    Thumbs up New Daily Driver

    So i picked up a new DD. Last was a 94 f150 4x4. the trans was slipping and it was losing lots of power on hills, ah hell i could make a list a mile long with what was wrong. lets just say an argument with a hyundai was the final straw. hyundai lost that fight by the way. so i went into a lot looking for a ranger and drove away with this








    oh and if it is free the plate is gonna be GREASE

    i wonder who will get that

    Good looking truck!

    Although it seems to me Greased Lightning needs to be an older classic.

    Good Luck on the plates.

    See, me, I'd wind up changing the exhaust, then upping the boost, then swapping a Whipple on it, and then have to buy something else because my daily driver was no longer daily drivable. This is why i stick with a 20 year old 2 wheel drive pickup- i know me too well. Nice truck, though.

    As long as I live I will never forget the night we hurt some dude's feelings in a 2001 Camaro SS 6 speed with a 2001 Lightning. He refused to believe the L was stock. We raced him (on a track in controlled conditions of course. ) three times and the last time he didn't even come back to the parking lot..err. I mean pits. He just kept driving home to do what we can only assume was order Mods for his car.
