Why me? Seems like every time I come out from a store they move a dumpster next to my Ranger! ??
Sorry Fred I'll try harder next time. I was so weak from going into the store I barely had the energy to drive home.![]()
Dave, I know us damper owners suffer from muscle deterioration but when throwing trash into the dumpster, try to be a little more accurate!

Wow, when you say you’d like to go camping in America and ship your own truck because you don’t want to rent a Winnebago. ?![]()

I had NO idea that they make toys that huge… thought my forklifter from the early 70‘s was THE BiGGEST toy ever ?Hmmm, did someone mention Ranger and Tonka in the same breath? I saw this today up in my hometown and just had to share it.

Hey, Richard, I've seen (and admired) a lot of Everests while traveling in Asia but never had a chance to ride in one. I have been hoping (or rather dreaming) that Ford would bring them to the U.S. Looks great; how's the ride?Parked next to myself. Ranger truck meet Ranger SUV.

The ride seems quite good. I am guessing the added weight of the suv body and extra seats helps. But real happy with it. It gets about 30 mpg.Hey, Richard, I've seen (and admired) a lot of Everests while traveling in Asia but never had a chance to ride in one.

Now ya did it!I had NO idea that they make toys that huge… thought my forklifter from the early 70‘s was THE BiGGEST toy ever ?
can‘t remember the jingle here in germany.Now ya did it!
During the after school kid shows and Saturday morning cartoons, there were kid oriented commercials, including Tonka Toys. I still remember the jingle, and it will be an ear worm ("continuous replay" in my head) the rest of the day. That one, and, for those that grew up in the greater Twin Cities region, Lunch with Casey Jones' birthday song. One one the oldest agriculture and construction toymakers was Buddy L and later Ertl also were popular
Everybody sing along!
For those who want real lifelike toys
That they can operate too
Yes sir, boys it's Tonka Toys
They're made just for you!
Happy, Happy Birthday to every girl and boy
Hope this very special day brings you lots of joy
Hope the birthday presents
That you get from Mom and Dad
Will make this very special day
The best you've ever had!
But I digress...
