The name has many meanings, but for me it's mostly nostalgic. I'm a Vietnam Vet and back then (68-70) there were several "brands" of pot, Acapulco Gold, Cambodian Red, Black Meshmecan, and of course, Panama Red. A musical group called The New Riders of the Purple Sage had a mediocre hit with Panama Red back about 71. (kind of a Grateful Dead type group) Then from 1974 thru 1978 I drag raced a red 1969 Z28 Camaro in NHRA stock class. Did pretty good too. Won class at the Indy Nationals in 76, pic's in several magazines, ran first Bracketnationals at Rockford, Il in 75, won the Fall bracketnationals at Central Mich dragway in 76, and twice semifinalist at US131 Popular Hot Rodding Magazine Championships. That car was lettered with 24 karat gold leaf and called "Panama Red". My partner's wife came up with the idea. In 79 I had Panama Red, too; a 1970 Nova with the Camaro driveline installed. I had owned the car since new when I got home from Nam. Won the US131 points championship that year and got more magazine pics. Parked it for a couple years cuz my first child (son) was born in 1980. Then brought it back out in 82 as a Super Street NHRA car. Ran 10.64 et at 125 mph with a 355" small block, 4 speed, 4bbl on 10.5" slicks. Got pics in the puter if you care to see. This year I'm planning a return to drag racing just for fun with our red PT Cruiser Limited Edition. Wanna guess what the magnetic lettering will say? You got it! Panama Red Rides Again!

BUGNUT. I'm a nut about VW bugs. I bought my first one 25 years ago and still have it today! It was the first car I bought. I've also had seven others.
Regards Bugnut

Came up with mine for a couple of reason's: I got hurt on the job in 94 and ended up with blood clots that kept me in and out of the hospital for the next 2 years, hence I had to start life over, find a less physical job...etc.
Second reason: The doctors occasionally change my medicine and it sometimes plays tricks on my thinking, so I had a bad week once that it seemed like I had to redo everything I did that week. The 40 stands for my age this coming birthday.

I got mine beacuse I love dragons, anything from Dungeons and Dragons style beasts to traditional oriental-style dragons, and when I got my first computer my girlfriend got me a little stuffed beanie-baby dragon that I keep on top of monitor all the time now. The name on his tag? Scorch.
I would also like to request some of those pics PanamaRed
