Everyone here has Rangers that they love to drive or play with. But what is your vehicle/vehicles you have? Can be a toy, project, anything with wheels and an engine.


Mine is a 2004 Jeep Wrangler that I picked up earlier this year. Has a few things done to it.

My other project is a 2013 Nissan Xterra 4x.. with 72k on the clock. Although while having a complete Shrockworks skid set in a box waiting to be both filmed and photos taken while installing it, a few small nick naks like recovery gear and a fire extinguisher necessary Its mostly stock for the moment...

I have never been fond of Jeeps, but I have to admit, that is a REALLY good looking one!

I had a CJ7 back in the early 80's. It was cold in the winter, hot in the summer, got lousy gas mileage and had a rough ride. But it was a fun vehicle.

My wife likes CRV's, we bought a 2017 like 3 days after they hit the dealerships in 2016.

1.5L Turbo, has 190HP. Don't expect the fuel economy they boast it's hogwash. In the ballpark 25.7 average, doesn't seem to matter much if you are city or highway honestly.

I play car musical chairs a lot, I've owned close to 30 vehicles in the last 10 years, currently I have my B4000, my wife has her 2011 ford flex, and then I have my project car, a 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege. 


2L of turbo charged FWD goodness.

My close friend Sean has a 2003, that charcoal finish.. 17k on the clock still.. we did so much to that car when he first got it.. what a blast. 


I kept trying to talk him into going all out with it; forged internals the whole bit but he was very reluctant to go beyond bolt on and easier stuff. 
I have to admit, it still has a new car smell in it..

Seriously? only 17k on the clock? that's crazy! I'll buy it from him for $2000... 


I plan on eventually rebuilding the engine with forged, and getting it up around 280hp, so that way I'm at about 1hp/10lbs. Should make for a very very fun car. but that is way down the road. I just posted a video of the work I did to it over last weekend.

You know that' basically a boosted and better looking Ford Escort Sedan right? Same SOHC 2.0l down to the pistons and bearings. It' what ford should have done on their own rather than the Focus even tho the Focus SVT was a blast on the track..


The Mazdaspeed 3 is still choice in my book. And haha, Sean wouldn't let that thing go for $20 albeit.. it' still like new in every way except modded. Trust me, I tried and we're like brothers after all these years.

This is my 'everyday vehicle' during non-snowy months:
'86 BMW R80 with, now, about 134k miles on it, a shade over 50k of them mine.  Photo taken in, uh, somewhere in Oklahoma a couple years ago.
I've also got a 2016 Mazda 3 out in the driveway- don't seem to have any photos of it, but it's a base model hatchback, in dark metallic blue.  Nice looking car, good on gas, and fun to drive with the 6-speed.  I didn't exactly set out to own it, but it kinda landed in my lap at a price I couldn't pass up- so I didn't.

I'd post photos but its such a pain with photobucket being down.

See signature for current rigs though.

The 17 super duty is the family rig
the hyundai is the wifes DD.
The ranger is my DD and soon to be my sons rig
the 94 cobra is the wifes toy
the 68 mustang is a family heirloom and garage queen
the 01 lightning is a track whore and garage queen
the 93 lightning is about to be my dd.

Ya, I know. But all my pictures are buried on a laptop somewhere. I started using a tablet a while ago and almost never dig my laptop out unless im doing some tuning on the lightning. I think I have most on my phone.
