I got my simple yet effective name from Pat Metheny's 1978 Jazz album of the same name (which I played to death & still fire up on CD). Of course I didn't really get into the petro stuff until 1984.

I've been using "THE AMERICAN GARAGE" for almost 35 years!

When I first got into collecting gas stuff I use to drive all over the place. No place was to far away and it was not uncommon for a day ride to end up 300+ miles away from home. So when I joined I became fueluser and am that name on many sites and ebay. John ... oh and the picture is my everyday car with way to many miles on it for an 07.

Ever had a slew of farm fresh old gas pumps in your basement? It tends to get you a gas smell in your cellar.

My dad started raising rabbits commercially and started selling cages to people who bought his rabbits in 1961. Today, 51 years later, the company is run by his grandson, my son, and continues to support my passions like fishing, racing, flying, restoring cars, and oh yeah.....collecting petroliana. By the way, I didn't know collecting old gas station junk was called "petroliana" until about ten years ago when I got this sickness......Anyway, I've been a Rabbitman all my life. I've got to get an avatar pic posted someday, I guess......Gary

I was never creative enough to come up with something off the wall and besides, my name has not got me into any trouble elsewhere so I figured I would keep using it here.
This is a fun thread, I have always wondered about some of these names. In my mind the most clever award goes to Mick, aka oldnfuelish.
My avatar is a Sinclair racing oil cloth banner that so far is the only one known.
