Koenigsegg is my favorite super car brand. I fell in love with them and have been wantin got drive a CCX and CCR for so long. As for “fire,” it’s simply a CCX changing gears on a racetrack: it spits out a flame when it down shifts. Awesome. That’s one reason. The other reason is because of my XBL gamer tag, “Filledwithfire.” I created an XBL account long before I joined any forum. I thought of the name at the last minute when I was signing up for XBL (I want to have an ‘almost biblical’ name) and I have been complimented multiple times for haveing an awesome name. I guess with a super car downshifting and the suffix at the end of my Live account, it just fit so perfectly that I had to use it. ---

The first psychobilly band, The Meteors, have an awesome song called “Rockabilly Psychosis”, and I am from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. So I put them together because I love psychobilly music and my province. So, “Rockabilly Psychosis” + Saskatchewan = Saskabilly Psychosis ---
