Another Friday Five

1. What vehicle do you drive?

A 1999 Ford Ranger supercab step-side 4×4

2. How long have you had it?

Since March of 1999 (I ordered it just the way I wanted it.)

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?

The 4WD, of course. And I use it, too, but the half-doors allowing access to the area behind the seats are a close second.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?

Lack of power. It has the 4.0L V-6, but I traded in an ’88 5.0L Mustang on it, and I miss the POWER!!

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?

Probably this:

The Porsche (that’s pronounced “por-sha”, not “porsh”) 911 Carrera 4S. It’s been described as “an appliance for going fast.” Three-hundred twenty horsepower, all-wheel drive, 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, and reliable as an anvil. Stickers at $81,800. And it gets about the same mileage as my pickup.

I’ve always loved the 911.
