What's in a UserName?

[jkp1187]

Nothing more exciting than the userid suggested by the New York Times' registration website when the userid I initially entered was rejected b/c it was already taken. It occurred to me that I wouldn't have any problems remembering JKP1187 (JKP = my initials) while at the same time, it would be unlikely that it wouldn't be taken....

Pretty uncreative of me, unfortunately.

[blownb310]

My username dates back to the late 90's. As a Datsun and Nissan mechanic, I owned a Datsun 210. The ['79-'82] Datsun 210 has a chassis model number of B310. As I was interested in high performance at that time, I bought a 70 cubic inch two lobe roots blower and planned to install it on a 2 liter engine from a 200SX. In any case, that would have made it a "blownb310". I still have the car but I never installed the blower. It's remains to this day an $850 paper weight in my basement.
