Well my name is Matt, and when it comes to vehicles I get a little crazy... It's Krazee instead of crazy since A) crazy is usually taken, and B) my nickname in my squadron is Krazee Matt. Used to be Leadfoot (with matching tattoo lol), but over the years it's become Krazee. Started with becoming a 200mph club member on my friend's turbo 'Busa which was also the first shakedown run. Verified 200.7mph (never EVER again). Then during my Jeep years, my Cherokee started stock and ended a Frankenstein of Jeep, Ford, Dodge, and Chevy parts. I also jumped my Jeep through an intersection in Seattle just to get an AWESOME traffic camera photo and to see the look on the judge's face. I think the final straw was when I took my old Chief for a ride in my Chevelle and we may or may not have drifted an off ramp in the rain at 65, but in my defense I had swapped the posi for a straight up locker and completely forgot the driving mannerisms had changed.

So Krazee Matt it is!

When I get back home next week I'll get up in the attic and start digging through it to see if I can find it. I had it framed in my barracks room when I was still a barracks rat.

It also wasn't as epic as I thought it'd be. All four tires are off the ground yeah, but due to the rock-crawl oriented suspension (loooong travel) and 37's the tires were maybe 6 inches off ground.

Hey, air is air, but honestly, I was hoping for something like this:









That was at last weeks NorCal/SoCal Pismo Beach get together.

In my previous life as an air traffic controller we used initials as a way to sign off quickly from a conversation with other controllers on the intercom. My real initials were taken, so I just randomly picked XY. Thus ExxWhy is long for XY.

Nothing to do with EXcursions or EX-wives.

Eric, I never would have guessed that... I always thought ExxWhy stood for "why the hell did I buy an ex". Lol

I served 5 years (88-93) in the Marine Corps, hence the Patriotic part. The Other part is from my son, Duke (German Rottweiler).
