It's the name I've used for years on the net, based on a now-deceased favorite pet cat. Hey - it works for me!

I got my XFire Coupe and took a nice drive to the beach...wing up...shades on...windows down and the most delightful breeze caressing through my hair. An exhilarating experience!

"Electric Messiah" is from the song "Cooler Than Jesus" by My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult.
I also have used "Lost Prophet" as a handle for over 15 years. Long before the band came out.
I made up Lost Prophet due to it's many interpretations when read and said aloud.

V-12 was a second thought - for some reason I had a hard time registering on this site.
I normally use my father's nickname for everything - War - but it wouldn't register on this site.

Since we have so many new members these past few months, maybe some of you would continue this thread. How'd you come up with your screen name?

I own a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that I built up while working here @ Quadratec. Being on 37" tires @ $3.80 a gallon and a 4 speed automatic transmission isn't too cool nowadays. When I drove my mom's roadster and had it up to 145mph while carrying on a conversation with the top down, I thought I gotta get one of these!!! Can't talk in the Jeep with the top down, let alone turn the radio up (even though it doesn't go past 68mph with 5.38 gears verified by GPS) so I took the radio and speakers out. I was thinking a trail rig only but hardly hit the trails anymore with work and school.

So now I have my Xfire, and the rest is still to come....

Here in memphis, I'm a basketball player and I love red. I'm pretty well known at the popular gyms. I would hit so many jumpshots that the guys said "I have an infrared beam in my wrist" lol. True story so the name Infared stuck!

my name was my email address that was assigned to me back in college at Auburn. We didn't have any choice of what our email address was and this is what was given to me. We had to put it on practically every test or paper and it just kinda became commonplace for myself and some of my friends to use them for internet/gaming handles.

I figured this out my friend. But I guess most didn't.

Well, everytime I get in my car to go a short distance, I end up driving 100+ miles here and there because I enjoy driving it so much, hence, caught in the x fire, and i have an 06 year model car, hence the caughtnthexfire06
