Current Events > I ended up not buying that 1999 Ford Ranger

(+) Yeah! (+)

No idea if there was anything wrong with it or not, I just realized I really didn't need a little truck when my Fiesta is perfectly fine, and I have access to at least two (albiet, rather large) trucks through my father.

It'd be nice, but I really can't justify spending the money on something I don't really need. Especially when I could get a fairly new Honda Shadow for only a 1000 dollars more.

Seems like a reasonable decision. Im cruising in a Fiesta also. Managed a four-day camping trip for a family of four, with over 500miles of driving on that trip, without any trouble. Little cars work just fine.

Yeah the only problems I ever heard about with Fiestas have to do with the automatic transmission system, but I bought a manual one so *shrug*

I can drive for almost 3 weeks without having to gas up if I baby it, and even then it only costs like 30 bucks max to gas up (and that's when gas prices are outrageous) so that's pretty great to me.

Save your litecoin for something better

In the future if you do decide on a tiny truck the ford rangers from the 90s are some of the best. My dad got his first ranger in the early 90s and it's the only vehicle he buys when he needs a new one. Each one lasted well over 200k miles
