    I guess I just have a thing for unique vehicles. At about the same time I was searching for a VX, I found and purchased another unique ride I had been a fan of for awhile. A TREK Y33, carbon fiber, y-framed mountain bike. Like the VX, I consider the Y33 to be not only a mode of transport, but something of a work of art. Anyway, I had the bike, but not the VX, when I started posting here, and Y33TREKKER had something of an off-road sound to it, so I went with it. Have been enjoying both ever since.

    Mine is obvious. TexVx = I'm a Texas VX fan. On many of my various forums I am Tex + whatever word goes well with the forums. Adding the prefix Tex often gives me the name I want with it. However there is a drawback to that. People frequently expect such a prefix to be a guy, but I am a gal.

    When I joined here though I would have been more creative had I realized there was already someone called Texasvx. I at least wish I had called myself TexVeX because that is how I would pronounce the name TexVx. And Vex might suit me since I am a redhead and a Taurus with the typical temper to go with it.

    It's also the license plate on my 350Z Roadster. That way, people will assume there is all sorts of expensive camera gear inside and break into it.

    Shoota came from my prep hockey days. A few of us were discussing post-goal celebrations and I was getting my balls busted for never doing one. Fast forward to my next score and I pulled out the "Shoota!" from Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore and it has stuck. I wore 77 until high school and it's my lucky number.

    Thanks for the name change, Moncha. I am now TexVeX instead of TexVx. I'm an annoying, distressing, perplexity now, heheh. Many would agree to that, too.

    My callsign, literally, is N0ZAP... the N because I'm in America, the zero because I'm in ITU zone 0. The ZAP part is just a bunch of letters.

    The FCC showed a little humor when they assigned me that one.

    My login name is just first initial, last name. Booooring.

    Dino is really a nicname. Dean is my real name but everyone calls me Dino.

    The BANDIT thing came from Rowhard, He gave me the handle because I "stole" a 2000 VX for $5K.
    Sold the VX 11-21-07. It was fun while I had it!
    Thanks for all the help.
