What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[TxOTRRanger]

Got an alignment. Front tires were wearing on the outside edges (yes I rotate them) and I just got new tires last Saturday.

You're taking care of it, that's what counts.

Picked up 40 heads of cabbage and 8 squash today. Pretty much filled the bed. This weekend we are making sour kraut for our church fall German Dinner next month. Takes 5 weeks to work. We are delivering the squash to another members house for them to prepare. We usually serve about 300 people.

Good on you Larry - save some sauerkraut for Dave - word is he loves it with Kielbasa!

We have a group of people over after church Sunday and make a party of it. I have 3 cutters, we take turns cutting, salting and pounding. Then there will be strange smells coming from my garage for a few weeks while it works. Oh, but it tastes good when it's done and and cooked up with the pork and the cabbage rolls.

Drove to the city and took a test drive on KGM Musso EV and asked offer for a trade.

Overall the Musso EV was quite a lot smaller, so compareable to the Maveric. No ladder frame, no bottom armor plates and only 7" clearance. Interior was pretty good, only issues were the back seat leg room (especially for the middle seat) and the roof tapering towards center where a tall person would have head against the side.

400hp and 4WD was fine and flooring it got a 4 wheel spinning on wet pavement. Annoying to drive until taking off all the driver assist pling plong stuff, with those on it was like being in bad rave party.

But the offer was laughable, kind of offered me 15000$ less than market value for the Ranger as trade in.

Overall I'd say nice little EV pickup, but atleast the dealer in Finland is a catastrophe. I'd guess we will not see many of those on the road.

Have to wonder when the F150 will be coming to Finland... (hint to Fjord)

Big improvement over the initial new SsangYong Musso 4x4 we test drove in South Korea in early 1994. In Korean, 무쏘 Musso means Rhinoceros and many owners had a shiny metal Rhinoceros hood ornament. They only offered a manual transmission which my wife couldn't drive. So we bought a new 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 that was still going strong after 25 years of South Korean adventures.

South Korean autos have come a long way since the 80's & 90's.

OK, so now we know what the basis is for the meal that @DukeCanBuildit will be serving at the next party he's hosting at @AzScorpion place (wherever that happens to be). Time to stock up on German beers, y'all, there's gonna be a second Oktoberfest soon!

As soon as Oktoberfest winds down here in Kitchener, which might take a while - it’s about as German as a town can get - it used to be called Berlin until WWI, when the town decided to change the name.

Let me know if you need a second opinion on taste-testing brews for Dave's party.

Oh, yeah, that's me on the right picking him up. Would you believe that he only took a whiff of that drink? Didn't even sip it...

That bartender wouldn’t serve me anymore after LaBalbe picked me off the floor so I had to head to the Circle K for beer
