Smile Hello

Hey everybody, I'm new and I just thought I'd pop in to say hello. I have a 96 Ranger....not much to look at right now, but I'm hoping to change all that in the coming months. I'm from Westfield, up near the VA line.

Yeah, the first car that I ever owned outright and with my own insurance and all was an '89 Sunbird. I absolutely loved that car. But I've mainly been a Ford woman ever since I was little. I'm a 2nd generation lady Ranger owner...lol.
