haha, I was going to look to see if I had posted the story and got side tracked but I can see why people may wonder what it means. Some of you know I am a bass player, basically the guy on the Zamboni got the middle finger one day and while I was working on an Instrumental song I was writing, the name Vile Zamboni came to mind. So added the e so I could own the name for the song and VileZambonie was created.

We had a thread on this a while ago but I could not find it due to this stellar search function here on this forum.

My original name was zieg72 but when the site was changed early on it was lost and I had to sign up again.  I re-joined it under zieg85.  Zieg, short for my last name 85, my favorite forever truck...

Well, mine's pretty boring and self explanatory. Lol! I live in Arizona and my truck is an 87 V10 that's described in my signature. But it's pretty neat to see how some of you got creative with your names and knowing the meaning behind them. In a way, we all know each other on this forum even if we don't actually know anyone considering we're spread out all over the country! But the wealth of knowledge on here from everyone is priceless and I wouldn't have it any other way!

You're not alone, mine is for my 1967 Kaiser M715 military truck, the one truck I always really wanted(and found!!). Well right next to a 1948 Willys Pick-up, and a 1966 Chevy truck

The 66 is one of my favorites! Anyway this post is starting to reflect my"todays thought" post about if we all lived in the same neighborhood.  The family that has never met. Maybe have a big convention somewhere in the middle of the country, like Denver. The Capt could host!  Hey wait, how did the Capt get HIS name??

My name came from my love of K5s.
My buddies would kid me about blazing a new trail in the woods when we were wheelin. Been known to mow over a tree or three in my Blazer. They would say, " There goes Harold, blazin a new trail ".
Hence the name Blazin.

Captkaos ultimately came from a friend joking around saying CREE OS for my name.  This was sometime in 1981, shortly after he watch CannonBall Run and started saying Chaos, so it just took it and abbreviated it.
