my name unusual?

 

I had a Z06 it was stolen and stripped - the insurance "totaled" it.

 

my name comes from my initials, JRM (John Rutledge McGregor) and the cc displacement of my first car, a 1994 honda civic dx hatchback... (1493 cc). i just started using it because jrm was always taken and i can usually assume that there arent 1493 people with my name...

don't get me wrong, i'm no riceboy, but i loved that little car (not nearly as much as my truck though!) - i never modded it at all (except for a tach and stereo). it was a great little car and extremely fun to drive. my sister totaled it about 5 months ago... which was good because i got my truck a few months early, but bad because that was a good little car (it was going to be hers anyway because i recently graduated from college and the truck was a graduation gift from my parents; it wouldve been nice to go home and drive it from time to time, though! ).
