Finally got to wash her after last month's Typhoon. The Governor put a mandate to conserve water as our island recovers from the recent Typhoon that hit our island... now she's all cleaned up. =)

6G Raptor week 40, Wildtrak `22 2.0 diesel - sold
Got her to service. New oil, check up, diagnostics. Third in less than a year. The diagnostics I run on her were correct and I read all data also correct, but I got the explanations for error codes and grey area questions where no logic seemed to work. Also there was stated at some point she is in better condition than tech has seen other trucks (this note clearly wasn’t meant directly for me, just saw it myself). I can imagine I’m not an easy customer with all kind of really specific questions, but I’ve never met an employee there who knows less than me. Still, I’ll keep my eye on her closely as her history is not so clean.
Maybe I am a little over caring truck-mommy? Nah, can’t be. Now the hardly noticeable chip on roof I found last week while waxing her. It’s still a chip… A defect.
Life must be really easy for people who know nothing about their vehicles and just pay for services.
Oh, and I saw a Bronco. Didn’t know they even sell it. Looked amazing! Price tag starts from 83 to 88+ thousands.

Here’s a Toyota driver who obviously hates Rangers. We were both over speed limit.

A defect? Better get a new truck. :p

Your drivers are just like the ones in the states. :wink:

Oh, c’mon! Leave me be. I’ll get a new one. There will be a Raptor. Without any defects.

I am a decent driver. All Ranger drivers on this road I know are decent.
He was not. And he drove Toyota.

Wash day...
Started about 6:30 am this morning and done before the sun hit so no water marks. I like to wash by hand using the 2-bucket method to get in some extra exercise. Use Mr. Pink car wash and it works well. Water not beading up much this wash so will Wax this afternoon with Meguiar's nXt Gen. Tech Wax 2

It would not look nearly as good if it had 4 doors! Nice.
