    I really don't know where the "zoll" part of my name came from, but as for my avatar, It was drawn by one of my friends at school in MSpaint, when I left my computer unlocked. originally, it was red:

    When I started social media when I was 8, I had an account name called "codyboy8", when that account got shut down, I just kept using and using this name.
    I have been using this name for more than 6 years.
    And you know where my avatar came from.

    Tesla, was the last name of a famous inventor, who made the Wardencyffe Tower in 1901. The idea was to transmit electricity, messages, and even images wirelessly. The tower was never used, due to the expenses involved. In 1906, Tesla's Financer, J. P. Morgan, refused to invest, and the project was abandoned that year That explains my profile picture, and half of my name. The other half, 66, is both my (un)lucky number, and a road that is cool (Route 66).

    Back in my darkest squeaker days, I came up with a lot of different usernames - KCarFanatic (the Chrysler kind, not the Japanese kind) was one, and is the oldest I can remember, but there were others. However, one day I found myself a new one - I was watching a local (now unfortunately discontinued) sports channel when an ad came on for a well-known Anchorage car dealership. In it, the also well-known dealership proprietor, rendered inside a terrible clipart helicopter, identified himself as "Chopper Chuck" and pinpointed the amazing deals at that dealership as the source of all the traffic jams in Anchorage. It was so horrible that I loved it, and started using "Chopper Chuck" as a username.

    April of 2011 comes along (wow, I can't believe it's really been that long) and I'm introduced to bronies by way of them suddenly posting a bunch of MLP memes in a funny picture thread. Me being a typical "MUST CRUSH CHILDISHNESS" teenager at the time, I immediately started fighting back and then tried to invade their thread on the same forum. Not long after, I found a dedicated MLP fansite and decided to start trouble, and I decided that since My Little Pony was the opposite of everything manly, manlifying my username by adding a firearms reference would obviously rile them even harder - hence, I started using "SHOTGUN CHUCK" (yes, with caps, to make it even more in-your-face) as my username. Man, I was a brat back then. In the end, I didn't quite have what it took to be a true troll, so I just stayed around as a obnoxious curmudgeon and surprisingly frequent source of actually interesting/funny discussion, to the point of being a well-recognized board regular at one point. Eventually, the admin's site updates started breaking stuff on my end (caused no doubt in part by my stubborn clinging to IE7 at the time), and I drifted away. Now I've got too much going on in my life to spend much of it hating on MLP, and can't really hate the show that much anyway (though I doubt my main objection, the voice acting, has changed much since then), but I liked the username and have kept it ever since.

    My avatar is a scan of a mask I made using construction paper and Sharpie, so I could post opinion videos on YouTube without being identified by current or potential employers - which I haven't really bothered to do. Yes, it's supposed to look unrefined, and yes, I really do have a mustache.

    I've been using this username on the Internetz since I was 17 or something.

    Back then, I was an avid fan of rhythm/music videogames... so I chose the name of Bust a Move's final stage battle theme as my username. :)

    Current avatar is an artistic rendition of me with some awesome sideburns I could only dream of, doing my everyday job... :D

    Had to find an username to buy Minecraft (it was a long time ago).
    I wanted something somewhat automotive. I don't remember how, but I ended up choosing "Fast". The Subaru part came because I wanted to put a car brand there, but I had no idea what to choose. Subaru is a brand I like, even if I'm nowhere near a "fanboy" of it, so I ended up choosing that. The French Gendarmerie used Subaru Impreza back at the time, so it was even cooler to me.
    The 71 is simply the number of my department, Saône-et-Loire in France.
    The nickname didn't include capital letters at first, but I felt that fastsubaru71 wasn't pleasing to read.
    I added the capital F and S later, and ended up adding a "-".
    I am aware that this username isn't that good, but I use it since a long time so it grew on me.

    Now, avatars. I first used Big Smoke as an avatar, because I really liked that character in GTA:SA.
    BigSmoke.jpg
    Plus, there was the number nine meme, but the main reason for it being my avatar was that I found the character appealing.
    My current avatar is a montage I made using a GTA:VC artwork of Oliver Biscuit. That character is just a radio host, but there is something about his face that I find funny.
