I didn't answer the first one so here it is: 1995 Ford Ranger Splash, 90k miles, 4.0L, super cab, 2WD.

Also, this is my little project that kept me off the streets during my late teens: http://pages.prodigy.net/bronco77/bronco/index.html

It may or may not still be for sale

Exclamation Wow!

Lynn:

You drove a '78 Z until late 2001? That's something of a minor miracle. Those things started rusting pretty much the first time they encounter salt.

Great cars though. I had two of them - a '77 and a '76 2+2.

Had 2000 C70 Coupe, great car, but enjoy driving the C230 Coupe more, It had the best sound system of any of the new cars. My wife has the S60 2.4T. Happy with both.

...with a nod to benzomonterey - I just eBay'ed my '91 Jeep Cherokee with 32K (IkidUnot!) miles on it. It was a good time but it was time to move on to a real driver's car.
