Well, I'm not sure about the top speed of my Ranger yet. It's brand new, with less than 2000 km on it, so I don't want to rev the shit out of it quite yet... The 2.3 litre engine is rated at 147 hp, I believe, so I should get about 170 km/h top speed or so...

But this vehicle is a change for me. I remember a ride that I had a few years ago... 1972 Merc Marquis... 460 cid, 4 bbl. Let's put it this way, the speedo quit at 120 MPH, but judging by the needle that mofo would tear it at 135 MPH. If only it handled better...

Brand new Ranger, base model, $15,000 Cdn + Tax. 0% financing offered by Ford. Not bad for a new ride...
