The story of my name was somewhat of a strange one or some people think so anyway. I've had it for around 20 or so years now. I was always in to cars and customizing them, cutting, painting, stereos, etc. It was with regular cars, models, hotwheels cars, bikes, just about anything with wheels. Well one day a friends girlfriend who was a little weird (or watched Herbie movies too much:) ) made the comment that I was "killing cars". One of our other friends heard it and started laughing and always joked afterward that I was the "Car Killa" and the name stuck. Coming from a military family, even my uncles and dad started calling me that as my handle. Yes back then like radios, service, or BBS's, it was your handle, nickname, or nick, not your screen name. I've used the name ever since, even back then when dialing in to the BBS was what you did because unless you were at college or in the military using Arpanet, the only internet you could use was through Prodigy or Compuserv which would cost you $6 an hour to get online and you didn't get much only dialing in with a 300 or 1200 baud modem. Wow I feel old now. Now I'm trying to incorporate it into my caching by leaving custom hot wheels cars I make into the caches I find as a little calling card and to maybe get kids into being creative with their hobbies. Hacking up hot wheels, models, and bicycles is what got me into it. Working in IT just pays for the hobbies and caching keeps me sane. Most of the time.
