I carry Conceal AKA I stay Strapped.... I also Kick ... Original Style.
I come from a Military family and have a large collection of Firearms and have one in every room and always have one on my person, never had to use it just live by rather have and not need than need and not have! Plus I can keep my penis tucked in my ankle holster next to my pistol to avoid it hitting my knee when walking- See what I did there :) Strapped

Great thread topic! Our usernames must say so much about us and most if the times I have no clue what they mean.

Mine is pretty shallow so to speak: the vr6 is a VW/Audi engine platform only made for a short period of time. They are like the traditional v6 but with a sharper v. It's one of the the only v6 that has a single head. Anyhow, these vr6 engines turned out to be extremely strong and accepting of high hp modifications like supercharging and turbocharging. High hp, big builds have been known to smoke Ferrari's and Lamborghini's.

Anyways, not to continue boring you but it takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to turbocharge a vr6 and so I'm proud of my car that a built and well...hence my username. Sorry for the long boring posts;)
 
Since I specialize in suspension, steering and alignments where I work, a "piece of work" co-worker feels that I am "not a REAL technician" even though I have been working on cars - bumper to bumper - professionally since before she was born... ASE Master Technician, a college degree in Automotive Sciences, Certified Welder, yadda yadda yadda....

So thus Nota Realtechnician.

The vr6 and its technology are going strong to this day. Check out the motivation for the latest Passats, Bentley's, and even the Veyron...

As a former master tech and a racer, I know that nothing can change how a car feels more that a slight tweak to the alignment...

I started an electroclash production duo back in 2007 back when i was working as a barista at Starbucks. My partner and I chose tongue-in-cheek stage names. He was Major Malfunction. I was Colonel Panic. We broke up a few years ago due to family obligations etc but I kept the name for when I'm out djing. (Not as often as I'd like)

Fast forward to 2011. I had quit smoking for a few months and had started getting massive physically crippling panic attacks that ultimately ended up with me needing to take an extended leave of absence from my job (not at Starbucks any longer), not to mention I was back on crappy analogs.

I've done a number of things to reduce my risk of getting panic attacks including almost completely removing caffeine from my life. Remember, I'd worked at Starbucks for a number of years. I've been VERY addicted to coffee for my entire adult life. The worst thing was that cigarettes were the one vice that actually helped to prevent my attacks.

I stumbled on to vaping a few months ago. Now nic helps me deal with stress and vaping is helping me get healthier in all the other more obvious ways. When I joined this and other forums I chose Panic as my name first as a reminder of where I've come from and secondly what my nic addiction ultimately helps me to prevent. The start of my panic attacks were a turning point in my life and have ultimately been a springboard from which I've ultimately gained a strength and healthier lifestyle I didn't know I could experience.

Cheers!
