Get China to put more emissions controls on their stuff, that will cut down production of greenhouse gases ten fold probably.

The politicians make me mad cuz if it's not one thing it's another, soon enough we will see cows with tubes in their butts to collect methane so it doesn't harm the ozone blah blah

The parking lot at Ford Motor Co In Chennai India speaks for itself.

I do miss the 2nd fuel tank not available on Ranger. I could go 2 weeks
on the F150 with dual tanks.

I'm glad NM isnt that strict......yet. My truck would fail emissions, guaranteed! IMHO C4C is a bunch of BS.

$3500 plus $2000 from Ford ,Yes C4C my 1994 F150 for the 2009 Ranger.
I do like the new Ranger. We also have a 2009 Mercury Mariner. It is quite a bit nicer than the Ranger. Heated seats on the Merc a plus in Michigan.

That thing looked OK but got 10 mpg and needed AC, transmission, electrical, and on and on. I would never have gotten $1000 for it with out the clunker program and couldn't afford to fix everything it needed. And as far as repos go maybe some JOBS would help out but between the ass hat bankers and the Corporations sending work overseas there aren't any.

I've been away due to cpu problems. Nope we didn't miss the point. That clean air act crap is nothing more than a scam. Basicly the Govt. didn't know what they were doing. All it did was cause problems. 95% of the people seemed to agree that it was "miss used" for their own gains.
