What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.
The deal with the nickname does involve a totaled car. It was a tomato red two-door Saab 900, standard shift. I pushed it too hard on a curve, lost traction on wet pavement, and was all over the road before the car smacked rear-end-first into the concrete median wall. So there's the car. Everyone wants a car in the story.
