Hey :( </3 Don't be mean to Truck! I love my little '03 Ford Ranger.
He's got power windows and power locks and air conditioning, and he's been so good to me and totally low-maintenance even after years of total neglect during my depression phase. I firmly believe he will be with me forever. I've been told he's got a bit of "late 90s Ford Explorer"-face, but I think it's handsome.
I souped him up myself with some nice fresh upper control arms and ball joints after he was getting a little squeaky in the suspension region, and I think he really liked it. I pat him on the steering wheel and call him a good truck every time he starts up perfectly (every time!!)
And by god, he's a thousand times better than those Cybertrucks. I always laugh a bit when I see them (rarely, fortunately) and tell Truck I'm happy he's so much better than those low-poly hunks of junk.
