My new truck. Ford F 150 Lariat.

Considering the MSRP on a damn Ranger you might as well get an F150 these days. But didn't you just get a Bronco less than a year ago?
Yep the 3 cylinder engine got on my nerves. It hesitated when you got on the gas. I'd hit the gas and it was like "Are you sure?"

And I MAY get a boat again some day.

I had no idea the 3 cylinder was a thing after Geo stopped making the Metro. Wait... wasn't that an option in the Fiesta for a while?
When I was a teenager in South Macon one of my friends had a T Type Regal in the back yard under a tarp. When I asked him about it the story was painful but funny as hell. Turned out his folks had bought it new in 82 or 83. One day he laid out of school and decided to take a delinquent joy ride in the Regal. Once he got out on the main road (as it was told to me) he said "Man this car is slow as ****! " At which point he stomped the gas pedal and I quote he said " Then the Buick said Oh you wanna go FAST? Well hang on..." At which point the turbo spooled right on up and launched itself square into the back of a Macon garbage truck totaling it out instantaneously. I can't imagine the ass beating he toted behind that.

And he should have too!!

Oh most definitely. But back then most of us didn't know **** about turbo chargers and more importantly turbo LAG which was a real thing at the time. It was kinda like getting a bump of good blow. You tooted it up and then...wait for it...wait for it...
THERE IT IS!
