My Sweet Ride ---insert sarcastic smile---

Things I hate about the 1992 Ford Ranger:
1. The seat belt holder thing is WAY too high so it practically cuts across my chin.
2. The inside door handle on the passenger side is broken, so I have to put the truck in neutral, engage the E-brake and get out so that Benjamin can climb across to get out at school in the mornings. (Pretty annoying. You would understand this if you take your kids to school in the mornings.)
3. The E-brake doesn't just disengage when you pull the lever. You have to put your foot under the brake, pull the lever and use your foot to pull the brake all the way up.
4. I can't roll down the driver's side window. Very annoying.
5. I am not sure how much gas I can put on, because at some point it is too much and then I will have a leak.
6. Gagging on my pride. (Which includes praying against the green-eyed monster that rears its ugly head with every glimpse of a beautiful Volvo, GMC, Toyota, Honda........you get the idea.)



Things I like about the 1992 Ford Ranger:
1. No payments.
2. We can put money that would have gone to the car payment toward paying off the other car. (And we better, because if I am driving this beauty for no reason....... you get the idea.)
3. The heater works.
4. It doesn't look too bad.
5. The radio works. (And....helloooo there is a casette tape player!)
6. The seats are kind of comfy.
7. It is a super cab.
8. It runs.
9. It isn't super loud.
10. Jeremy took off the metal rack.
