@slomo yeah, what did they think was going to happen when they let all these immigrants in 🙄 Lucky for us, these immigrants are too stupid to know what a "kill switch" is lol. I'm near Portland, Oregon so not sure if this totally applies to me.

They are flying them in all over the place thanks to you and I. No house for them, we'll just throw them in a luxury hotel. Destroy the hotel, not a problem.

My 1994 Ranger is up to 399K original engine. Had it from new and always change the oil/filter & grease ever 5K miles. Had multiple people stop by wanting to buy it. I just tell them no because
I would just have to turn around and buy another. I have looked at some used trucks for sale
but at today's prices I end up deciding to keep running my Ranger
I'm in this boat, too. Several years ago, I bought a 2000 Ranger for $1000, and it was a basket case. It needed work on: engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, A/C, radio, window and door lock switches. I put about another $1000 in it, and it runs, stops, and steers like new. Still looks crappy, but it runs great. That same kind of basket case is $3000 these days. I would kinda like to have a truck that can tow more, but as we just mentioned, even used trucks are stupid expensive. My Ranger will do anything I need a truck for, except towing, and even then, I can tow my riding mowers with it.

Yeah, originally I was looking for a Ranger too, but I needed something just a little bit stronger, while being a relatively small truck. That's how I found my 92 F150 reg cab short bed. It was actually cheaper than some of the Rangers out here for sale. Plus I wanted a V8 too 😏. I bought it for $2800 and changed plug wires, plugs, Distributor, lower intake manifold, Rebuilt injectors, and a new radio. It needs new suspension too so scraping up the money for that. Do you guys want to post pictures of your trucks? I'll post a photo of mine later today.
