The inspector at the plant that makes those toilets use to work for Ford in the same capacity.
That explains it all - it has now gone full circle (much like the water in the bowl). =p

I got the Ranger 2+ years ago to be able to haul stuff. BUT ... there was that ridiculous and poorly engineered bed rake making for an entirely too tall of a tailgate. =(

Or was it all planned exactly like that?!?

Because today, that too-tall-of-a-tailgate with nefarious engineering turned out to be perfect.

Perfect for this very moment of my life! *angels sing*

once my manly physique was on the tailgate, it was pretty damn near flush (!) with that cart making it an easy 120 pounds to load

Very nice picture and sounds like you went on a little adventure :sunglasses:
it can be a little challenging to find in western Ohio, but once you know where to look it suddenly is abundantly available! There were definitely a few times I saw some ruts that I thought, “no way I can get out of that alone if I slide into that” but I suppose that just means I need to open the wallet and buy some mods to handle it. Right??

Remember the bed rake for purpose. Shit always runs downhill. ?

Daughter turned 15 today and got her permit. Her first time driving on public roads. Of course it was in the Ranger!

But, were you brave enough to turn off all of the driver assist features?

I remember when my daughter got her permit. I only let her drive the 86 Civic Si, no power steering, no ABS, no assist of any kind, just direct steering, 3 pedals and a manual transmission as it should be for a first car. She was at Auto-x events on her permit, which meant that I had to ride with her, so I got the see the course at speed from the passenger seat. Once she had her license she could co-drive my 84 Civic 2000S (B20Z swapped 1500S)

Nothing special but our weekly Sam's Club run for a few things. Noticed this sign inside and while I still had 3/4 of a tank I had to fill up at these prices! o_O

Anyone wanna bet they'll start going up after Tuesday? :lipssealed::curse:

Not all dump runs are glamorous, but all are glorious! =D

I would just put that all out at the curb with a sign beside it. “Free Powder Room - Some Assembly Required”

I drove to Seattle and back from Beaverton Oregon. I left on Halloween morning for a meeting at my corporate office and came home yesterday. I got 24 MPG which was frigging awesome. I have a UNLEASHED tune and in town only get 16 mpg. It's only 4 miles to work so Lucille hardly gets warmed up during the week. The trip total was 377 miles. It just pored rain all the way home so with 24 mpg was super great. I had the cruise control set at 69 most of the way both ways. I do love my Lucille!!!
