Well , boys and girls , I just dropped the thing off to have the cab
bushings taken care of and guess what they gave me to drive ?
Yep , it's my friend and yours , the uncomparible 1996 4-cylinder , 5-speed
, extended cab , ugly ass Frod Manger .
Now , the last one I had was a 1995 and this one is a 1996 .
Even though they are different years , the two trucks are IDENTICAL ! Same
color , same stripes , same crappy ass non-performance .
When I first got into this one , I noticed that it only had 35K miles on it
. I figured that maybe this one would actially move faster than a stoned
slug , but it was not to pass .
I guess that I have pretty much proven that if anyone has a Manger (with
the 4-cylinder at least) that they apparently have a deathwish and like
being a slow moving target .
I guess it's back out to the mud pits this week and at least the dog will
have a comfy little place to sleep for a few days .
Anyway , for those of you that think one of these things would be good for
a teenager or something as a first vehicle , think again . You would simply
be putting their lives in harm's way .
Hell , my 1994 Dak with the 2.5 liter hauled bootie compared to this thing .
In addition , my 4-banger Dak also idled smooth as silk and although she
was a bit rowdy under the hood , she ran smooth too . This Manger idles
like a sewing machine on nitrous . It sucks . It sucks donkeys . OK , the
freakin' Manger swallows , people .
The whole point of this little ranting is this :
ONLY BUY A MANGER IF YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF OR SENTENCE YOURSELF TO A
LIFE OF DESPAIR AND HUMILIATION .
Thank you....we now return you to your regularly scheduled messages .
