I don't know why they have to jack up the truck so much. Most people
don't go off roading with them.

You're right. Most girls use them as a grocery getter.



I don't know about that. I've had three Rangers. For their size I
think they were one of the best trucks made. I towed a car trailer
loaded with the John Deere tractor with one of them. I don't recommend
it and wouldn't drive it very far but it handled it ok for the three or
four miles I had to tow it.

Best one I had was a "Level Three" or something like that. Heavier
suspension and a higher tow rating.

The Ranger which is a Mazda, with a ladder frame was a good truck. Maybe
looked better because it replaced the Courier. One of the really crap
trucks.

I think so. My old S-10 was an Isuzu. But GM owns a bunch of Isuzu. My
89 Aerostar was partly Mitsubishi. At least the crap Trany.

Mitsubishi was tied in with Chrysler for quite a while. I don't
remember the Ford relationship.

He was talking about what most girls use them for. You ain't a girl. Although, I guess if you wanted
to use the girls bathroom it would be OK.

Turd blossom? I haven't heard that since the 5th grade. Is that how far you've regressed?

That is a Psilocybin mushroom isn't it? It may explain a lot
