bored with my Ranger
you guys ever get bored with your truck?
I dunno, I am getting paid pertty well right now and working non-stop. I have money to put into it, but it feels like a waste. `02 2wd xlt 3.0l feels pointless to put money into.
I think I want something completely different. What do you guys do when you get bored with your truck?or do you?

Maybe you just haven't done anything with it lately so it kinda took a back burner. A new mod might rekindle something for you and the ole girl. I think an appearence change might be the thing. Something that makes it feel like a whole new look. A decent set of wheels or something. Nothing too flashy but help to make it more you and less stock looking. I really like that Island blue and would hate to see it go.

Def don't want a Bigger truck, biggest I would ever go is like a midsize Colorado.
I'm tosing around the idea of a scooby or C230 kompressor.
I never use my bed anymore, the last time I used my truck box was as a redneck cooler for 110 corona's at the jimmy buffet concert. I don't go offroading, I want 4 doors for passengers. I want something with class

I'm kinda in the same boat, would love a 4 door- as I dont use my truck bed, dont even drive it like a truck.. my temporary cure: i've got an '06 Fusion to drive around in for this week; pretty damn peppy little car for a 4 banger, the automatic in this car is so responsive- all for free, thanks to the lady that hit my passenger's door

I wouldnt say your 93 was heavily modified to the point where you lost money when you traded it in. It was essentially a stock truck with maybe one or 2 exterior mods..

Different people look at vehicles differently.
For me, I like modding my truck, if for nothing other than I like doing things with my hands. I like building stuff, I like upgrading things to be different or better than they were before. I'm very interested in anything automotive and use my truck to learn and as a source of entertainment.
My dad, however, uses his car to get form point A to point B, and as long as it does that, he's fine with it. He could afford a nice car like a BMW 3 series, but he drives a Honda because it does what he needs it to do without anything more.
If you don't mod your truck very much and it doesn't do what you need it to do, find something that suits your needs better.

my advice.. grab one of those coronas,..sit back and write an ad..sell it to a kid with just enough money and the urge to own his(or her) very first vehicle. then go pic up something fun and sleek and shiny and roll up to the clubs and pimp the beezies..
I have a dinstinct feeling that our defenitions of classy are somewhat different. But how bout a new charger..all blacked out?? could be fun eh?

Beemers and mercedes are cool, but just not me..Its ford, and its got a bed..
