My screen name is back from AOL days.

This maybe somewhat sacrilegious, but one of my favorite cars of all time is the Ferrari 308 GTB.  I've always wanted one, but, being an engineer, know what a PITA (and rather expensive) it would be to maintain.  Therefore, my screen name was my first name (Dave), my last name initial (N) and 308.

I've used DaveN308 on all but one forum and that was because there was a screw up with the account and it was easier to create a new screen name than to try to get it fixed.

When I bought my first Corvette (a 69 SB Coupe) and joined a forum I used something descriptive of that car like 69L46.  But when I added the 93 I figured the old name was too restrictive.  So...since I live in New Jersey and I intend to own at least one Corvette until I'm buried in it  I adopted jrzvette.

Tachout means to drive past the red line.  Back in High School I had a 77 Camaro with a inline 6.  I wanted to drop a big motor in it and .... well I am sure everyone on here understands what I wanted to do.  Well my dad offered up the cash to do what ever I wanted as long as I could convince my mom I wanted or needed to do it.  Well she told me that I did not need a new engine, and that the one in it was just find.  So dad says "Sounds to me like as long as that engine is in there you stuck"  I thought to my self stuck... I should leave it stuck in first for a bit and drive it till it blows up.... I might add here that that was one stout engine and really to this day still surprises me.  Everyone I rode with throught it was odd for me to drive it up into the RPMs until the valves floated, and then just step on the clutch and coast... From that time on I got the nickname.  Never did blow that engine up.

My initials are JB. Everyone calls me JB. My vette has the Z51 performance package.

JB Z51 is also my license plate. So for you guys near Philly, PA, if you see a black streak pass you, that is me!

My first name is JONATHAN.  According to family legend, I was named after a Baptist preacher's son that mom had babysat while she was in high school.  Mom always described that kid as "meanest little !@#$%^&*() I ever babysat."
 
Someone at the fire station called me John one day and I went up their pants leg like a squirrel, "IT'S JONATHAN!!!!!!!!!!"
 
A couple of the jokesters then started calling me JonJon and the name stuck.
