....there is no longer an SRT-4 owner on the board!

Yep, traded it for a 2007 Ford Ranger cab plus. Finally, got something practical....and won't have punk kids in Hondas harassing me at every stoplight. Its a relief!!

 

Woot Woot!!! Awesome bro! Post some pics.

 

YAAAAAAY!!! no more neon....but you got a ford.....hmmmm, no comment .

 

ah crap... now you got me thinking about trucks again. I have too many cars & nothing to tow or cruise in the mountains.

 

lift one of your cars and rally it!!!

 

Yeah it was pretty sad when my biggest and most practical vehicle was a Neon! I was tired of borrowing everyone's truck/SUV to haul stuff...

I'll post some pics later in the week...don't have the truck yet, they still gotta do the prep plus install a cruise control.

And please no Found-On-Road-Dead or Fix-Or-Repair-Daily jokes!

 

meh ford's doing much better these days, especially in comparison to gm...

*coughs*

 

I'm getting a Frontier

 

i'm getting a brat.

 

Congrats. It sucks when a decent car turns in to something you loath (sp?) cuz you need a vehicle thats more "practical". I mean, dont get me wrong. It was a neon . . .but a nifty lil neon that was decent on the get up and go end of the spectrum. Did you get a 4x4 or pre-runner? My homie just got a 07 Tacoma. Its friggin amazing how the newer trucks have so many "car like" qualities. Rides like a car, all quiet inside on the road and ****, big comfy interior, room for a couple homies. . . .and you can haul a metric ****-ton with'm.

 

Yeah the SRT was a fun car for the most part but lately its had some overheating issues and the gas mileage has always been abysmal. I just needed more "balance" in the fleet.....I really missed having a truck to occasionally haul stuff with. And you're right, I couldn't believe how quiet this truck was when I test drove it, overall very car like as far as comfort. I thought about getting the 4x4 but ended up getting the 4x2...

 

I've made two tragic mistakes in my life...

The first, was dating a chick I met while visiting a friend in the psyche ward...

The second, was buying a Ford Ranger



Rod.

 

Nah Rod, I've had three other Rangers and never had any problems....

 

Some pics:

 

Purdy! Looks like a lifeguard truck on Baywatch.

 

Now if it just came with Pamela Anderson (in her Baywatch days...not now...)

 

pamela is still hot....

 

But now, everyone is gonna ask you to haul THEIR ****!

That's a damn good lookin' truck. I don't want to be there the first time you put a scratch in the paint on the bed...

I have a '94 Ranger on long term loan and it's had no problems after 80,000 miles either... well, except for that transmission that crapped out at 70,000 miles... DOH!

 

Thanks lww. Yeah I think my next investment might be a bedliner.

I've had an '01, an '05 (Splash), and a '98 Mazda B2500 (same thing as a Ranger), and had minimal problems with any of them....

 

Nice truck! Ranger's (Especially late 90's ones) have GREAT reputations, my best friend has one, it's awesome, hasn't broken down despite being a ford.
