Doesn't look like a 2000 Ranger to me. Looks like some orange peddeler south of the border.

Hoppy, I knew it wasn't you. I DID know it was from down south though. I've seen some strange things down south. Saw a guy on a grassy knoll (no, not Oswald's buds) whip out a pocket knife and then reach for a 12" long rat that he had obtained and begin the meal preporation process.

Well, after the war of nawthern aggression , twerent nuthin to munch on a rat evvy now and then. My wifes family are all from the Maggie Valley area of the North Carolina mountains . Ever see that movie "Cold Mountain"? Its about 10 minutes from there. You wanna talk food?? wow. Know the 3 second rule? You know, drop your piece of chicken ( or varmint) on the floor, if you ****** it up within 3 seconds its ok to eat? I think they go by the 3 hour possum rule there. If its less than 3 hours old on the road, its stew. I live down by Charlotte , which has around a gazillion people (mostly yankee carpetbaggers ) , so Im kinda citified. I prefer my possum a bit more fresh...

I told that story to an old Nam buddy of mine once, and he said there were lots worse things to eat than rats. He told me some of the things folks eat over there and I grossed out.

Sorry Hop, I just thought maybe you added a body kit to the Ranger that could be removed within a day and no damage......j/k

Could the truck be a Mazda (ford) or an Izusu (chebby)?

Hmmmmm..... looks like all it would take would be for somebody to scare the guy into jerking straight back, and we'd have a Darwin Award entry!
