How to double the value of your 21-year old vehicle

It's a Ford Ranger, it would take more than a few horsepower to make a noticeable difference. The thing is so glacially slow that the speedometer reads in FPF—Furlongs Per Fortnight.

I guess I'm spoilt. On the downside, everybody here is hoarding gasoline. A pipeline leak near Bob threatens to cut-off the whole Eastern seaboard for a while. I have to drive tomorrow 85 miles round tip. I'd take the bike but I hate carrying camera gear on the bike. I have, but not for 85 miles. I also use the car as a base to work from if I need to improvise a situation. It's a metal band, it's a live shoot, don't need a tripod. Whatever, I'm driving.
What makes me feel "spoilt" is that the Hyundai 3.5 liter V6 is a beast. The 72 Skylark I had in 84 (350 4bb) didn't have the kind of power this 2005 Santa Fe has. It's a sleeper if that's a term that's still used these days. I count my blessings. All I've ever had to do is change the oil and put gas in it. Oh and I polished the plastic headlight lenses.

Does California allow for wind power on your truck? You know, now that you're a sailor and all that.

On the upside, two Ford Ranger owners can hold an impromptu drag race right in front of a cop without him ever realizing he's witnessing a contest of speed.
