Quicksiler is a nickname for Mercury. Mercury was the god with winged feet. The police, my insurance company, and my wife all regard me as too fast...[:0]
Quicksilver was taken on a forum - by someone who never posted - so I added my name.

Back in MN (where I saw them testing the PT before anyone knew what they were!) I had a sign shop. On my biz cards, under my name for my 'title', I put Rocket Signtist.

Now I'm in NY, and just started up another sign shop at home and needed a name... so...

Rocket Signtist - for signs, graphic and other cool stuff!

Four main thoughts
1. After looking at the list of names already used, it seemed many good word plays were taken
2. Didn't want to use my own name for privacy reasons
3. Many posts ask specfic questions without identifying the exact year/engine-trans/equipment level
4. I've had too many nicknames over the years to need another
I figured a simple descriptive ID was best, even if it's boring. It may be a sign of my age or gender, but I've never 'named' my cars. They've been "the purple car" or "the Demon" or "the race car" for example. I choose to have unique cars, not unique names. See the pic.
