Sorry I missed my Saturday check in but I was out of town with no internet. As of this past Saturday it was 175 days and 7523 miles and still smiling.

2,000 miles and still smiling.

I think I smile the most when I drive the Ranger to one of Delaware's state parks or PA's Longwood Gardens to go hiking. When the weather's nice, I like to hang out on the tailgate afterwards, open the doors, crank the B & O, and drink iced tea.

(I was initially considering buying a Bullfrog "kicker" speaker system from Ford Accessories for times like this, but some of the members who had taken delivery before me said in another thread that the B & O had plenty of "kick" on its own--they were right, and saved me a bundle!)

Went to Home Depot today and got two compliments on the truck in the span of about 5 minutes. The second was followed by a, “what is this anyway?”. When I said it’s the new Ranger, there was a silent pause, followed by a, “Wow!”

Those kinds of reactions rejuvenate the smile every time.

There was a time when almost every single time I stopped to get gas, some random other patron would come up out of the blue and ask me about the truck. It's started to wain a little bit now that there are more on the road, but still happens from time to time.

I was pulling out of the the parking lot at the YMCA the other day after an early morning swim. I stop to let an elderly gentleman wearing an "Eagles" hat (the football team, not the band) walk by. He looks up, smiles a big smile, and gives me the thumbs up sign. No words exchanged, and none needed. He liked my truck!

Spent the whole day on the wash, clay bar and wax. 2000km on it and still smiling!
Looks slick! (Literally and Figuratively)

What wax did you use?
