    What does your username mean?

    My story...

    The "MPG" part is obvious, from my interest in fuel efficient cars.

    I got my 1.0L Pontiac Firefly in 2005. I started a fuel-economy related website about it, and that's also when I started participating in other forums. But I knew most of the readers would be American, and wouldn't have a CLUE what a Firefly was (only in Canada did we get the Pontiac-badged version of the Chevy Metro).

    So I picked "MetroMPG" instead of "FireflyL/100km" and having to constantly explain what a Firefly was. And what the Metric system is!

    There's a clean logic to it.

    my name is just a throwaway....micra + metropolis.

    but my avatar and its name....thats a bit special.
    BONJOUR I'M GANARIA.
    - three words that come from three (or four) separate languages. (i speak them all in varying fluency)
    - and this was back when I made Youtube videos lol...i thought, instead of doing the tired, cliched "Whats up everyone, my name is xxx " that every youtuber did, i wanted a name that was simultaneously unique and also included the Greeting in the name itself.
    - and finally, Gonorrhea. you know, cuz it's funny. and besides, who doesn't like sex (and sexual diseases)?

    Vancouver SNOWpocalypse !!!!1!11!one (....not really)

    I have to admit when I saw you register, my first thought was: "Comrade!"

    Did you drive the triple or 4-cyl?
