    Have you looked into the older small toyotas at all? im not sure how they compare MPG wise, but i had a bud in highschool that had one and we couldnt kill it no matter how hard we tried. we used to take it to the sand dunes on the Oregon coast and jump the ish out of it. by the time he got rid of it, we had bent every panel and the frame, and rolled it multiple times, but it never stopped running.

    yeah, ive looked at a few, id really like to get something with airbags because my wife will probably drive it to work sometimes too, id like it to be a little safer. ive owned nothing but fords so going the 95 ranger/b series pickup seems to be the route im going. but ive looked at everything ha ha, I just seem to really like the fords.

    nope, no airbags ha ha... its tough trying to curb the urge to buy a toy and buy something practical instead...

    I tried that a couple summers ago. I worked at a Chevy dealer so I bought a brand new 08 Chevy Aveo hatchback. Averages 34mpg buttt. I cant leave nothin alone soooo. 17s, lowered 1 3/4, system, intake, tinted windows, spoiler, front chin spoiler from a dodge ram (lost about 8" from center). Blacked out headlights, smoked tails, bla bla. Oh yea full repaint !! LOL

    Yeah, the cost of buying something new would far outweigh the savings in gas ha ha. Plus I wouldnt be able to leave it alone. Whats there to mod on a 2.3l ranger? ha ha, maybe remove some rear blocks, and ad some ptm ha ha.

    Here's a pic of my old 95. Bought new, lowered before I made first payment. I even polished the entire intake, and painted the entire undercariage. Ended up in Sport Truck magazine
