I don't think theres a problem of ' working on an engine ' with the Ford 4.0, I have no problems changing my plugs every bottle or so..
I love takin money from those RICE owners as well.

One of my friends is a HUGE import fan, has this "race club" full of imports... he had a "meet" tonight at his place, so I decided to go... the looks I got from them when i showed up were awesome... i kept getting the "what do you have done to that thing" line. Smoked an 00 Explorer Sport tonight, which I thought was odd, since he should have the same setup as me, minus the 4.10 gears

Still a Ford here, as well as they're fast! My friend Matt's neighbor, whom I've just recently started hanging out with, has a 91 with a remote turbo... ran a 14.1 at 105mph at 5800 feet above sea level last weekend

The fact it's not "politically correct" to tell someone their Jap car is a Jap car. The fact it's fashionable to bash American "owned" companies and then hide behind "My car was built here" is bull$hit. To many Americans have worked to hard over the last century to give us the way of life we enjoy just to turn your back on it. Toyota #1 car maker....I didn't think I would live long enough to see that. Everyone out there with a Toyota I hope you're proud of yourself...way to go.

I beat the snot out of my trucks and deserve any grief they give me back. I've always have and always will buy Ford. I've never owned anything other than a Ford, Mazda, or Mercury.
I had a chevy luv field beater once but I try to forget those days =]
On the toyota note.....I wheel with a guy who has an '05 lifted TacoTRD. He's got twice the amount invested into the thing than I have into mine yet I'm the one who has to be the lead truck, I'm the one who has to pull him out, and I'm the one that catches **** at the end of the day for owning a Ranger. He still has the nerve to act like his truck is the hottest thing on four wheels. He's never had to pull me out though
I respect the fact that he actually uses it but damn.
He thinks his truck is hot **** when in all reality it's just a cold TuRD.

As someone mentioned in an earlier post ' Its a fashon statement to bash American products '. We all see these idiots walkind down the street with Starschmucks coffe cup in their hand, getting in their Volvos', BMW's, Toyotas.. Shopping at Walmart and then complaining about how bad they have it..
Heaven forbid, The American Auto industry stopped making cars and trucks so they could aid our Warmachine in making tanks, jeeps and aircraft parts when the ***** and Japs were looking towards world domination.
In the late 70's, The Japs called the American Auto workers Lazy and makers of inferior products. I can go take pics of no fewer then 5 or 6 of those UAW trucks on my street right now, still running and being used. Wheres the Rice/Kraut products from that time if they were so great?
Even after being taxed to death ( while rice companies are given shelter for opening up plants here ), That alledged ' godly ' TuRD ' ( nice acronym l2en
) still costs more then a Ranger and it doesn't compete in ' Bang for the buck ' performance ( after making a sizable profit to go back to Japan, where they subsadise the costs of their cars for their people ).Its just ' Bad ' these days to say anything good about this country or support its products. How Noble.
