    From what I've seen with GM's lately, I would get the Ford. If I were buying a truck a little Ranger would be my most likely pick.

    Default The Ranger Wins

    I've decided to go with the Ranger. My company's dealer found the one I wanted, almost the exact one! So now comes the loan applications, and paper work galore! Its a 6 cyl. manual 4x4 extended cab pick up with a 6 disc CD changer, sliding read window, 60/40 split bench seats with a center consol that opens into a storage box. The bench seats actually are formed like bucket seats. So If me and the misses are cruising down the road and three circus midgets, or midgets of all kinds- don’t want to discriminate, need a ride or to get out of the cold, I can accommodate them with the bench seat and the two fold down jump seats which are in the rear. Needless to say, I'm wicked excited and wanted to share this with everyone. I hope this goes through smoothly. Car buying sucks , but this guy who buys all the Ford for my company is a good guy, and has made this experience as painless as possible. Well, here I am, counting me chickens before they are hatched. Getting back to cigars, what should I christen the new truck, knock on wood, with? Any opinions are welcome, but living in the USA, ISOM's are difficult to come by, but feel free to suggest anything else that I might be able to get at a B&M!

    Christen the new Ford with an Acid Kuba Kuba. The two (Ford and Acid) pair nicely together.

    Dude, thats just evil! But seriously, AF, Ashton, Davidoff, Macanudo, Padron, etc. I'm looking for something I haven't bought before and wouldn't be and everyday smoke, well except for Drew who smokes Cohiba IV's everyday for lunch!

    Fords are good trucks, till you break em in. New Fords have a history of problems. Also resale on a Ford is usually the worst. My dad has been a mechanic for his whole life and the place he works at can print out the "problems" list of any car or truck and Ford is always the worst.

    See, I am not trying to be EVIL. Damn Fucktard tried to blow by me in a FORD today.I swerved to the right of him. Dude had balls (i will say that) We raced a block (almost wrecked when he entered it) as I was entertaining... he took a slight lead coming out. Then I hit the gas heading toward the main road. No contest 295 vs. 190... V6 vs. v8. Dude swerved i hitting the peddle. He knocked out my neighbors mailbox in almost 360 fasion, THEN he appologized. I told him to appologize to the source which was not home. Fucktard had the balls to say: "Hey that mailbox was in my way". what a prick.

    Congrats on the truck. You went American, so that speaks volumes about you. I am a proud chevy owner (if you cannot tell) so that is that. Granted- a ranger is no match for a full size of anything- but this prick had it wrong from the get go.
