Spring 2017 General BS Thread

Spring has sprung. Even though it was blowing 20 mph and was 46 degrees today we'll call it spring.

Let the pollen begin.

It's been creeping around here. But soon will be a yellow haze, a golden fog. Get ready for yella boogers.

I've got a spot where the rain pools, that's yellow from pollen already.

Here's to wishful thinking that we'll have some warm weather!

Going to the DMV to hopefully get everything straight with the Ranger I was supposed to pickup Friday. If all goes well I hope to get the title straight and pick it up tomorrow. I'll hopefully have enough time to get it inspected also.

Bam it happened... got it tagged today to. Lady gave me tags with out insurance on it, also without a inspection.

94 ranger 2.3 4cly with a 5 speed, brand new clutch with like 20 miles on it and most of that was me test driving/driving home.

It is a 4cly but has 8 plugs/wires which seems weird but I guess ford thought it was a good idea.
