I see at least at least couple Rangers, now...every time I'm out!

I forgot what it’s called but I studied that in Psyc. It’s your brain it’s triggered to find things that you were not looking for before. When I had a Dodge Challenger, that’s all I would see. All of a sudden I see more and more challengers. Then when I got my ranger, I feel like I see more and more of them

At lunch today I saw a blue Ranger involved in a slight accident in front of the Chick-Fil-A in Dawsonville on Ga 400.

The Ranger looked like it was barely damaged if at all but the small SUV it hit looked a bit worse for the wear.

Don’t nobody say nothin’ about the way I park anymore. This guy’s got me beat(gray Ranger)?
And here I thought folks taking 2 spaces were "hogging".

4 spaces is downright greedy.

But seeing as how it appears to be out and away from everybody and there's plenty of other spaces open...:thumbsup:

Saw a blue ranger with Texas plates (won't publish but should) eastbound on US 98 in Gulf Breeze Florida. Driving like a maniac. Not just having a little fun. I get that. Late 20s maybe 30 ish WM from when I saw him coming way behind me to out of sight past me--very impressive dangerous idiot, brake lights as far as I could see from others avoiding him. If he kept it up going to Texas he probably didn't make it.

do you have some crazy door gaps going on there, or did you put on some edge protection?
It’s the “L” shaped door edge guards, I’ve used on my last 3 cars.

I took off the clear plastic tape edge guard that I originally installed that allowed paint damage right through it; and
I also do not use the “U” shaped edge guards anymore. After taking off 2 vehicles, the paint was etched from grit getting inside it.

Yes…it’s a form of “situational awareness” ??‍?

Finally saw my first Saber Ranger today. I was headed to an estimate and spotted this one about to get on the highway. They're from FL so it looks like I'm still the only one in my area with the Saber color. I love having a unicorn. ?

Shameless plug but look at that 303 Graphene shine on my hood. The reflection is like a mirror. ?:cool:
