Long story. Here goes. I'm a fan of the Texas Longhorns. I used to have a C4. My id was Longhorn_C4. When I changed to a C5, I tried to change it to something similar but everything similar was taken. I decided to go with a non car specific ID in case I changed. I chose Cozmo as I am also a Seinfeld fan and that is Kramers first name.

Bencini is my last name and 231 was my race number when I started racing three wheelers at the age of 4 and carried on thru the years of ATV TT AND MX racing nationals and local. Still use it to this day.

"Fatcrack" is the Indian name of a person in a book about a murder mystery in Arizona. I just finished the book at the time I registered on the forum. I often wonder what people may think of its meaning ?????

Growing up playing Little League baseball, I got the nickname "lefty" because I batted left, threw left, and played left field. Seventy seven was my jersey number.

There'a a long standing joke between me and my NY cousins about their use of the term..."Fogettabotit" As the scene from Donnie Brasco will tell you, the term has so many meanings...but mostly in my case, its my way of saying..."don't sweat the small stuff"
