What's in a name...

We just bought our first diesel truck and we need a new name.

You see, when my wife and I sere shopping for used trucks, we would refer to them with names like the brownie for the brown 87 ford crew cab and, the blue super cab was ol blue..... The one we ended up getting we referred to by the name of the owner and we have been fine with that name until today.

The truck is a 1993 F250 4X4 and, as older truck do this one needs a little tlc to get it up to snuff.... One of the problem was the lights not working quite right.

Hugo, the guy we bought it from was confident in telling me it was just the switch. Most everything else about the truck is fine, aside from a little body work, the truck is in good shape. So I went down to the pick a part and picked up a switch and a couple little things and started working on it today.

I popped out the old switch and plugged in the new one then tested it to see if everything worked..... and it didn't.... nothing changed, same problem.

At this point I start having thoughts of rewiring and new looms and god know what else but, I step back and start from square one.... the fuse panel.

This is where I start having problems with the name I've been calling the truck.... You see Hugo broke almost all the screw pins in the dash bezel to get to the switch, and it wasn't even the switch. The only problem with the lights was a 15 amp fuse.

Don't get me wrong here, Hugo was a nice enough guy and all but I really don't want my truck named after a Fhqin Moron!!!

My wife suggested The Beast but there's already a beast or two here....

I got some ideas but I thought I run it by you guys first, see what kind of creative names you can come up with....... Let's here what you got.

The moral of this story is; Never assume the other guy knows what he's talking about. You just might make an *** out of you and the friggin moron who fuqt up your truck.
