I need to make a list of what needs to be fixed. So far that list is....

New power steering hose fitting

New passenger bucket seat bracket

Struts for the shell

New shifter knob

Oppo and SaveTheManuals stickers

I also need to get plates. Its insured and has a temporary thats good till January from the seller. But Is it normal to be worried about leaving it parked in front of my house? I live in a pretty good neighborhood, I think I have separation anxiety, lol.

Earlier tonight I was going through the glove box and I found stuff:

The original owner was doing his own oil changes and kept note of it on the back of the oil filter packaging. I also have maintenance receipts going back as far as 2000.

I also have all the original manuals. Turns out it was sold by a dealership that was owned by a family friend of ours... weird. That bundle of papers there... thats more maintenance records I havent gone through yet

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Also I just got a job working for SpecialBuick62's dad, he owns a catering business. Pays $10.50 an hour, I'd only be working weekends though. But that should pay for gas and insurance, plus I have a little savings

Don't worry about struts for the topper, those things are an eyesore get rid of it. You could get some cash for it.

Fair enough.

Go to a store like Home Depot and get a few (4) large tube sandbags for trucks. That will place extra weight over the drive wheels for snow.

My dad hates driving since he started taking Public Transit to work, so it was weird when He asked if he could drive it with me tonight. I think I may make him a jalop with this thing, I think He misses driving stick. We went on a little drive an hour ago. I drove one way, he drove back (because he begged). I was smiling the whole ride home, This thing makes me supremely happy.

Rangers are like that. I don't know why; mechanically they're nothing special, they churned out a quarter million of 'em each year, and they're slow as molasses. Yet somehow very satisfying to drive.
