mikec4193 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi Ratsun folks... Still getting use to that but I have two questions for you guys... 1) Why "Ratsun"????....what does it stand for??? 2) What does "Datto" mean???... I was a rat rodder for 5 years...I never heard the word Ratsun before....to me an old Datsun truck...I called it "Datsunny"...but that was 35 years ago tho... Just wondering out loud...

INDY510 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 1: "Ratsun": Ratty-Datsun ... Rat-rod-Datsun ... the guy who started this site had a rusty/ratty 510 2: "Datto": seems more popular in Australia ... it's just another word for Datsun 2 Quote Link to comment

Dattokai Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 If another Datsun owner flips you off, it's a sign of respect. 2 Quote Link to comment

shacks510 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 If another Datsun owner flips you off, it's a sign of respect. That only works if you know eachother. If I flip off a 60 year old guy, I don't think he'd take it as respect. "Damn millennials." 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 He probably would wonder what he did to provoke you to piss flip him off! LOL Better hope he is not a good shot also. Just thinking out loud and I turn 60 in January! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 The term Ratsun isn't strictly associated with this website. I've had a few people come up and talk to me about their "old ratsun" back in high school 1 Quote Link to comment
mikec4193 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hi Ratsun guys Not sure I would like the whole middle finger thing....but "it is what it is"...there are no Datsuns around where I live so I doubt I will have to deal with it... Next stupid question.... I see a lot of "goon" in peoples profiles and such... I vaguely remember a movie from the 1980's named "goonies"....any tie in there??? I am just trying to get up to speed on this arena of automobiling.... Also I dont see any females on here...any reason for that?? Thanks for all the insight guys... MikeC 1 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Ratsun is a smart ass enthusiasts forum. We all just happen to also own Datsuns. 5 Quote Link to comment
la_leo Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I thought ratsun was appropriate because apparently rats and mice LOVE these trucks. Mine had nests in every nook and cranny. Figured all 720s were home to critters lol. 1 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Also I dont see any females on here...any reason for that?? MikeC I'm afraid the reason the ladies are not here, is because we are... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Mainly because they are ladies. We do have several, bless 'em. Quote Link to comment

I only put squirells, rabbits and ducks in my gumbo ha ha. And I'm in central louisiana, coonass crossroads! Or a good hen and sausage gumbo! Quote Link to comment
