So, I go out for a smoke break with another student and he walks over to the sunny side of the street...I noticed a pink mustang (yes, pink) in the parking lot and was commenting on it when I then noticed a lime green BII...

I wasn't crazy about the color, but I see the owner sitting in the truck...so I walk over to him and make small talk about Rangers and BIIs...it turns out he has several Rangers and BIIs and is a mechanic...so we talk a bit deeper about mods and whatnot and I notice his doors have the no-draft windows...so I comment that I'd love to get a set of them but all the ones I've seen in the JY are pretty rough...then he says he has a set for sale and I almost started dancing around the parking lot...and his price was about $100 less than the jy...so I might be getting the doors I've wanted after all...even though my doors are in excellent shape (except for the body work I did to hide the wide mirror bolt holes that I wasn't using)...

He gave me some good advice about the problems I've been having (with my carb) and I'm going to try what he suggested (even though I think someone here suggested it about two months ago...)...and he said he doubts that the carb is the problem...whew!

Anyways, I asked if he'd been on TRS and he said he hadn't...I was going to pitch him on it since I thought he'd be a great resource, but he said he wasn't much into computers and that his wife was more into that...then his wife showed up so I had to shove off and let him get out of the place...hopefully he does decide to take the plunge and come on board...

Just thought I'd share it...the world is a smaller place when people have something in common...eh!
 
Two days after I got my 93 Ranger I went with my buddy about 50 miles from my place to look at a set of teardrop wheels and tires; and basically take a test drive. (That was the day my caliper seized up.)
He wanted to get something to eat at a supermarket, I waited in the truck with my wheels in the bed. A guy comes over to me and starts talking, he had pulled into the parking lot with an identical white 93 Ford Ranger! His was rusty as hell, but he had gotten a lot of use out of it. Crazy coincidence.
 
I don't think I ever talked to anyone with a Tempo when I owned mine...they're just cars...but trucks seem to be 'conversation pieces' no matter where you go...
