What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[pbethel]

Have I mentioned I have BMW also?

I never would have suspected you were a Bimmer owner.
You park crooked (so do I) but you only take one spot.
The centerline of the car doesn't belong on the line between two spots.

There was also a totally black BMW which I sold.
Parking a Ranger or some other big vehicle it’s easy but what I struggle are these small cars.

Hauled another GM land yacht around last night

It's also cheaper and less time consuming than buying at stations & convenience stores. I like to take raw mixed nuts, natural cheese, dates and fruit for snacks, and of course plenty of natural spring water when I travel.

You are spoiled Dave!!!!!

update: i was contacted by dealer today. they are still diagnosing. the email was the "initial" check in for fluids and codes supposedly? mkay... but they did confirm what we all know now. the rough shift no shift stuck in gear jerking issue is well known to the service dept. and ford. they said a new pcm is out to help the issue. i have serious doubts it will help in the long run. my hunch is this is just a reset relearn that many have already done only to have the issues return. they are checking out the center support bearing and i gave them the replacement i got from benny so it was not a "waiting for parts" game. I also asked them to check the transmission fluid and level. said they would. so am i still pissy not as much. at least they are doing something. will it be fixed correctly the first time around, i doubt. but if it does end up a one and done im sending the service writer cutie some thank you flowers.

Had a bit of an adventure yesterday. Portland, OR, received its second highest snowfall on record. Got a call from the missus at 4pm who was stuck in it and had to abandon the old Mazda B Series by the side of the freeway. RWD no good. Saddled up the Ranger and bravely headed off into the eye of the storm on a rescue mission lol. Her phone died but eventually found her. Then it took us 5-6 hours to get home to her mum’s, normally a 25 min trip. Like the end of the world out there. Cars abandoned and stuck everywhere (never buy a Prius lol they were truly lost). And I’ve never seen a truck jackknife before. Luckily it was on the opposite side of the freeway which was sheet ice. Makes you realize how close we are to chaos if Mother Nature decides to have a tantrum. Anyway, God bless the Ranger which got us home safely. It was a true champ. And fair play to the stock Hankooks! Never been so glad to have a 4x4.

Yeah, snow like that cripples cities but the Ranger will plow right through. It's the stuck cars that make it a pain in the ass.

This right here brings back so many memories of living back east. I know it doesn't happen every winter but having lived through 50+ years of this and then snowmobiling in upper Maine and Canada I'm glad I don't have to deal with it now. Then there's always that one knucklehead who "thinks" because he has 4wd he can still drive fast in it. ?‍

It's extremely hot here in the summers and I know a cliché but you don't have to shovel sunshine!

Winter 2010 Detroit Michigan...trying to get to work and spent two hours on a ice covered I-94...traveled 1/2 miles and figured it would take me two days to get to office...got off the next exit and went home...

The one knucklehead I saw...driving 60 on sheet ice while trucks were jackknifed on the other side...was...drum roll...A TACO driver!

Not at all surprising. They were dumb enough to buy a Taco I wouldn't expect them to be smart enough to drive slow on ice. ?
