My name is Warren. And, "561" was the prefix of my phone number way back when.

Well I just bought a 95 f150 for 600 dollars and drove it home. It is a rough farm truck, but seems pretty solid. Drove maybe 15-20 miles getting it home and didn't have much problems. I am pretty proud of the deal I got. I use another user name on most of the boards I participate on, but this seemed to call for something special to celebrate the deal.

When I joined back in 2005 I was a Mercedes Benz master technician. I loved the people I worked with and the place I worked, in North Carolina. Then the recession hit...

My Dad thought that older vehicles should be restored, not modified with newer/bigger/more powerful parts.
I think that older vehicles should be modified with newer/bigger/more powerful parts.
He called my thinking "sick and wrong" (mostly joking)
When I needed a username for forums about trucks I happened to think of that.

Hey now... one of my Thrush glasspacks came with a sticker so I stuck it on my back glass... you saying that ain't cool?

I liked the sticker that came with my 94 F-250. It was on the back window and looked like an alarm company logo, but had a picture of a handgun and said "Protected By Second Amendment Security" on it. I left it on there for as long as I owned the truck.

Well my first project was a 1966 Mercury F100 I put a 460 into. Also this the very first site or forum I joined on the Internet, I'm talking the original FTE way back.

User name

I would think my user name would be fairly obvious. At the time I settled on it, I had been an employee of Ford Motor Co. for 35 years. I had worked at 3 different dealerships in that time. First one was just learning my trade, second was as the shop foreman for 19 years and the last a lead tech. So all the younger guys looked at me as an oldtimer around the cars, and I had been working on them for 35 years. Five years later, I retired after a serious accident that left me doing rehab for almost 8 months as I learned to walk again. I look back on my days in the shop and would not trade it for anything. I really enjoy working on cars.

Mine.......78PEB .........My F150 4x4 is an orange '78 .......I nicknamed the truck "Pebbles" as in Pebbles Flintstone because she is such a cute little carrot top. I also use another username on some other forums..........rustywrench........because that's what I am........an old broke down mechanic.......26 years of being a heavy equipment/truck field mechanic will do that to you LOL

Well, I thought NotEnoughTrucks would be pretty clever as it is a question my wife always seems to bring up. Turns out the name was already registered here, but not in active use, so I added 2014. Maybe the admins could free up the other name? I would take it in a heartbeat!

Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - View Profile: NotEnoughTrucks

By the way, I probably own around 20 Ford trucks between 1938 and 2003. Fortunately have storage for them in an area referred to as my field of dreams. Some are parts trucks, some projects and a handful are usable.

Mine is the name I used when I joined another forum and has stuck. It stands for the 1983 Mercury Capri L, I own. L is the trim option.

I became an officer 18 years ago, so the badge is my occupation. My faith in Jesus is my life. 20 years ago it was either going to be "Guntotingpreacher" or "Biblethumpncop". I ended up with the later...
