Hi Steve:
Welcome to DC.
Don`t worry too much about Dwayne`s BMW. A month or so back, he thought he needed a Corvette. Next month it might be an Asto Martin. Maybe even a Mitsu Evolution VIII. See how tough it can be when it is time to pick a car to dream about?

thanks Charles...I`m dreaming Bently

Hey Steve, welcome to DC! Since we`re talking dream cars howz about an original Shelby Cobra 427? I`ll settle for 1966 GT350

He probably originally wanted NattyBumppo, but it was already taken.

I have been meaning to ask but keep forgeting....

what is the origin or meaning of NattyBumppo anyway???

**NattyBumppo** · 04-28-2003, 10:02 AM

Natty Bumppo (aka Hawkeye, Ol` Leatherstocking) is the main character from a series of stories called "The Leatherstocking Tales" by James Fenimore Cooper. The most famous of the stories is "The Last of the Mohicans".

The Cooper stories were my favorite part of American Literature classes. As they say about cars...the just don`t make em` like that anymore. Anyway, I thought the name sounded kinda weird and cool (in an odd sort of way) and also figured I wouldn`t have to worry about it being taken on other web forums so I started using it years ago and just stuck with it.

I know it`s weird but it certainly is different!
