I've raced Dodge Neons since 1996... My first Number on my racecar was 8, and I drove the car around town.
People referred to me as that " Super 8 Neon "... it's just stuck as my register name.
I've even put it on dinner reservations.
LOL.
Note... no relation to the Super 8 Motel.

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?
Flylow is a spinoff from another nickname i had a while back. While working for a university media center as a student, I developed a reputation for being able to repair just about anything electronic that showed up on the workbench. So, there was some reference to Philo T. Farnsworth and, since my first name is Phil, that one stuck while I was there. Once I started playing paintball scenario games on a fairly regular basis the philo morphed into flylow. Seems that I have a tendency to do things quickly and quietly without much fuss. My motto is, "If it needs doin', let's just get it done." It's funny because my Dad used to always talk about getting things done, including getting from place to place as quickly as possible without anyone taking notice or causing a stir. His term was "flyin' low." So, his propensity for staying under the radar came full circle with me.

some of the best things learned in life are lessons learned from our fathers. they seem to have a " no nonsense " way of seeing things. i guess this comes from their life experiences . best thing we can do is pass it along .flylow wrote:Flylow is a spinoff from another nickname i had a while back.

My real name is Rolando but I don't like it. So friends started calling me Rolan, I then just desided to spell it Rollin for some reason. The 2008 part was when I took the CHL course thinking it was going to come in the same year but yeah... it came in 2009 :(

Well, my name is George. I work in the electronic music instrument business servicing organs and digital pianos. One of our manufacturers names was Electromusic. I always like that name. So, I took my name and added it to part of the other name.
