mine didnt go to the junker, but isnt it an erie feeling when you see your old truck in the junkyard? its like someone raping your wife! i tend to chase people away from my old vehicles at the yard.
 
My first Ranger, I made the mistake of selling it to my neighbor's lawn service company so I have to see that truck all the time and evertime i see it theres another dent, scratch or something fucked up on it and right now the thing looks like a total POS.

Oh that hurts man. Thats just viscious.
 
The 96 2wd 2.3. Was my first vehicle ever. Even though my 97 is better in every way while still being as similar to the old one as possible, I still miss it.

This could quite possibly have been the end of my truck. But thankfully it was not. It scared me though!

Here's mine, after a 4am, 70mph negative animal interaction on the way to work.

The alignment and bumper are still good in these pics, 3 month old radiator blown, 1 month old front windshield (no cracks in any glass). I still kept it on the road after impact, thanks to a chest freezer you see in the bed. Engine was put in a 94, trans in a 97, rear glass in a different 94, bench seat and front glass in a 93, bed modded for a trailer. Trailer still on the road.
 
Here is my first truck. '93 4.0L 5 spd 4x4. I still miss this truck.

Here's when we sacrificed it for my '87. It was rough cutting her up.

Here's my original 88 Ranger - the one I cut the back window out of...the second pic you can see...no back window -- it was cold to say the least...
