You know you're getting older when this math makes perfect sense.

Here's some basic math that only an older guy is likely to understand....
First you take one of these...

04GT vert...15 thousand on the clock...clean is an understatement.....damn this hurt

=

Thank god for......

ouch....

Man I feel ya. I traded in my 01 GT for an 03 Ranger in 03. My wife has MS and can't drive stick anymore but I did get the truck and a snowmobile out of it. I miss that car though.

 

[DMAN302]

plus the damn lease is up on my Aztec and I was looking to go into a nice little f150 4x4....now looks like a little fussion (damn and a fourbanger at that) is going to be in the driveway too...

 

[Bad92GT]

whats wrong with a ranger .. get a ranger.. good trucks. I drive a 4x4 everyday to school

[DMAN302]

Can't comfortably put a baby seat his stuff and wife in a ranger...trust me I've tried a buch of vehicles fussion makes best sense in most every way.

 

[whtpny]

Actually I really like the Ranger. Does what I need just fine. He is right though it is not a family vehicle.

 

[Lyncher]

That sucks!....jeez I havent been on here in a LONG ASS TIME!...been hanging out on fullsizebronco! Just bought a 6" lift, and soft top for her!

 

[timeless2]

At least it has a Blue Oval on it and none of the doors slide.

 

[88gt]

I've got a 2000 Ranger, 1988 GT and newly aquired '65 fastback....My kid is 10, carseat in the '88 was no fun at all when he had to ride in it. So much more fun now that he is older....looking at getting him a '63 bug... he's a lefty..what does he know....

 

[mob]

bwahahahahaha

hey atleast its a mini suv, your better off then Nick (poopdawg) who has to drive a minvan! hahahaha

 

[vikingpower]

Now I know why mom always told me to not get married 'till I'm 30. I think I'll do her one better and wait for 40...

 

[DEFWISH]

i don't understand why the stang can't be a good family car... i was Raised in mustangs and they worked out great. they are 5 passenger cars...

 

[HISSIN50]

.........and none of the doors slide.

Derek, would bolting a child seat to a roll cage not have worked?

Atleast Mrs Derek has a nice new winter ride.
For yourself, how about a bike with a sidecar for hauling kids and/or doggies?

Good luck with grabbin up another ummmm, errrrrrrr sensible ride.

 

[93 teal terror]

Like was said before.....I'd rather drive that than a van circa de un rio as farley would say. When I traded in my Mach 1 for my Ranger my gf was actually crying....or was that me

 

[DMAN302]

Yeah I know...actually I'm pretty fortunate in my life . I took the Freestyle out for the first time today, wife picked it out so she drove it home yesterday. Three rows of seating, DVD, tons of gagets...heated seats and a ride the 04Gt couldn't provide on a road smooth as glass...meh guess I'm happy with it..she love it. Makes me crave spring and opening that garage up all the more

 

[hsean]

thanks for buying a ford product you not only got something practical but sharp as well .

 

[93 teal terror]

I love heated seats...my 97 jeep had them...kinda feels like your peeing your pants but you know its ok. The guy across the road from me said his Expedition has air conditioned seats....that must be badass

Im kinda glad I got the truck. Now I actually have some time to spend on the 5.0 that was really neglected (sap all over the hood, etc.) Although yours looks like its about flawless...maybe time for a TT setup

 

[DMAN302]

flawless...not even close...twin tbos...hmmmmm
