What did you do to your Ranger today?

[TxOTRRanger]

Traded it in I don’t know the term, it when putting 50-70% pedal power the gears would “flutter”? The RPMS would “flutter” within a 300 RPM range at 2500-2800. Little needle was going back and forth. Had all the occasional slam when putting into reverse. Maybe once a few months at very low rpm’s shuddering but nothing like this.

I will really really miss the truck. It was so bittersweet I wasn’t happy for a couple days. But I guess I had a tear of joy driving this now…

Man, I know that you are going to miss your truck, but I like the new ride. The blue looks sharp on that Mustang.

Yeah honestly still coming to terms with the Ranger leaving. It was my absolute favorite vehicle with so many memories built into it. This blue is the biggest reason I decided to splurge a little. Maybe dealing with the heartbreak but who knows Adriatic blue metallic is what they call it.

I tell you what, I'd drive it lol. Although I don't know if it would stand much of a chance against this old washboarded gravel road that I live on.

@dondonbabyraptor - that Mustang is sa-weeeeeeet! Congratulations!

There will come a day where you'll need to rent a home depot truck or phone a friend, sure. But that 5.0 seems like a fairly sufficient coping mechanism for missing the Ranger. Enjoy it and stay out of trouble.

That's the dad in me, I'm sorry

And to think all of the times that ya'll have seen my Dad or Grandpa come out in me on here lol.

No that's the neighbors Ford Probe. But the Edsel is behind it. Running it hasn't done in years. For the most part it's 90% Ford My Edsel is a 1959 Villager 9 passenger wagon.

We got about 15" during this storm. Now I'm seeing channel 6 weather is talkin about another storm coming on Monday. I hope it just rain. I've had my fill of snow for the year!!
A Ford Probe!! I haven't seen one of them in years. Does it run? Will you be fixing the Edsel, getting it in the road? That would be cool for summer car shows! Well whatever you do with it good luck, I hope you get it running.

Nice looking Mustang Brandon! I love the color and I'm sure it'll be wicked fun to drive but very hard to keep out of the pedal!

Now remember, you don't have to put Graphene Nano spray on it every week. lol The Graphene detailer is what you want to use.

Oh, don't be sorry for being a genuinely good person. That's why I still come back here after 5-6 years. Lovely bunch of humans here. Appreciate the good advice, been taking it easy and won't mod it until a year later. It's already too much too handle. The ranger had the benefit of being heavy as heck where you can't get in trouble so definitely re-adjusting. Even the brakes lol... Definitely not SQUISHY

Awesome choice Brandon! Watch out for those red lights in your rear view mirror.

Had a fun 2000 GT and made it without any tickets

Oh... you already know the next free day or crazy impulse I am gonna detail the crap out of it with the graphene. With each squeeze of grey beauty, I always think of my boy Dave. You with graphene or dampers is ICONIC.


Waiting for dealer to fix a key scratch looking thing deep into the paint then I will protect it with all my heart.

Beautiful ol' mustang. Honestly see where they get the inspiration for this color just a bit more "green or teal" mixed in. Just praying I also get no tickets, but honestly the more hp the more I take caution. So it's a weird spot to be in but a SAFE spot

Here is a 69 Mustang Coupe that Freiburger and Finnegan rescued from neglect in, I think season 12 of ROADKILL. Then while touring Washington D.C. ,they got pulled over by the Secret Service in front of the White House for the registration being outdated lol. Because ROADKILL.

Brandon, that thing is way off the charts gorgeous. Congratulations on such a beautiful ride. No more stealth camping in the back of the SuperCab for you.

Also, I’d say it’s time to hit the Roush website!
