My 1984 Ford Ranger
Welcome to the section that focuses in on my current car a blue 1984 ford ranger with a 2.0 4-cylinder engine.
this motor puts out roughly 115HP and nearly the same in torque making a GVW (gross vehicle weight) is 1040 lbs front axle and 2080 lbs rear axle making its weight allowance of 3200 Lbs.
its previous owners did not take care of it so its in bad disrepair...it looks ok in the pic,but its kinda beat although its faithful to me.
the car before the ranger was a 1984 dodge daytona turbo z. it cost me 300$...i only drove it 118 miles it was in a accident before i got it,and i hit a curb with it and boom that was gone...before that,
my other car was a 1988 plymouth horizon. it died at 158471miles. top speed on it 115MPH (pretty damn fast for a 3 spd automatic huh?) best car i ever had,thats why in its honor im buying a omni GLH cause 1 i like turbo,and 2 itll be another horizon/omni type car,a memorial type thing (i wish i had a good pic of that car) will be below soon
(below is a pic of this trucks powerhouse not too good, but it was at night what
do ya expect.)*note: the alternator among other things have been replaced this
pic is about 2 months old*

my 1st car (memorial)
this is not a exact pic cause the 1 hour CVS peopl screwed up the pic i wanted to use,but this pic gives you a idea on what it looks like if ya dont kno
this is my 1988 Plymouth Horizon with a 2.2 Ltr 4 Cyl motor putting out 95 HP at 3800 (?) RPM and 93 ft. lbs. of torque.
my personal top speed in it was roughly 115MPH on I-84 but the stock top speed is 134MPH,but take into account that it had over 100K on it when i owned it and it had one bad cylinder
it died on my day off from pepboys (yes i worked there *shudder*) the head gasket blew...it made it into my driveway never to run again :( .
it was a sad rainy day when the tow truck came to get it...it was a very sad day in my life,beacuse of all the fun and experiences i had in it..so whereever that car is...this is in honor to you,thanks for roasting imports,and everything else you did like get me thru the snow without sliding and stuff like that...that car will truely be missed by me
time of death: mid september 1999 Mileage : 154527.3 cause of death: headgasket, blown cylinder rod
