Service Vehicle

[Leslie W Bartlett]

Got a Ford Ranger, extended cab, put a shell on it and LOVE IT!  It's a
dog, though, slow like molasses in January.  However, it's roomy, quiet,
very comfortable. Cold in summer warm in winter.  It'll pull a 5x8
trailer with ease.

I used to have a Gold Wing.  Now, I'm jealous!
