Ford Ranger

Mario is mourning the loss of his beloved Ranger. He had to sell it yesterday. I have been begging him to sell it for years because it is so small, but he loved his truck and wouldn't dream of parting with it. The plan was for it to eventually become Eric's truck.

But, with upcoming move in a couple weeks to Omaha, Mario thought about trading it in for a 4x4 SUV. But he just couldn't do it. It would need some maintenance before the long road trip. But after taking it to the shop and finding that it would cost more to fix then it was worth, he felt he had no choice but to say goodbye. He sold it to the twin's basketball coach who plans to auction it off. It was a difficult day for Mario and he isn't sure how he's going to live without a truck now. Eric may be getting his first truck within a few months of moving to Omaha. Then Mario will always have one that he can borrow. I think that will be a good solution. Eric will just have to wait a few months before he gets his learner's permit to drive it.
