I have a few cars that I miss but no rangers. If I ever got rid of mine, it'd only because of some MAJOR MAJOR structural damage of some kind. I've had this thing the longest and I've got a lot of sentimental times wrapped up in it.

As far as missing a sold ranger, I have a friend who owned a '90 Ranger back in high school and I miss that truck a lot. It was fun being stupid teenagers in that old thing. When I got mine, it was crazy how much burning oil off the engine (2.9!) and cloth seats brought back memories!

He had an 01 that he recently got rid of. Great truck too!

yup it was a sharp truck... a lil underpowered with the 2.0.....an old boss of mine that I run into every so often says he still sees it... the guy I sold it to lives in his neighborhood... my current ranger is a work in progress....going a different way with this one...rat rod build........... the other rig I miss was a 1970 mustang grande coupe, 351W auto trans, jacked up in the back with wide tires, glasspacks, lakewood traction bars, gold with black vinyl top, black interior

I still have the only one I would have regretted getting rid of...bought a sold a couple others but they were just beaters. One more is a project that I don't plan on getting rid of for a while, I would like to at least finish it someday lol.

1st: 1986 Regular Cab Long-bed 2.3 4x4 Full Manual with the TK5 Traded it because my mom told me that if I wanted to drive I had to get an automatic.

Which brings me around to my next Ranger, got it like 3 days after my 18th birthday and have been driving a stick since.:thefinger:

2nd: 1992 Regular Cab Short-bed 2.3 2wd Manual Traded it because I *thought* I wanted a Mustang. They're pretty much useless around here. Especially with a 3" drop. Still had fun with it though so not too bad.
