where did your username come from?

fiveohpatrol · 06-25-2002, 12:13 AM

Some of you have some really interesting user names, that need some light shed on. so do it here

I'll go first,

if you dont know where the "five-oh" part came from then you shouldn't be on this site

and the patrol refers to the fact that my car used to be a highway patrol car. Doesnt really take a genius to figure it out, but some people may have thought I was a cop or something, which couldnt be FARTHER from the truth

(I dont care for bacon)

PKRWUD · 06-25-2002, 12:34 AM

I have had the nickname Peckerwood for 30 years, so when Im opened my business, Peckerwoods Pit Stop seemed fitting.

Take care,

tireburner163 · 06-25-2002, 12:38 AM

My antics at the local cruise spot in my brother's blown GT earned me the nickname tireburner.

BTW to get it for Sat. nights, I had to wash, polish, wax, vacuam, and otherwise detail it AND cut his grass AND change his oil, AND do just about anything else he wanted.

oh AND buy him a new set of tires...back ones at least.

Crazy Horse GT · 06-25-2002, 12:40 AM

nice car in your sign chris, trade you my gt for it, hahaha

6T9PONY · 06-25-2002, 12:58 AM

You're just in the trading mood tonight, aren't ya Marty?

The Deuce · 06-25-2002, 12:58 AM

Mine is an old college nickname. The fact that it also happens to be the nickname given to the quintisential hot rod is just a happy conicidence. Has absolutely nothing to do with '32 Fords.

joe4speed · 06-25-2002, 01:13 AM

mine's pretty self-explanatory

I'm Joe, and I'm all for speed!

and it's the name of my website

Old Guy with 87 GT · 06-25-2002, 03:05 AM

mmm the old guy thing ........when i first got the gt ,i started going out to the street cruising/racing scene ,....well it seemed like everybody i met was like a teenager or in there early twentys .........and then it seemed that most of the peaple with fox stangs in my area were younger then me ,at the track ,and on the street ........well the teens into the street scene seemed to dub me "the older guy with the maroon mustang ".

....so ....when i stumbled apon mustang works ,i just figured it was an ok and practicle name.......well then i started posting and found out there's alot peaple my age into stangs (found out there was some "real" old peaple into stangs too .....really really old peaple ....lol

) ,but by then peaple started to know me as old guy , so i just left the name .......

for anyone who dosn't know ,i'm not real old ......(old enough to know better ,but still to young to care)

p.s........ the kids into the street scene just call me "crazy jim" now .......can't figuere out why though

Black powder coated pony wheels

Black paint with no emblems.

My car should be complete by Christmas.

Kevin Price · 06-25-2002, 08:24 AM

I got mine when I was born, or shortly thereafter. I didn't get much say in the matter.

Mr 5 0 · 06-25-2002, 08:42 AM

Good thread; we haven't done one of these for awhile and it helps personalize things around here, which I encourage.

I'm asked about my user name a lot and I've noticed it's imitated a lot, too, so I guess it was a good choice,

When I first bought my Mustang LX the garage I hung out at had a mechanic, Dave, (who was a Corvette owner) and he loved my 'Stang. After a few weeks, he started saying: "Hey, it's Mister 5 0" whenever I stopped by, and the name stuck.

When I originally registered for Mustang Works and was asked for a User Name, I was stumped for a minute, then I thought of my 'shop name' and 'Mr. 5.0' was born.

I don't go to other Mustang websites anymore but I'm still registerd on the Corral and a few others as 'Mr. 5 0'.

OnMy3rdStang · 06-25-2002, 10:48 AM

Mine is pretty self explanitory....I am on my 3rd mustang.

lx mike · 06-25-2002, 01:08 PM

My first 5.0 was a lx so thats what i picked and i'll continue being lxmike unless my lifestyle changes ($$$)

most names are self explainitory but there are a few that i would like to know more about. (psst unit)

0h n0 5.0 · 06-25-2002, 02:47 PM

pretty simple, i had my crown vic, it was a 5.0, when i registered here with the intentions of gettin a 5.0 mustang (wanted a fox) but found my lean green 94 GT 5.0. luckily, I got to keep my name "0h n0 5.0" describing how I drove my crownvic

and also part from a licence plate i see at our local cruise in every 3rd saturday of the months.
