My ranger has less than 2 months

before its getting traded in...

My rents wanna get rid of it and i have no say in this since they pay for it...

Ill most likely be getting my dads 06 Scion XB which has like 15k on it and has 100k warranty.

With gas being as high as it is i guess im not complaining but i will miss my truck if they do follow through with this

Don't let gas prices control your life! I'm putting a 302 in my Ranger...do you think I'm expecting good gas mileage?

i cant afford my truck anymore i drive way tooo much and everywhere to have a pick up. The scion will cost me like 25 bucks to fill up and last me a lil longer than the ranger which costs me 45-55 to fill up and lasts me 250 miles on a tank.

I told my parents the only way ill let them get rid of my truck is they have to get an SUV cuz i need something to pull my jet skis with and my boat when i buy it this summer

I would do it. Cant complain about it if it's free. Hell right now i would drive a car instead of this fuel hog truck i drive now. And wtf is up with gas prices. Friggin $2.97 a gallon up here and is expected to hit $4-$5 by summer!!!!! I hope those rich bastards in the oil business get socked with all the taxes for this crap.
