I used to, but I had a lot of typos when I tried to log in, and besides, people kept mixing me up with somebody else so I changed it to JackMcCornack because...let's face it, that guy is my hero!

It is easy to place a derogatory remark upon those who senselessly attacked us, and who indeed, "awakened the sleeping giant". The fabric of US History resides in our response and the post-war efforts to assist in rebuilding a multitude of Nations, including our own.
I will say it until I'm blue in the face. Those who do not learn from History are destined to repeat it. Derogatory statements are only an excuse to perpetuate the view of a time long-past. How many of us here have vehicles made in Japan?
This is a fuel economy forum, not an Historical debate. Look at how far we all have come since Pearl Harbor. Keep potential slurs to a minimum, and we can move on to drag coefficients and torque converters.

(Light tone here)
Does that mean I can't say "engine"?

ShadeTreeMech....I guess you could put it into the "obvious and boring" category.
Funny thing is the nick started while playing StarCraft. I needed a new nick and I loved fixing cars on the side (and still do) but lack credentials. And back then i did work under a large shade tree when fixing cars.
I've enjoyed reading this thread and hope more chime in!

My username comes from the nickname of the baldie chap on the left - Alec Issigonis. Who is he ? He is from the age when one person could be said to have designed a car - he designed two significant British cars, the Morris Minor and the original Mini, some others including the BMC 1100 and 1800, and contributing bits and pieces to lots of other cars including MGs and Alvises.
Why this name ? Well I feel I have his faults including an opinion of everything, an annoying enthusiasm to share that opinion and an ability to have the wrong opinion.
Later in life he was moved aside as his cars had proved brilliant but unreliable. The replacement cars went the other way - reusing old components and old designs - the Marina. When he finally got a chance to look at it and was asked his opinion he replied in his usual style - "Thats not a car, anyone could design that."
