Shortround . <br>A coupla more &quot;refreshment breaks&quot; and them corn rows are gonna start lookin' like crop circles. <br>

redramnc

Shovelhead,<br>It's OK if he plants crop circles, that way he won't have to work too hard when he goes to harvest - a few refreshment breaks and he's on the same level he was when planting.<br><br>redramnc - truck is red, I live in NC<br><br>JohnP has the real redram from NC - I can only wish I could put out the kind of numbers his does. BTW - don't ever park next to his truck at an event - even if you think yours is clean his will be cleaner.

I'll have you know, they are not running boards, they're step rails. ;D<br>Another thing, it was not buried up to them, it was buried over them. Get your story right, Ed. <br>Some people will say anything to make a guy sound bad.<br><br>feelinggoodonamondayShortround out

Hoss

Hmmmm....I guess its' my turn now.<br><br>The first forum I ever went to was Ford-Diesel.com. After trying lots of names....I finally just came up with F-250 Hoss after someone happened to walk in my office and said something to the affect of, &quot;What's up Hoss?&quot;. SO....I used F-250 Hoss at pretty much every forum I went to after that (just to be consistent). Everyone just kept calling me &quot;Hoss&quot; when they'd talk to me so I finally just dropped the F-250 (oh the irony) and went with just plain ole' Hoss. ;D

bulthisl

For those of you that don't know or have never came in contact with a Bull Thistle. They are a very sharp and spiney plant that around these parts are very aggravating [ except the birds do like the seeds ].<br>When I was a kid I was into trouble around the farm alot. :<br>So my dad said I was about like a Bull Thistle or a pain in the rear end. So the handle stuck with me.<br>I had to change the spelling on some places on the net, but this one seems to work pretty good.<br>Alot of people ask what it means though. They think it says bul this 1 , but it's just plain ol bulthisl.<br><br><br> : Eddie : 8)

Winr

Ok here's a long one. And no I dont think so highly of myself that I need a name like Winr. By nature I am a Motor Head (Drag Racer) and Mopar has always been #1 with me. When Growing up Chryslers were for Gram &amp; Gramps,Dodge's were for mom &amp; Dad, Plymouth's were race cars. I had always raced Cusa's. So In '87 when I built my first Drag truck I put a Plymouth Decal on the tailgate (Like the one on the side of a super Bird ) So at the races the various track announcers would say anything from &quot;its rare&quot;, or &quot;it's Canadian&quot;, &quot;Mexican&quot; , No one ever said it was a sticker.
So part two. In school too my teachers and my parents supprise I was good in Reading, So durring all this reading I was so good at I read a passage by old Bill Shakespeare that went (paraphraseing) &quot; Would a rose be a rose by any other name ...yata yata yata... Whats In a Name?&quot;

That kinda goes with my way of thinking.

So when trying to come up with a memorable name for my race team, this came to me.
What's In a Name Racing- WIN Racing. For me it kinda puts it all together. Cars, Racing and Reading. Allways Keep'em Guessing
What does it mater what you call some thing. A flower is a flower, a Mopar is a Mopar and so on...
Told you it was going to be long

So now I use that for as much as possible cause I can remember it.

Hoss

I suddenly find myself bored to tears... :




























;D :P :-*

You know something Hoss, I have finally figured out that half the lies you tell are not true. ;D

Winr, nice story and nice looking car. 'Bout time somebody came up with a decent explanation. Notice that this thread has been read over 1000 times but not many have contributed. Can't believe that there are not more out there that have a story to tell about how they arrieved at their nickname. So how about contributing?

snowman

Well here goes:<br><br>Growing up as a kid in Texas, my Pa always had a CB in his vehicles; I wanted my own CB Handle. My dad gave me the handle of Snowman from the Smokey and the Bandit movie, because I would watch that movie over and over, I loved listing to Jerry Reed, and my Dad just figured I grow-up and be a speed nut like in the movie. Yup, he was right and I still like the movie and Jerry Reed.<br><br>In college, everybody thought I was called, Snowman, because I would leave school in the middle of a blizzard ;D to head up I-70 (COLORADO) and make some beer money pulling drivers out of the ditches that they slid into. The highway patrol always knew I would be running up and down the passes and would put out a CB call for Snowman to get somebody out (I was cheaper than the tow trucks :P). {I LOVE LOTS OF SNOW}<br><br>Put the two together and I’m known as SNOWMAN!<br><br>NO! It has nothing to do with what the OTR drives think it used to mean! :<br>
