Ford started selling the Pinto in ‘71 actually.

In the case of several of these, the reason they’d be so fun to drive is because you’d constantly be trying to keep the holes aligned. The ones in the bag over your head.

Mike, I know I’m only one guy, and one sale won’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things. I’m not in the market for a new vehicle yet, but will be in a couple years I’d guess. I’m a manual trans die-hard. Ever since they “new” (for the rest of the world) Ranger debuted 7-8 years ago or whatever, I’ve wanted…

I agree. I’ve seen more people on more boards saying things like “if they made a jeep/small truck/4x4whatever with basic shit, hose out interior, no power anything, real transfer case I’d buy the shit out of ONE”.

I’ll assume you guys are referring to the guy from Port Colborne? Thats only a few towns over from me too. Well, at least it is every few weeks. As is my understanding, the charges of him shooting at the firebombers were thrown out *almost* immediately. What they then tried to get him with was improper storage of a…
