And again here, for good measure.

I'd also really like to know how to respond to a comment when you have the comments to that comment expanded. I shall make an attempt here.

I don't own an f150, but I'm still managing 22 combined out of my 2003 ranger with the "worst of both worlds" 3.0 v6.

Partially because you can't buy a true compact truck anymore. CAFE standards killed them. The standards favor a vehicle with a larger footprint, and mediocre economy over one with a small footprint and better economy.

Methinks it could use some clearance, all-terrains, mudflaps, and a feisty sub-2L turbo.

Sure you do, if your boss decides that's what he is going to buy, or if you work for a small municipality that still uses its Reagan-era service trucks.

For all intensive purposes, only people who choose to be around carburetors need to know anything about them today. One should still have a working knowledge of a manual transmission today because they are not dead yet. Its on its way out, but there are still plenty of 3 pedal vehicles out there. Not knowing how to…

He said "know how", not "can for an extended period of time". Eventually, somebody has to get grandpa's old truck out of the garage when he dies, and if you have to call in your neighbor's wife to do it . . .

That was my response too. To demonstrate the randomness of the universe coupled with inexperience, at 18, I bought a second vehicle, with a lesser power to weight ratio, (ford ranger - 2800lbs - 98hp) and put it into a ditch. *thumbs up*

A Lamborghini Miura . . . but with industrial grade diamonds covering the rear wheels, so that when I did a burnout, it would slash through the earth, leaving permanent proof of my superiority.

It seems as though a surprising number of facebookers think that STI is implying something you get from Colombian hookers . . . like gonorrhea. As a result, they are insulting the wife, not him.

It has a turbo rotary . . . with headers!

If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says

Double this! I know a guy who had to replace the tailgate of his truck, and the back window of his cap when a chain snapped in a situation like this.

The guy then stayed on the forums and tried to participate after replacing his fallen cobra with a Grand Prix GTP. Some fairly amusing threads abound. http://mustangforums.com/forum/search.php?searchid=4198718

Ford Pinto, because boom. That, and even if no boom, you aren't outrunning any other vehicle not on this list.

I had a guy I went to highschool with tell me his 198x ford f-250 had a viper v-10 in it WITH CORVETTE HEADERS. Yes. He said he put corvette headers on a viper motor, in a 30 year old ford truck. Me and a few other guys pushed him on about it. Asking him what transmission he used, how he adapted the headers, what…
