Question Explain Your User Name

Just like vanity plates, it would be interesting to know how you came up with your user name. As for me, I had to do a lot of metal gymnastics to come up with mine. For sure, it had to be unique to what defines me. Scarry thought and tough job. Anyway, here is how I came up with speed220mph:

In high school I was given the nickname "Speed", which is what many of the local law-enforcement types wrote on a little slip of paper they handed me through the driver's side window. That is the first part of my name. The balance of my user name is the top speed I reached at the Bonneville Salt Flats on my way to a C/Production record, which got me in the 200MPH Club at a speed of 217.849 mph in 1981.

Let's hear how you came up with your user name.
