Nice! I always liked the older Ford trucks (through the 90s). Learned Manuel on an 85 Ranger and learned more on an early 90s I6 F250 with the baseball bat shifter and creeper 1st gear. Both were very easy to drive.

hopefully, this is true. would love to see certain old members resurrected in here...(knot tinton)...

Welcome back kind sir!! I sure do remember you. That's a nice STI you have there. I know you probably are set on finding a nice German car to replace it, but what came to mind (if it's even possible, can't imagine it not being, but might require modification) was to find a newer WRX engine; not sure...
