It is a useless name I made up in 1995, that sounded Tech cool. Commonly confused with a cervix and has become almost 2 decades later freaking annoying, meaningless and dumb.....

My 1982 Rabbit pickup truck, still own it. Its silver and I swapped in a 2.0 16v. One of my friends called it silver streak. I've used it on every automotive and motorcycle forum I've been on in the last twenty plus years.

Alrighty, then, here's the deal:
I made up this name back in the early 1990s when Al Gore invented the internet and I needed a screen name for BBS's (the old-type of dial-in computer bulletin board, with a 2,400 baud rate).
Have used it everywhere ever since.
Multiple meanings to it:
Cuda:
a)My first sports car was a '70 Cuda.
b) My M.S. degree is in marine biology.
c) I used to go SCUBA diving a lot.
d) Took my ex barracuda fishing on our first date. She caught 4-foot long barracuda and hit me in the head with it while landing it in the boat.
e) I once won a writing award for a story about diving with barracuda.
911:
a) I always wanted a 911, since I was a kid.
b) My undergrad was pre-med. Need a doc in a hurry? Call 911.
c) At the time I made up the name, I was taking classes to get my EMT certification. Again, 911 for emergency response.
d) I currently own a 911 (if a 996 can be considered a 911.... according to Porsche it is).
It also had the minimum 7 characters with a mixture of numbers and letters that I needed somewhere.
