It isn't orange!

 

[stehansen]

You sure?

 

[TreeDimensional]

From here it looks more red than orange!

 

[brendonv]

Nice rig!

Those Rangers seems to hold up pretty well.

 

[SkwerI]

You will enjoy the extra room in the extended cab. Tell us more about it!

 

[MasterBlaster]

What year is it, Erik?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice

 

[NeTree]

It's an '11, Butch. Going to pick it up this afternoon.


Brian, I was thinking the same thing; room for my flight bag/etc right behind the seat.

 

[SkwerI]

Bran spankin new, huh? Did you go with the 4.0 again? Great motors.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Congratulations! Any reason you didn't go with a full size model? I'm skeered to get in a wreck in anything else. I'd get a Mini Cooper if I didn't have that worry.

 

[SkwerI]

I loved my Ranger and would have bought another one if I hadn't found the deal on my current F150. Cheap to run, fun to drive, rock solid reliable and can even haul a decent amount of stuff for a mini truck.

 

[sotc]

Your not paying 80 for that filter right, Willie? 6637? $25 at my Napa.

I think thats the fleetguard price, don't remember where I bought this one.

It'd have to be to filter all that nasyness out from under that hood., geez. Wash much?

Sure, I think I did a year or two back

 

[Newfie]

Cool Erik. A new truck! I see you got it in company colors.

 

[SkwerI]

Hey Mike! At least without that pesky bowtie on the front grill, maybe he won't have to worry about the brakes catching on fire or the wiring harness spontaneously combusting.

 

[Newfie]

I'll be happy if it doesn't leak everywhere.

 

[brendonv]

That thing really is sweet Erik.

Good luck with it, I'm jealous.

Someday I'll have a mint daily D. Everything I own is nice except the truck I drive every day.

 

[NeTree]

Well, driving my old Ranger up to the point of exhaustion at over 230k is how I was able to pay for the nice new ride.

Yep; figured the red would match the rest of our gear, Mike!

Of course I got the 4.0L, Brian. Damn straight... excellent motor. All totaled, with plates, title, tax, etc. it came to $26,130.

 

[Newfie]

It's purty. Did you gut all your lights and electronic gadgets from the old one yet?

 

[NeTree]

Not yet; gotta grab the stereo, light bar, and my ham rig out of it. Tool box and the rest of my stuff out of it. Gave the old one to my sister to finish off; she's riding shoe-leather express right now, and it's not like I could really get anything for it if I sold it.

 

[SkwerI]

At least pony up for a new toolbox for the new truck. You don't want to load it up with old, rusty stuff right off the bat. Ask Mikey if he can get his old lady to pay for some new accessories.

 

[NeTree]

The tool box IS basically new; still all shiny and purty.

[CurSedVoyce]

Purrrrrrrrty Stuff!

 

[SkwerI]

So how do you like the new truck, Erik? Have you scratched it yet?

 

[tophopper]

Nice truck Erik.


I cant believe what new cars sell for. Its outrageous.


You got an auto tranny? That'll come back to bite you someday.
