Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Meanwhile, I just still own a small pickup built in the '90s in 2025. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I had the idea to buy a used one, but it's such a risk especially since I know nothing about cars. It could develop issues days or weeks after purchase. It would be great if I already had one and it just kept chugging though. I wish your truck a long and healthy life

Anybody who doesn't let you bring the car to a mechanic for a pre purchase inspection is someone you don't want to be buying a car from. Most car repair places will do one for you.

I would do this if I could afford it. I was looking a few months ago and somebody locally had a ‘00 Ranger 5 speed 2 seater w/ ~150k mi for $5000 and an ‘01 S10 for $7000.

I obviously don't know your location but look at things like Nissan hardbodies/early frontiers or Mazda B3000s. The latter of which are literally just 90s Ford Rangers (Rangers were rebadged Mazdas)
