| | Re: How FAST have you been?
161 at PIR in my BMW. 187 at Alamo drag strip in a Camaro (not streetable)I built before I had kids. In my Ranger....maybe 75 when I was in a hurry on the freeway. There's a time and place to go fast. I've worked too many accidents from "having fun", some of which the fun turned out to be fatal. I can't say I never opened a car up on the street. I was young and bold once too. I was lucky enough to get past my street racing days alive. I've buried a buddy when I was 17 because of racing on the street. He hit a deer that found it's place in his seat.
Sorry to get carried away. Preaching over.

My poor truck has gotten a few dings on the hood due to the latch breaking. I want to keep it running for as long as I can, so I seeked a forum to hopefully find some help.

Well, that's a subtle way to be a dick. It is a ranger forum after all, I have a FZ1 and have done 165 on it but I decided to talk about my ranger instead since we are on a "ranger forum".

It's a ranger forum and it's asking how fast have you gone.... if you don't want to participate, don't. No need to act like a complete dickhead.
