Is there an eject button on this hell ride?

Yep. Don’t do it though. No way to make things better if you check out early.

Nah, you’re alright. Ignore them, keep posting. I enjoyed the read. Cheers, bud.

Yeah, too many people look at a truck and say to themselves: I think that’d do to take the kid to football practice and myself to the office!

They’re just not making trucks for working anymore, and I personally am pissed!
I suppose I really should think about getting a small/medium sized van… just irks me a bit. I guess growing up the only tradies using a van were painters, plasterers and glaziers. And folk with real jobs had trucks…🤣

I had a Mazda Pricidia (MX-3) for a few years before I bought the Ranger. Thing was great. I had the rear seat pulled out and got a joiner pal build a custom wooden bed to put in. Did double duty, was enough to hold a week’s worth of veneer stone and thinset plus my tools. Built-in storage boxes under the top. And with the front seats folded all the way forward there was an extra piece I could drop in, and all of a sudden you’ve got enough space for a double size inflatable camping mattress. I miss that thing.

Yeah, easy access to parts is pretty important.

…I had to look it up, it looks like one of the guys who worked on the design of the El Camino smooth talked someone in C-Suite that it was their own idea that releasing one that was modernised would sell super well. That might sound like I’m taking potshots, but I love the El Camino and I would buy a Jumbuck in a heartbeat.

that would need enough people to collude to break it.

And with the way things are going right now…shrugs

So an Astronomical Ass then, noted.

I mean Musk’s net worth is based on Hypetrain MemeStock that’s got value because people like the stupid shit he says. So why would this situation be anything else?

I’ve heard it was around 100.

Is THAT how they make the laptop variants?!?

Not enough folds. You can see his junk, 3/10, barely believable.

The Pilot was ugly as fuck, but from what I’ve heard they were basically indestructible to a certain point…then there was almost no reviving them. Been considering getting a decommissioned ambulance and changing my trading name to Dr. Stone…
Ambulance is basically set up for a mobile shop, 240 and 110, loads of drawers and cupboards, tie-down points and either a fold down ramp or a hydraulic tailgate. Ambulance services are always refreshing their fleet, they get worked hard, but there’s a maintenance standard so even with 180k miles on the Odo they’re typically not running poorly. Idk…maybe I’m talking myself into it, maybe it’s actually a good idea.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

I’m a sole trader, Stone Mason, I make enough to buy a used vehicle, but not new. Know what I would love? A light duty truck, no crew cab road princess bullshit, two seats in front, maybe a single half door passenger side for putting stuff behind the seats, and a properly sized bed. There’s no such thing on the used market. There’s absolutely uses for small trucks for trades folk. Back in Canada I had an older Ford Ranger, from when they were a rebadged Mitsubishi B3200. I would step over my dying gran for something like that here in the UK. The new Rangers are a fucking joke, FWD, crew cab standard, and they’re the size of the old F-150s, completely unusable in the UK. I’m thinking about maybe importing a Japanese Kei Truck. There’s some larger ones that are smaller than an old Ranger, but big enough for what I need…and they look cool AF.

Nuh uhn! It’s streamlining the woke removal with maximum efficiency^TM

stop using similar aliases for fucks sake.

But…but…why? The KEWL leet gamer handle I came up with when I was 13 is still cool now!
