How did you pick yours and what is its relevance? My nickname is Bigshow but that was taken on here. I have a F350 and my brother and I have a few businesses under the Laredo banner.

Preppypyro.. hmmm My nickname in high school by a good buddy of mine was preppy, and my buddy was a pyro, and we went into a dumb chatroom one time and put both of our real life nicknames together and it kinda just stuck!

Glad you asked...
I wanted to use fomoco-FOrd MOtor COmpany but someone already had it, next try was fomoco1. That was taken too so my wife suggested using fomoko1 and it worked.

Mine is a nickname was my current one at school when I joined the forum, has to do with bad roads and beer with a couple buddies ridin in the box and cab. This was in my 1975 with that 360. I didn't put any thought into it never thought I'd ever go this far or else I would have thought of something cool rep. Y blocks or something Fordish.

It has to do with how we threw the empties seeing who could hit the road signs

I missed it with my Molson but old Freddy my 75 Ford almost got that sign.

A stop sign is the best one to try and hit! Those skinny long ones are tough too. Best shot I ever did was over the roof of my car with my left hand, out the drivers window, and I threw it to the pass side, and I hit one of those skinny rural bridge signs!

Mine's got a double meaning. My truck's a 'Full Crew'cab as opposed to an extendedcab. Also, it's for hauling my 'full crew'. Wife and 4 kids. The 7.3 part should be rather obvious.
