This is funny....its how I came up with my user name long before I found this site. In the 80's we had Prostreet, and then the 90's Probillet(

), Protouring, and all this other pro-whatever. I always liked hotrods and so I came up with 'protrash' about 2001......hotrods werent ratty, they were just works in progress that were going to be finished.
For the record, I hate the term 'ratrod'.
