You know you own a Ranger when a cop pulls you over, and after a look at your interior, asks "Where's the rest of this thing?", your response to which is to point at the contents of your bed.

You know you own a ranger when there's fresh snow on the ground and all the other cars are in the ditch, the trucks are driving slow, and you're drifting like a mad mother ****** going 65 down the main road.

you know you own a ranger when a cop asks if you have any weapons or drugs in the truck and you look at him and say "How much stuff do you think I can honestly fit behind these two seats sir? It's all tools..."

You know you own a ranger when you can race a big truck and still be right next to him and then put it in 5th gear and win.

You know you're a little red head driving a ranger when the windows are down at 30 degrees blasting music and racing little cars and doing burn outs at almost every stop light. :icon_thumby:

You know you own a Ranger when you check to see if anyone is looking before opening a copy of Jp magazine.

you know you own 1st gen ranger when...

people say its faster than it looks.

people look at you in amazement when you past them going 75mph on the interstate

you goto sonic,mc d's, bk, wendy's etc and you go through the drive through, get a burger, large fries and drink and realize you dont got a cup holder... and you have a manual tranny..

your toping off your oil and random people say "i think its time to buy a new car, i dont think its gona make it home because it sounded like a ticking timbomb when you pulled in."

your going over the speed limit and cops dont care/notice/believe that its possible.

when only your highbeams work followed by a burning smell.

when you drive off into a ditch, come back out only to drive on the bank on the other side the road, drive off it and keep going without stalling/getting totaled...

when passengers ask "this thing only goes to 85mph?" and you say " if it went 3mph faster, we'll get stuck in 1955"

when passengers are shocked that the needle on the speedo is past the 85mph limit, probly due to the fact that there going 100mph...

you need to trim fenders to fit anything bigger than 235/75/15 tires....

you know what a heater hose tee is and how hard they are to find..

you have streaks under your gas cap leading all the way down due to a fawked up filler neck

you have a list of stuff that you need to repair

you know what parts from more readily avalible vehicles will interchange.

you love it to death and now you wished you hadn't loved it so hard because it wont start

You remove your "back seats" beacause they are pointless if you try to carry anybody larger than a child.

E-bay, J.C. Whitney, AutoZone (etc) websites prefill 2001 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0 when you go to their sites. Even if you plan on looking for a different vehicle parts

You visit TRS numerous times during the work day because you close it everytime somebody walks in to keep from getting in trouble for being on forums.

If you shook your head or giggled at other posters on this thread and said "yup that one is right."

you know you own a ranger when youre at firestone getting destination M/Ts put on and while its on the lift you walk out under it to check shit over and end up tightening everything you check, that is after you chip away the exhaust baked mud.
