FE symbol for iron
Freaking Expensive
Many more have been debated over the years but these are a few terms commonly used. There was this very discussion on another FE fourm and someone was emailing Ford for the answer even. It's been beat to death and then some. To date everyone has there favorite and story behind it. None have otherwise proved the hearsay to be true fact that I've seen or heard to date. Pick your favortie. LOL, G.
