Michigan Chapter Logo

Hey all, I think it is time we get a bumper sticker together that tags us as the Michigan Chapter of FTE..

Is anyone creative? I see something with the outline of Michigan, it is required to have Ford Truck Enthusiasts somewhere on it, but after that I think it needs our own distinct personality, something that makes Us Michigan.

Personnally, I was going to snap a picture of the Glow Worm, just right FTE accross it.. but I dont know how the rest of you feel about this. Maybe hang it from the Mirror

WTF.
I didn't say i had issues.

I just said I tried to do it.
And that it was a shame it didnt' work.

Which was due to members not being interested.
I'm just amused mostly from the fact your all into it now.

You are going to be sorry you asked..

A while back at a Ford Truck Plant tour, Mark (Maevans), Rich (Toyman), Tim (Capital Customs) ,Al (officer131) and I were siting at Hooters when my wife was talking about the repairs I have had to do to my truck. She then spoke of my replacing the "Glow Worms" last winter. Mark instantly turned to her and asked for a Part number.

My wife then bought a Glow Worm, and at the last 2 GTG's it has been brought along..Not a good sight, but brings plenty of entertainment.

Pat, it's in the works. I would like to see the people that actually come to the shows/GTG receive one. I have one connections for signs and stuff. The pricing would be reasonable.

I like the Michigan Hand and I am not sure but if we only write on FTE on it you think people would know what it stands for? I know I would not..

What about a Ford truck with FTE ?

While the Glow worm is funny ( sorry!!) ( Something I would do ) I think we should keep it with the Ford Forum ..

I am not really all that creative... but, if I am going to put a sticker on my truck, which I gladly will, I would rather it be window sticker than a bumper sticker. Outlines, if that makes any sense. Glow worm is fine with me, I think it'd actually be cool. Keep people thinking.

I think it is also a good idea that they only get distributed at GTG's. You want a sticker? You must drink beer.

Have we ever thought about 'area leaders'? Ok, it might start getting complicated with all the chiefs and not enough indians, but what if there was a north, south, east, and west 'chair ford person' that could handle gtg's in their 'area.' I only ask cuz it seems like Pat has a lot on his plate. I'd volunteer for the Grand Rapids / Holland / Muskegon / K-zoo / ish area.

But back to stickers. Outline type, that I can put on my window. That way we'd only have to have white. Make production easier.
