Hi All:

       I got mine this way. My wife and friends all call me Putz cause I am always dinking with something. Also my wife says I am a lazy bum and sit on my you know what when I am putzzing around. Hence the name of Putzzass. Love my truck so far a few minor problems but it is a workhose.

Ahh, Rocky & Bullwinkle. Those were the days, along with the Pink Panther, the Ant and the Ardvark, and many others I fear I can't name. Damn, I must getting old.

Anyway to the name thing: I had just found this forum online, listening to a mix of metal/rock, drinking a few Red Stripes, and decided to join. Well, I couldn't come up with anything original, then as Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction was playing, I just went with it, "just like the pied piper led the rats through the streets...". Yep, kind of a stupid way to come up with a name, but I thought I'd share.

Ya the years are going by quicker now. The time seems more precious too. Maybe because there is less of it. At least we're rollin in some good metal. Speaking of metal. Metalica & the like are still what wake's the soul.  As long as AC DC never gets old. Our look at life doesn't either. The graying hair doesn't fit the sport bike. But I ain't letting go of that bitch either.

Figured  pied_piper was a hidden reference to pot smokin. ( Pie eyed piper ).

As long as were getting things straight. Your reference to the new Mustang. Hybrid classic wanabee? You left half of the name off. It's Hybrid classic wanabee in my mo fo garage.

Shhhh! Don't want my secret out! Ok, it was an old habit.

That's cool if you got that hybrid classic wannabe in yo mo fo garage. I just don't like the ass end of the car. It's like the designers were trying so hard to get the front end right, they were tired and slapped on a regular factory back end. We're giving one away at my work place, so I've been able to look it over more closely, and it doesn't bother as much as it used to, but I'd rather go with a '67 Shelby.

I wish. Key word wanabee. Seems I'm a little short on coin. Picked up a case of the first year run gitters too. Can't imagine where these problems came from.  The truck kicks ass. Back window going up & down would have been cool though.

Getting back to the username thing before we get cracked for drifting. Don't worry about the secret. I think puffman has the same one.
