Hello all,

New to this forum. A little about myself. I just aquired a 1990 Ford Ranger 4.0 ltr from and inheritance. It was good timing. I had a 04 Dodge Neon that was destroyed in an accident. Before anyone says anything, the car may have been destroyed in the accident, but did save my life. I was rear ended at a stop light by someone in an el camino doing about 50(after skidding from 200 feet) when he hit me.

I am also going to buy a new car soon. I have narrowed down to 2 cars. A mustang GT deluxe or dodge charger. I am at this point leaned towards the Mustang. Between the cost of the vehicle and insurance, there isn't much of a difference financially. MPG's are the same. HP's is a 40 more on the charger, but with the proper mods can get more. And I prefer 2 door than the 4 door. I am thinking 2 to 3 months when I do buy.

Thank you, I figured you guys do a good job with the Dodge site, this should be a good place for ford owners. I see it is still in the growing part. Not as big as DF

My great uncle, he is, sad to say dyeing. It is a wonder that he has lived this long. 87 with heart problems. And for a 15 year old truck, it is in good shape. He is one of them guys, like myself, that takes care of vehicles to the T.

The system, I put in. I work under the same company that owns infinity as well, so I get killer prices on a bunch of stuff. Infinity, JBL, Harman Kardon. I love where I work. Heck, today for employee appreciation, we are getting free Carl's Jr lunch. Woohoo
