WOOT i got a DD!!!!

[pHEnomIC]

I drove my Z this winter, it was fun driving it in snow, people all whining and stuff staying at home. I was out havin a blast. I was a bit paranoid about salt and washed it whenever possible.

I remember one day at school, they really shouldve called a snow day, i was one of the first cars to arrive in the parking lot and i had the absolute worst car for it. I did a few donuts to celebrate and leave my mark in the snow.

Must be something with Rangers and bent bumbers. My brother in laws is the same way and I see a lot of them with hanging bumbers. Anway good luck with the truck.

[Keego Ridah]

haha thats sweet matt, how much did you pick that up for? it's going to be so weird seing you driving that thing, your pimp status has been lowered lol

[SS4Matt]

yeah....i can still rock the SS whenever i want though...i just needed something and this kinda came along. i love it. something about driving a slow ass automatic car that makes my camaro that much more rewarding!

but yeah the reason why i love little trucks is because of my 16 birthday present....



then one day coming home i was struck by a drunk driver in a 3/4ton Ram diesel!!!! causing this....

$16,000 in damage on a $18,000 truck!!!

i can't wait to make this one look a little more worthy!

[meissen]

congrats Matt!!

[Keego Ridah]

Yep i remember when you had the S-10, that sucks

[WMCC Gary]

no longer will the SS be called for everyday duties! i picked up a dailey driver finally! it's a metallic gray 99 Ford Ranger, reg cab short box. 4 banger with an auto....should get about 10times the gas mileage as the SS

it's a little rough. has 100K miles and needs some TLC. i got tomarrow off, so im gonna go in and clean everything twice!

front and rear bumpers are a little messed up. the rear was bent all down...but a little bit of Bernz-O-matic a floor jack under the bumper and a few friends jumping in the bed of the truck straitened that out enough until i get new ones!

i dunno...just thought i'de share, i was into mini-trucks before my SS (i loved my S10...RIP) so by next year this thing will probably be lowered a few inches and have some nice looking 18" rims! will be tinted within a few days as well!

Matt, I don't think I would tell anybody that I bought a FORD let along post it on the internet. I mean what were you thinking .................. a FORD ................ I thought you were better than that.









at least its not an import.

[SS4Matt]

well i kinda had the day off of work, so i went in and cleaned the interior of my truck...it was nasty...the water coming outta the steam cleaner was just black! nasty as all hell!! im going to wheel it out another day when i have some more time.

but i got the side windows tinted already! 20% on the sides. i'll throw some limo or 20% on the back window to darken it up some, and then the windshield will get 35% to finish it off as the time comes and i have a spair minute at work!

i just got something for my car today too...i'll post up pics tonight...it's gonna be so kick ass!!!

The Lone Ranger as it sits now!

Ford

[Keego Ridah]

Get Er Done!!!

[BlackbirdWs6zzz]

that truk will last your forever. they just keep going and going. Even if it does break down, it's not like you have never driven your car in snow!

[SS4Matt]

yeah i love the little thing! 4 banger will last a solid 200K miles i think with regular oil changes!

[SS4Matt]

My dad lives on in AZ, so i just sent him an Email about my truck and a picture of it...i told him it was so damn slow that it's 0-60 in a few days....my dad's a pretty cool dad, and he sent me back a big email, but part of it made me laugh.... the 5 point slow with a 5 speed sounds like it would be fun though!

Your little truck looks good. 0 to 60 eventually? Use it to haul the jet ski yet? Are you going to get that bed liner stuff sprayed in it? A bed cover? A "system"? A 5.0 with a 5 speed? Maybe just have fun for the rest of summer?

[JoeliusZ28]

bah to the 5.0. go for a 351 or a 428 haha.

[SS4Matt]

haha i'de never do anything like that to it lol...not worth the time or money for something that's still a slow truck lol...it just made me laugh...

a "system"? 5.0 with a 5 speed lol....
