Killing time getting a couple of parts that were part of the purchase agreement today, and getting my hood adjusted. At this dealership there is a Ford Garage located 100 ft from the service dept, and I got sucked in for a pork bbq sandwich. I kinda liked the utensil clamp. Afterwards checked out a couple of 2021 Rangers, and the rapid red metallic looked great in the sunlight. As did the velocity blue.
I might have to make a bench like this for area by front door.

Whoever is in charge of parking the vehicles should be fired, 3 spots for a ranger?

You should check out the bar the one in Fort Myers has a ice rail to keep your drinks cold, pretty nifty i think its a franchise thing so they should all have them.

@Tracy Bowman is in charge of parking at that dealer.

I see dealers doing that when inventory is low - fill up the lot by keeping LOTS of space between vehicles. Conversely, when they have lots of inventory, they pack them in full, with very little space between vehicles.

If they have the room, it's genius. No door dings.
It was a joke, i understand why they arrange cars certain ways.

I was at the dealer today and saw a Rapid Red 5.0 Mustang GT that was calling out to me....lol.
I was shocked that the sticker on the window of that Mustang was only $1K more than a Lariat Metallic Ranger. That was after all the nano coatings and upgrades to both. Doesn't seem right that a Ranger mid-sized pickup would be just a bit less than a 460 HP muscle car....hmmm.

Secret agent, man
3 spaces for a Ranger is fair for social distancing from other Rangers.

I myself have been known to take 2 on occasion.
I always thought the painted lines were just a suggestion. ?

That looks perfect for getting it hung up on a parking curb, then when you back up you rip it off.

Before I bought my Ranger I test drove a Ranger, F-150, and Mustang GT at local dealership. Got the side eye from the salesman for my cross shopping, but practicality won out.

New Ford Performance bottle opener...:turkey:
But the amount of trust the bottle holder is required to have that the driver is in reverse and not drive, is beyond my comprehension.
