What can I say I was freakishly addicted to sugar and spelling words that started with F with PH instead cool in the 90's.

my plate I got for the jeep started with ZMB, that and I love zombie movies.

My first plate started with KNT... while it may have matched my driving style, it did not make a very appropriate handle.

Ain't that the truth.... but, you, Ryan, and the "other Aaron" have got to be the most entertaining reads on the forum.

So it has nothing to do with that molecular structure in your avatar?

ive come to know jeeps as being heeps of junk. but, as all of us do, i love 'em to death and will always love them that way. so years ago when i joined a different jeep club and its forum i used this as my handle. and it stuck. its easier, theres more then 1 Eric in this club. id hate to confuse people...

Fred was the name of a previous 4wd and It would just scream when you put the hammer down. Not like my current cherokee where the rev limiter kicks in t 5300 rpm :'(

My first vehicle was an AMC Rebel, My first Jeep was an AMC Jeep CJ and I've had an AMC of some sort in my stable for over 25 years. My old school buddies used to call me AMC all the time and the name  just stuck. Every time I drive my antiques I see the word AMC somewhere. I got bit by the bug hard.  :o

i was opening my own shop and named it Bonavista Family Chiropractic.
But i used the skeleton guy as my logo.

Than one day i thought that i was 'spinalguy' and the logo was just ummm, a logo :D

So, i became spinalguy and so did my shop.

i originally started posting as another name but that name did not fare so well. It must have been the guy typing the replies and not the name ;) Anyways, it got to the point where i would post a reply (never with smiles) and people took my comments not as i intended.

It got so bad that for 1 year i would send my replies to a buddy that would rewrite them to soften the reactions.
i paid attention to his changes and when i finally felt comfortable i started posting again.
 
From that point on, any forum i registered on i went with Spinalguy. 8)

i still can be misinterpreted as i am 'direct' , but i shall remain Spinalguy 8)
