Wait. Before I jump all over him I have to know what the meaning of the word "goat" is.

My guess is "Goat" as in GTO.

If I'm wrong, correct me.

Your answer MAY modify my response... <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Any cultured aficianado of Bugs Bunny , Flash Gordon and invasion from Mars knows a proper space weapon discharges an energy stream of eratic neon coloured sparks. Spaceships should have the curves of a italian design house and the alien women tall and dangerous ( until promised a hotdog at Dodger Stadium.)

I have no idea what the name "GoatRider" means. It popped into my head many years ago when I needed a name for a computer game, and it stuck. Maybe it means "CodeWriter". Anyways, what's "GTO"?

GTO=Gran Turismo Omologato, what Pontiac named their '64-'74 (& re-released in '04) muscle car. Also known as a "Goat". Check out:

The information we pick up around here...the car was named after a Ferrari.

Wow. Some nice rides there! Thanks for the link.

Ah, the 70's. The days of cheap gas, lax emission controls, and big block engines.

It was acutally a Japanese designed car that Detroit didn't want Americans to know was Japanese designed.

It is pronounced "GEE TOE". <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You gotta be kiddin'... never heard of the Pontiac GTO? It as one of the coolest muscle cars of it's day, sometimes lovingly called "The Goat". You can't be THAT much younger than I am <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

Well, now that you bring it up, yes I do vaguely remember it. But I didn't get my driver's license until '79 or so. Anyways, I don't ride one.
