    I drove around the block, did a couple thousand feet of 4x4, ran the a/c, then the heater, even did some time in low range. Cause its been cold, and thats hard on batteries. Started the buell, and took it to town and back. But put the battery tender back on it, cause neither have been started in over a week. All the batteries have been topped off.

    The ranger is hurting the most. Cant hold high idle, backfires into the intake, kills itself until it starts to shimmy then kicks itself awake. I'm betting the injectors, cause fuel pump and filter and plugs and wires are fairly newwish.

    I went home from the dealer in it, does that count? I bought it off my dad in 2014 and DD'd it until I found my car. Before that my dad only drove it on the weekends, he and I slept in the back together a ton on camping trips.

    setup a gofundme. We'll build the ranger for 24hrs of lemons, and turn 3 cars into a twin engine push me/pull me supercar. We can even put the passenger in charge of rear steer.

    I've got a Corolla just like Noah's, just a lesser trim. It doesn't get driven much more than my Tundra at this point...

    Tundra does the heavy lifting. Usually involving trailer and miles. It’s been to Wisconsin ALOT. Kentucky next..

    Thats why i settle for want. I'm solvent as is. Id rather throw my money at the tundra than the ranger. Hell, i'd bet the titan would be more fun with a drop and traction bars than the ranger. The ranger sucks on multiple levels.

    but nissans and toyotas arent powered by overbuilt 2.3 sohc's or 1600 kents.

    I sometimes miss our 02 Corolla. It was hard for me to justify insurance on 3 vehicles and something was wrong with it. Everyone else in that generation reported getting close to 40mpg and I could never get over 30. It had a check engine light on that read an issue with the cats. I always assumed that's why it got bad mileage(relatively).

    so, i've got 10 or so vehicles, but i have LO insurance on the buell and the titan right now, but i get on the app and swap to both buells, or the buell and the tundra, or tundra and jeep, usually get an image of an insurance card within 2 hours. And all my junk is worthless and old, so its cheap.

    nvm, both buells are always covered. 2nd bike was an extra $12/year.

    and eff the bastards charging me $12 if i live.

    They're nice little cars. The best MPG I've gotten is around 34 MPG and the worst is 27 MPG so I really can't complain. If I was still daily commuting I would inevitably upgrade to something newer, but at this point it's so cheap for me to own.

    My sister had an 01 Camry XLE with a V6 that was my Grandpas. Sunroof, leather, XLE. Would love to have that car instead but she got into a few accidents.

    Mid 00's acura TL. The j32 was an amazing v6. C30 CL was fun, too. But my buddies TL was a 6 spd swap and had pipes. His dumb ass got a ticket for doing 80 in a 60 when he was doing 130 in a 60, and we had to watch that cop pass 20 18wheelers on a 2 lane strech of road.

    I just finished rebuliding the 3rd with the LSD and the 4.88's. Glad I hadn't installed it yet. Oh yeah, didn't you wanna buy back the LSD if I got a locker?
