No real mystery, old gamer tag, didn't want to tie my nick to the car (like lethal03) because you never know when you are going to buy another one!

GRUFF is my Navy callsign (I flew Navy F-18's for the past 24 years)

Mine actually started out as MmmmPistolWhip back in the Modular Depot and Modular Misfits days. I shortened it to just PistolWhip when I came here, but it actually came from an episode of The Simpsons and has nothing to do with the violent action it has become known for... :lol1:

Pistol Whip - YouTube

Most people that know me probably had no idea, my job being what it is and all, but it doesn't have the violent undertone that I've become known for...:kaboom: :beer:

Bought my first new car a 1991 GT (cobra) and wanted to create a user name on a forum. Cobra was used and they suggested Cobra99. Have been using it ever since

For all of you history buffs

Mine's actually come from the name of a Russian czar, Ivan the Terrible. As a Russian, I always gotten a kick out of this somewhat mistranslation. I always felt that English version of "the Terrible" should have been more like menacing (or formidable).

Max is my name, as you could have guessed. And combined with the fact that I am a terrible driver (would almost certainly loose to all of you on a drag strip or road course) the username seemed all the more appropriate.:burnout:

What's a gt Cobra? Everyone thinks their fox body cars are Cobras because on the title they say GT/Cobra because they're insured the same. There's no such thing as a GT/Cobra.
