I have a 1993 Ford Ranger and my average cost to maintain it is the $20 oil change every year.

In 14 years and 220k, I've done 5-6 clutches, some seals on front wheels and axel, brakes several times, and basic engine / exhaust sensors, leaf springs, and one valve spring. It's been a great truck. This WP is only $60 for lifetime, but will take half that lifetime warranty to swap it.

My Ranger only has 140K on it but in the last 14 years I've had it (passed on to me from my dad) I've put on 1 fan belt, front brake pads, new tires, fuel pump. Extremely cheap to maintain and keep running. And reliable as can be. Love it ! One drawback is the 4 cylinder lack of power. Going up hill with the AC on is like a 85 yr old woman with a walker.

Ferrari fxx and a gt3 RS made for the track, sounds like it should be on the track, but street legal. A big ass garage to sit back and stare and listen.
