Friend bought an 80,000 dollar ranger.

What does this person do for a living that they can afford 180'000 on such stuff?

You might be surprised if you knew the number of retirees who sell up the $million house, and spend,sometimes a lot more than that to hit the road.8 metre caravan and a suitable tow vehicle ie Landcruiser or similiar,$200,00 plus or a $4-500,000,Winebago.

Yeah but that's a retiree who's selling up their place of residence to buy a mobile one. This sounds like a working-age guy who can afford this stuff.

Why I love this site.

Wake up at 4.30 am due to stress in life in x 5 different areas pulling me apart.

Get on computer to play multiplayer to take mind off life -nobody around-no help there for my stressed out mind. Stress-what to do now at 4.57am....

Enter this thread and read this dribble and suddenly for some odd reason I feel a lot better about my life

Pretty much anyone who has owned a Sydney or Melbourne property for 10 years plus will do well come sale. If it is possible to buy elsewhere & be happy, then a substantial amount of money is available.

I am pretty certain not every body knows, I asked all my family and no one had any idea, I bet if you did a survey only a small percentage of the population would know.[/QUOTE]

Anybody that has been towing vans for 20 years should know. Don't you think ??

I thought you was a Nazi. Must be all those other forums I have been on that have free speech that makes me think that.

Don't you believe me. The van and truck cost 190,000.

Ranger's aren't $80k

The trick with telling stories is to make them believable at least.

Do you want to see the receipt.

If he bought a ranger for 60K and spent 20k on it, it's still a 60k ranger!

While you're at it, get the details of the caravan dealer who let someone tow a van off their lot with no trailer brakes.

Free speech? Maybe ....

But deplorable English ? Probably not.

I was wondering the same thing. He might mean a brake controller

This guy calls me a liar, and all I said back is, do you want to see the receipt. (That got me banned for 4 days) ***

What are you actually gaining out of this thread though?
Are you trying to bond with the people here by way of bagging out your mate? It just seems like a bit of an odd tactic.

Lovford,
Remember as a new member of this community you are joining a group of people who have been conversing, arguing, joking, and taking the mickey for over ten years.
The forum has rules both written ad of course, like any community, unwritten.
You arrive on the scene and to be honestly constructive, your language, grammar, topics and general demeanor are not in keeping with the community expectations. As such your approach tends to grate leading to the friction you are feeling.
Now not many of us here are Rhodes skolars (see what I did there) but basic care and attention to your language and writing, punctuation, grammar, language and of course toxic topics would probably help your case in becoming accepted here.
It might be the 'internet' but don't confuse it for anything less than an existing long running group of people with existing relationships.

With no free speech there can be no relationships.

Are you saying that because the Soviet Union was attempting to abolish marriage? If so, that is quite insightful. I must have underestimated you.

you could argue that's a western trait now!!

[lovford]

Only way to find out who a person is, is to let them say what they feel in a thread not a stupid pm. pm arnt for me I prefer everything out in the open. Yes it maybe does have something to do with Russia.

I'm surprised it took 198 posts for him to get banned, I would've thought he could have achieved that with way less.

Nah dude, threads only get closed if you have some fun and stirring banter with V8 owners. And let's not let some of the facts get in the way. .....

[commodorenutt]

Needs more sarcasm on the keyword: facts

[Bossxr8]

How was that knob allowed back so many times. Glad he has finally been banned.
