I figured it was. Pretty convincing right down to those annoying black sneakers with white soles that tech billionaires seem to love nowadays.

Thanks. When I was thinking of it, he was the first one that came to mind.

I can’t verify that it’s original, but I’ve never seen it before.

I hate this so much. I’m secretly hoping a rock will crack my windshield bad enough that my insurance will pay for a new one.

Yes. Lemmy needs an “ignore replies” option, both for posts and comments.

For me, it’s Rockstar. I think I have 1 Origin game, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (2010 I think), whichever one didn’t support force feedback wheels. I haven’t bought an EA game since.

I’ll admit I can’t nap as much as a cat. Maybe a dog.

Either way, there’s no way I can sleep for 8 straight hours at night and stay up for 16 hours during the day. That’s just nuts.

Exactly. When am I gonna learn…?

There’s nothing like waking up to that empty inbox.

Is your username a reference to the Greydon Clark movie?

They’re a vanishing breed. I was searching Autotrader for a compact pickup, and the only thing I found was a Mazda B2300 … from 1986. I can’t use that - I’d be too worried about damaging it. It’s a collector’s item.

I live in Worst Carolina, and I know the feeling when you can just say you lost something in “the flood” and people just nod their heads like, “yep, I know”.

OMG, there are two people in my neighborhood with them and I want one soooo bad. Only problem is I need to haul stuff to the landfill and that requires getting on the interstate which I don’t think they’re rated for in my state.

No worries! I’m not trying to do that either.

Perfectly fair. You can have what you want. I just want to have what I want.🙂

I’m trying to buy a compact on Autotrader and compacts are selling for more than low-end full size, so I think there’s a demand.

Both can tow. The new Ranger can tow more because it’s really a mini F-150. Buying a compact pickup to get back seats is dumb.

It doesn’t bother me that larger trucks exist, but some of us want compact pickups.

I loved the Ford Mazda connection. I wish Ford hadn’t sold off their stake in the company. My current car is a Mazda 3 and the (Mazda designed) 4-cylinder in it was also used in later model Rangers before they were discontinued.

Nice. Mine was Cayman Green, a couple of shades lighter than yours and a 4-banger, but similar otherwise.

I look forward to it. It’s roughly the same price as my 95 Ranger, inflation adjusted.

I’m kidding. I looked up Ute.
