I'm getting scared!

I first came to this forum to find out why my 95 Ranger was different. Been here about a month; don't have a clue whats wrong with my truck; and I am getting close to being a "senior". If my wife knew what I was doing, she would not be happy! How do you guys get up to 2000 or more without getting caught? I think if I hit 100 posts I will 1. Quit 2. Reregister under a pseudonym 3. Commit Hari-Kari 4. Seek professional help. Any suggestions will be welcomed.

hreed,
You and I joined at about the same time and for similar reasons - advice on a Ranger. I have about the same number of posts as you do. This site is addicting. The only real difference is I don't have a wife to catch me anymore!

After discussing your dilemma with my wife, neither of us could determine why posting on the FTE site is a problem. If it were a Dodge site it would be a different story!

(p.s. she didn't see me bidding on a Torque wrench!)

Well thanks johare for the response. Did you get any help with your Ranger? So far, I am still looking for answers for my Ranger. This post will put me one more closer to the dreaded "senior user". I am not sure if I could survive the title of "guru". I have been called many things, but never "guru". If I make it, I can only hope I am worthy of the title! (BTW johare, you have 3 more than me; am I slow or are you fast?) See you at 100!

you must have a pretty tough wife to be scared of her finding out how many posts you have.

good luck


the whole status and post count doesnt really say much.

i could come on here and post a bunch of mixed up letters just to increase my count but that doesnt give me any more seniority.

To rlh-I was having fun with acerockolla77 and the others on this forum. Even including a bunch of words spelled wrong. Really spelled wrong. Thanks for joining in the festivities? (did I spell that right) Oh yeah, 1 more post towards senior!
