Good day all, many of already know me from FTE but my name is Tim for those who don't. I'm looking forward to contributing and learning as much as possible with as many new brothers and sisters as possible.

Welcome Tim!
So this is kinda humorous, and I've never been to an actual one so I'm just speculating, but I'm starting to kinda feel like the leader/sponsor for an AA meeting. Now I know that's not a laughing matter, so don't take me in the wrong light, but the "Hello I'm Chandler, I too drive a Ford truck and spend as much time on FTE as I do working" kinda gives me that feel.
Glad to have you here Tim and looking forward to getting you into the conversations.

Hello, my name is Tim Seekins.
I'm a lifetime Ford-aholic and I don't ever expect to get clean.

Welcome!
I've had them all at one time or another, but I too have been primarily a Ford nut since 1986. In view of current events, looks like I'll stay with Fords too .... and a Subaru.

My name is Mike and I'm a Ford-aholic also
My folks are the ones that started this whole thing for me. Besides a '55 Bel-Air wagon they picked up new in ‘55, they have owned all Fords. It started with a 39 Ford sedan they bought after they got married in 1946. A 1963 Falcon wagon, a 67 Fairlane 500 wagon, a 71 LTD Country Squire wagon, a 79 Fairmont Squire wagon, a 1976 Taurus wagon (see a pattern here) and a 2005 Five Hundred sedan. My Dad also owned a Ford Anglia an an Escort wagon, one of the first years, I don't recall the year right now.
I started my Ford-aholic life with a 1975 Mustang II Mach 1 with a 302 V8, and while many Mustang folks bash the M-II's, that sucker would fly and I loved it. And when I replaced the 2 bbl to a 4 bbl, it really got me in trouble, a story for another day. Then as life moved on I got my Dad's Escort when he passed away, and we got the Fairmont wagon when my son was born so we could have a car better suited for car seats. Then moved onto a 1993 Explorer, our first new car. Then my wife moved onto her 2006 Mustang GT convertible and the Explorer went to the kids and we just sold it two years ago. We also got my Mom's Five Hundred when she passed away and it's a great family and trip car. My wife drives it now as the daily commuter car and the Stang sits in the garage for nice days. The Five Hundred will become my youngest daughter’s car when she starts driving next year. And of course I just traded my 2000 Excursion Limited which was our family car for 11+ years and I now have my new to me 2011 F250 Lariat. Oh, and my son drives a 2007 Focus SES. My oldest daughter is the only non-Ford driver right now, but she wants a truck like mine now. And to be fair, she has had a love of F250-350 4x4's with a lift kit and big tires since she was 15, but mom and dad wouldn't let her buy one for her first car, so technically we are to blame for the non-Ford.
I plan to update my garage with pics of the rest of my Fords when I get a chance on a nice day to snap a few shots and dig through the boxes of pictures of the cars we had before the advent of digital cameras.
