well, I just figured I'd let everyone know.. I'm going to stick with my Ranger for a while.. just too nice to get rid of and pulls very close to 30 MPG.. might even add a Hurst shifter and lower it 2/3, just enough to bring the tires into the wheelwells more as right now, theres almost 1' of empty wheelwell on the rear and very close to that on the front.. I'll just keep the car within a 50 mile radius for now... AAA plan covers up to that for towing IF I should need it
