Hi Dave, glad all is "ok". Some lady just hit me at the gas station on Wednesday. I was out of my car & she just rolled into mine. She got
out & started yelling at me , "why did you hit me" !!! Anyway, eventually
she realized what happened. Just a scratch, I'll wait for that 10k$ damage to claim.
So a new truck, you realize you get another 94k miles...... :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Dave,
It's great to have you back and to know you're all right! It's sad that you have to lose the Ranger but replacement is the only option with that damage.

Accidents are stressful and people get aggressive about it. I witnessed a minor scrape in a parking lot last week which was done unintentionally by an elderly lady who was nervous and upset about it. The owner was outraged and couldn't calm down. I gave my info. to the policeman to be a witness if needed. Sad that Saber is no longer an option and looking forward to seeing what you choose. I personally would go with Cyber Orange if it were still available.

Now that you’re back, things might get back to normal around here. It’s totally gone to hell in a hand basket.

Seriously, besides all the drunken posts by the usual suspects and a few questionable new folks, previously respected members are doing the wackiest things like trading their Rangers for cars - not performance machines - little family commuter cars.

Some have even bought other trucks! Someone traded for a new full size Chevy, another dumped his for an older, used GMC Sierra. A couple of guys got Frontiers and someone (dead to me now) had the nads to get a new Taco.

To give you an idea of just how badly people have lost it, someone actually got a Gladiator. A Gladiator!

And don’t even get me started about the latest addition to the family by a certain member from Colorado who bought a…..wait for it…..Hyundai Santa Cruz - with sidesteps, no less. At least he didn’t trade his Ranger for it. Did I mention it has sidesteps?

So, yeah, glad to see you’re back online so you can put an end to this madness.

Glad to hear you're OK. I imagine it could have been a lot worse if you didn't have all those layers of 303 on the paint.
And you better check the damper. By the way your rear axle got racked, the damper shaft may be bent....you might have total that as well.
Thanks Mark! See Ive been telling everyone here how great the 303 Graphene is and you can see that shine even through all the damage. lol Long live the damper! :muscle:?

Thanks! Sorry to hear about yours too. When I first got out of the truck the lady that hit me keys saying "I'm sorry, I didn't see you". It wasn't until her loser daughter and SIL took her inside and the daughter came out accusing me. At the time I think that upset me more because it was so obvious by the damage but it's done and over with and life goes on. ?

I've been waiting for Sids comment about the new truck going...??? :bandit:

Thanks Paul! I will miss the Saber color the most but unfortunately it was such a great color they discontinued it. ? I have a deposit on white Tremor now and just waiting for the final paper work to go through. There wasn't a lot of choices out there for what I wanted but I do like white so I'm good with it.

One dealer in CO has a blue one in transit but it's ETA is May 21st and I can't wait that long. Besides, I'd never hear the end of it from you know who.:rolleyes:?

Yessir!!!! Thought I was the man when we switched to woodland!
When I was in basic we were some of the first to get the BDU's. Was kind of strange to see the OD greens everywhere yet we were all camo'd up. But it also made us feel like da man too! ? Oh, except the field jacket. They didn't have BDU field jackets yet so we got green ones.

Back in da day. Damn guys.... we're getting old.

lol I was lurking here and there and saw some of these. I know Mark bought the Santa Cruz but it was a good deal for him considering what happened to their Kona. Now the side steps I didn't know about and certainly not something I'd mention. :lipssealed:

My main concern was that Tracy @Tracy Bowman and Paul @OrangeStreak both learned how to park. I don't think I could've come back from something so devastating as that! :surprised:o_O
