At the time I started posting here I was in a history class that I loved and it focused on Roman history.  It has a good ring to it, and it means something powerful, but not unrealistic.  I have sinced used the name on a couple other forums and things.
BTW, my name is Eric and I have a 65 Falcon and Comet, both wagons.

Here, screw the link, this is copy and pasted from Wikipedia:

A decurion was a member of a city council in the Roman Empire.
Decurions were the most powerful political figures at the local level. They were responsible for public contracts, religious rituals, entertainment, and ensuring order. Perhaps most importantly to the imperial government, they also supervised local tax collection.
Early in the imperial period, aristocratic citizens actively sought the post as a mark of prestige. Once elected, they were expected to pay large sums of their own money to perform public works; decurions would typically compete with each other to furnish the community with temples, baths and other public facilities.
Under the Dominate (284 and later), when the empire's finances demanded more draconian tax collection measures, the position of decurion ceased being a status symbol and became an unwanted civil service position. It was still limited to the aristocracy, but the primary emphasis was clearly on tax collection, and decurions were expected to make up any shortfall in the local tax collection out of their own pockets. Many decurions illegally left their positions in an attempt to seek relief from this burden; if caught, they would be subject to forfeiture of their property or even execution.

Nice looking fastback, and the phonecian yellow is so close to my springtime that I can't tell the difference. Is it darker or lighter yellow?  Are you definitely sure your color is phonecian?
sure looks like springtime to me.

 Hello my name is Jason.  My initials are jaw. Since I had not bought my 73 yet and I am the only person to drive my father's 66 the past 2years I went that route. Ironically I have owned every year from the from 65-73 except a 66.

While my Mustang is a 67, it really has nothing to do with my screen name. I play guitar and picked up a vintage Gretsch guitar from my neighbor (who bought it new in '67).

CRUZZAR is my personal license plate that I have had for over 29 years.  It has been on 5 or 6 cars that I have had.  I will sell the cars but I keep the plates.

Well my name is James but up until about 2 weeks ago people called me Jimmie. One day I was late for a exam (50 min class showed up thirty minutes late) and I was so rushed and freaked out I wrote Jame on my exam instead of James(have to use my real name in college) So I have been called Jame for the past few weeks and a new forum poped up where i live and decided to incooperate that into my name so I decided 66JameStang sounded about right...

Mine... well lets just say I lack imagination. 
When I figured out what a "screen name" is, I picked something a little more fun.  So in other Mustang forums you see 66Runt.  I name my cars based off the license plate, the '66 convertible plate starts with RNT or "Runt".
Like a very smart man once said, "Call me anything you want, but don't call me late for dinner".
