New truck!!
Saturday, October 02, 2010 7:32 AM
Well, this weekend has been bittersweet for me. I traded in my old 2000 LS Cavalier for this. It had 206000 miles on it, all original engine and transmission, and was still showing no signs of ever stopping even though the dash was lit up like a christmas tree. It was the first car I've ever modded, but seeing that it was rusting like hell and just didn't cut it when I needed to haul bricks or some other stuff for my house, it had to go.

Here she is, the last goodbye picture (Terrible cell phone quality)


And now the new hotness:










2010 Ford Ranger Sport, 4x4, power everything, bran spanking new. The only thing it doesnt have is the stage 2 towing package, which really only equates to upgraded shocks in the back.

My plans for it? Well first and foremost is an upgraded sound system. I pulled the subs and amp out of the cav before selling it, but I'm really thinking about getting a whole new setup. Plan to see me in the audio forum quite a bit.

And for those of you that remember, the miata still isn't painted lol. Although, the rust is fixed! The turbo parts are almost all acquired. Just a few more things and I'll be ready to start the build.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

Yeah Ford hasn't seemed to find a need to change the Ranger's body in a LONG time I guess... Congrats on the new pickup pick-up lol. I will be waiting to answer all your dumbass questions in the audio forum


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Ranger fan here, have an 02 just like yours. Tough trucks, IMO. Ride kinda blows, though, and I really need a bigger truck.

O noes!

Yep. And that's exactly why I bought it. Cheaper than the Colorado and the Dakota, plus all the features I need!
