1 - Bought 2002 Ranger August 2002
2 - A couple of months after buying it, Mrs. Wig ran into it with Wig's truck. (The Wigs fixed it
)
3 - December - kid falls asleep at the wheel, takes out most of the right side. Not fixed because I don't want to put it on insurance and he was paying to fix it.
4 - Last night during a horrendous storm, he hydroplanes, lands in a ditch on the left side of the road, air bags deploy (and scare the crap out of him, hehehe
), the entire front corner, including the lights and front bumper are destroyed. He's fine, but tempting fate a few times too often, IMHO.
All this in 12 months (not to mention all the warranty work that junky American truck has needed...... :angry: )
I'm hoping the insurance company will total it out. If not, the good thing is that anything under 24 months old, they replace with OEM parts. I've heard the airbags are QUITE expensive to replace.
I think I'm going to buy a horse and use it for transportation. :P
