference) was what someone called me once, because of all the parts I'd squirrelled away. It stuck. I still have most of the parts, but I've gotten rid of all but one of the EXPs...

 

[largek9]

I used to always wear Big-Dog t/shirts,thus Big-Dog then I guy I played pool with started with the "Large K9" name.So when it was time to pick a name Big Dog was too common!

[kingfish254]

There is a blast from the past. I had comepletely forgotten about the EXPs. I would have never guessed that from your username.

 

[dragnusa]

dragn_usa came around from my cousin because we used to race each other down a stretch of highway right outside our town then I was telling him about how long it took me one trip from VA to MO and he said. damn what was you trying to do drag race across the USA. So when I set up my first email I used Dragn_usa and then its changed meaning when I got my first dragon and havent stopped collecting them since
