I had my '93 Ranger up to an indicated 74mph Sunday. Downhill with a tail wind ....

For many of us here there's no reason to buy one of these new, ugly nanny-state monstrosities.

I'm keeping what I have- heck, post-retirement I may just go back to carbs. There is NO WAY I will buy a car that tracks my activities.

Oh and ya, I know about the cell phone, but I can throw that out the window.

Back in the mid 90s I had an '88 Ranger which was the last year that they came with a 2.0L (73hp). Mine had a 5spd. If I was on the interstate and a headwind gust hit, I usually downshifted from 5th to 4th to maintain my speed. LOL!

I'm never going to voluntarily add an OBDII plugin for the ins co or purchase a car that tracks me. I might speed from time to time...

My 04 Ranger 2WD with V6. It would cruise easily at 75 mph.
I used it with a tow dolly to haul my 911's when needed.

There are plenty of aftermarket FI kits. You will hate a carburetor. It is almost impossible to get one to idle when it is cold, and the hesitation as you hit the gas to pull out is scary. I put a throttle body FI system on my El Camino nearly 20 years ago. The single best upgrade I did to it.

Amazing what 10 years, two cylinders and I dunno how much displacement can help! (Mine is the 2.3l 4cyl bottom end model)

^^^ Your 4 cyl engine is more durable than mine was. I had to sell mine at a super low price because it developed the 'valve seat by-pass' at 140K miles. Ford issued a TSB, but wouldn't stand behind the cost. Both heads would have needed to be replaced. It was a 3 liter engine.

Only 117k on mine!!! Got it 3 years ago for $1500... have put about 1k more in for tires and some fixes/parts, and I need to go get a battery later today ... but still the best vehicle purchase I've made

Pal's white 1996 Avalon is parked just to the left of his dental practice. Some idiot (me) keeps enabling him to drive this car in perpetuity.

27 years is a good run. Those Avalons are great cars.

My Prelude is eligible for a 'Collectors Plate' this year. $30 for a 10 year plate.
(if Ohio has the same law....his car is eligible also)

I want to go in the other direction, someday I’ll have a 356.

Speed limiter on my friend's tesla (model Y?). Won't go over 35 in a 30mph limit, but no limit on highway. IDK if that is a factory preset or if he set an option.
