I forgot my wallet at home... which means I've been driving without my license all day. I can't remember the last time I've done that. I was really guilty of doing it when I had my permit.

Better than my original thought of someone stole it out of my back pocket while I was kneeled down welding today and I didn't notice. That would've been a $150 loss for me.

I always wonder how people forget their wallets. I mean, it's a pretty noticeable weight, right?

Also, buy a Ranger and do an Ecoboost swap.

Could be worse, the DMV (called the DPS here) never sent me a license renewal letter like they did for my dad. So I may have drove with an expired license for awhile...

My excuse is it was 6:30 in the morning, dark in the house, it wasn't in my work pants like it normally is, and the last thing on my mind was whether or not my thin wallet was in my back pocket, because it usually is.

I should. 2.3T or maybe 2.7T.

Whoops for me was when I realized I didn't have my wallet on me but I DID have my .38 tucked in my belt. That would have resulted in a whole lot of whoopses

Thin wallet is your problem. Get a larger one!

/Bad advice

How much do those motors go for, anyway? Although I imagine making/getting mounts would be the hard part.

Nope, I'd be that guy who LS swaps a ranger. Fuck that 5.0 noise.

Nope, I'd do a GM 3.6TT before anything.

Right now, they only have the 2.0 litre for sale. Or you could wait for someone to crash a new Ford.

I've always wondered, where do you find all these manufacturer photos of mid-2000s domestic cars?

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 01/09/2015 at 14:56

Did it all the time with permit also, only maybe once every couple months w/ actual license.

netcarshow.com , Literally a website dedicated to press photos from nearly every manufacturer.

But the 5.0 is so easy to put in there. Get a 5.0 from and Explorer and you can use the harness.

Seems like there's a lot of talk about doing it, but I can't find anything that's been done yet.

exactly the same results when i searched. I am really starting to like my ranger. I probably drive it more than my other car! which some might look at me funny for doing so.

it's something that SHOULD be done!

I've seen them with 351Windsors crammed in them.

one can only imagine what gas mileage and capabilities it would have with a more modern engine and a 6th gear.

It would be a massive improvement in both areas.

I would be all for a relaunch of a Ranger with smaller ecoboost engines, but I think they'd be smart to make a 5.0 version.

I'm now hooked. I hate and love you. I'm confused.

It's quite possibly the best and worst thing I've ever stumbled upon.
