A Conversation With Pandora's Tim Westergren: 'TheBeach Meets TheStreet' Startup Founder Series
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- We could not have picked a better guest to kick off TheBeach Meets TheStreet's startup founder series than Tim Westergren, the co-founder and chief strategy officer of Pandora (P) Internet Radio.
Westergren told great stories and provided loads of excellent insight during our 24-minute conversation. You can watch the highlights in this article's accompanying video. To see the unedited version, go to TheBeach Meets TheStreet Playlist at TheStreet's YouTube Channel.
The blend of Westergren -- as a human and company co-founder -- and Pandora -- as a perpetual start-up -- perfectly illustrate what we're trying to capture with this series. Unorthodox, anti-MBA, slightly unkempt and raw, unrefined start-up culture.
After the interview -- and, truth be told, I had some nervous excitement going in -- I could have kicked myself for not framing the shot better. I did not have my co-producer, Manoj Rao, along so it was me and my iPhone 5 on a tripod.But, TheBeach is a a start-up operation also -- low overhead (we learned from the dot-com bust (!)), always learning, always evolving and always getting better. It sort of fits to have an off-center shot when you're sitting on couches in the middle of Pandora's open office -- people working and talking in the background -- next to Westergren in jeans and sneakers with somewhat shaggy hair. In any event, the production quality will go up -- in a big way -- from here. In terms of content, Westergren sets the bar way high. Spend any amount of time with Tim and it doesn't take long to realize he's about as genuine and unassuming as a person gets. If you bumped into him on the street, you would never know he's a multi-millionaire. While he clearly doesn't like to talk about himself, we get into the notion of humble leadership during our time together. But just because he's humble doesn't mean he's passive. Westergren is an aggressive competitor. He's proud of what he and his team have built over the years at Pandora. He's not shy about expressing the sentiment that Pandora will, once the noise and dust settles, prove the critics wrong.

Knowledge is Power-Start Early
What great ideas!
My take on empowering women is to start early and concentrate efforts on improving a girl's self image.
A healthy, positive self image is the basis of developing a healthy attitude where a girl will empower herself by making principle-based decisions on her beliefs and values and she will also have the confidence to dream big.
One way of doing this is to introduce leadership building workshops into all school curriculums across the globe. Knowledge is power, and if we empower young women with leadership training within existing school systems, it will result in a paradigm mentality shift.
This leadership training should involve some of the following components to ensure a well-balanced curriculum:
- Exploring and prioritizing one's own values/beliefs/interests so that young women can be encouraged to use them as a compass when making decisions.
- Providing a safe, comfortable environment where young women are encouraged to share their concerns and possible solutions with one another. This peer-on-peer connection will foster dialogue about tough issues and empower young women to help one another.
- Educate young women about existing mentorship programs, women empowerment organizations and help agencies.
- Allow guest speakers who have overcome great odds or have something of value to contribute to speak to the young women on a regular basis. This will help young women relate to positive role models.
- Dare young girls to think big. Encourage creativity and teach goal-setting techniques such as S.M.A.R.T goals(specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely).
Overall I think every young woman would benefit greatly as a result of regular leadership training embedded into existing school systems. Starting early, during a girl's primary education years, will definitely help her build a positive self-image, a healthy attitude and after that the sky's the limit!
Can you imagine what the world would look like 25 years from now, if all of today's young schoolgirls had undergone at least 5 years of leadership/empowerment training?
Girl Power!
There are so many bold ideas here! I love this line: "Dare young girls to think big." If only all girls had such encouragement and leadership training! I went into the bookstore the other day and was looking at the wall of new titles. Only a few on the entire wall were authored by women. We still have a long way to go and a lot of work to do!
Here are some organizations on PulseWire doing similar work. Have you met them, yet?
Adelante Chicas http://worldpulse.com/user/655
New Moon Girls http://worldpulse.com/user/411
Julie Fiandt of Think Girl http://worldpulse.com/user/141
Another organization not on PulseWire but also involved with girl empowerment and self image is Sista II Sista (http://www.sistaiisista.org/) of Brooklyn, New York. I wish you all the best with the year ahead!
Starting at a young age
Your idea is so wonderful and so BOLD! Creating leadership building workshops for young girls to participate in, with a goal of every girl receiving at least 5 years of training, will make such a difference. I think you're onto something here - in that often women lack the encouragement to follow their inner-leader. If they are taught at a young age to embrace that feeling and be empowered, than it would create a very different and exciting world for sure.
Warm regards,

Matt Capps saw his ERA come back to Earth in May, after posting a 0.68 ERA at the end of April. He still pitched well, though, with an xFIP of 2.26 and 0 walks; his 5.73 May ERA can be explained by team-worst's in BABIP (.343) and LOB% (51.7%). He remains a good option with an xFIP of 3.36, second on the team. Expect his ERA to remain about the same as his 8% HR/FB and .335 BABIP regress to the mean.
Sean Burnett had a strong May, averaging over a strikeout per inning and posting an xFIP of 2.76. Burnett's high strikeout rate (9.2 K/9) should help him raise his LOB% (68.2%) or at least lead to getting more innings than Miguel Batista.
Which brings us to Miguel Batista who may make the Nationals regret demoting Brian Bruney very soon. His team-worst 0.78 K/BB is also bad enough for 3rd worst amongst MLB relievers, (John Lannan has the worst spot locked down amongst starters at 0.69 K/BB) and his ERA is set to explode any day now because that ridiculously low .208 just can't be sustained much longer. His 5.77 xFIP (which adjusts for his fairly unlucky 14.7% HR/FB) is 9th worst in the league.
The last bullpen highlight is reserved for Tyler Clippard who is striking everyone out (10.19 K/9). He's getting extremely lucky with his HR/FB (4.7%) and his LOB% (88.1%), but since he's throwing fast (91.8 mph on average versus 90.5 last year) it might be a good idea to keep giving him innings.
The Nationals bullpen may be getting a bit lucky right now: Doug Slaten, Tyler Walker, Capps, Burnett, and Clippard all have xFIPs above their career averages. If Soren and English can pitch well and the veterans can maintain their success, however, the bullpen should be all right.

|Spartan Chassis Welcomes OEMs and Dealers for Annual Sales Training Conference
|Thursday, 20 February 2014 09:08
CHARLOTTE, Mich. — Spartan Chassis, a business unit of Spartan Motors, Inc. (Nasdaq:SPAR), welcomed its original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their dealers to the Lansing, Mich., region for its annual Sales Training Conference Feb. 16-19.
Each year, Spartan Chassis utilizes the event to align the extended enterprise with its current market offerings through vital training sessions and presentations.
"The 2014 event centered a portion of the conference on the manufacturing process of our products," said Michael Bowman, Director of Sales, Emergency Response Chassis. "This hands-on approach differentiates not only our training, but more importantly our products for both the OEMs and their dealers. With the reduction in classroom training, our attendees can maximize the learning opportunity and experience the assembly process first-hand. The guests learn directly from those intimately involved in the build process of every cab/chassis."
The Sales Training Conference is a two-fold approach for Spartan Chassis. Not only are attendees able to get a glimpse of the company's upcoming innovations slated for 2014, but the participants also interact directly with Spartan Chassis decision makers and suppliers to further improve the company's voice of the market/customer procedure.
"The voice of the market process is of great importance to Spartan Chassis. This procedure is the cornerstone of our product development process, and events like the Sales Training Conference provide a very efficient means to gather feedback from the market. Our model works. We were very pleased with demand for Spartan Chassis in 2013; we continued to see the number of conquest orders improving," Bowman stated.
The buzz generated in 2012 with the launch of the Spartan Advanced Protection System (APS) continued in 2013 with the APS being specified on over 70% of the orders received. With best-in-class performance, APS includes safety features never before available in the cab/chassis. Several industry firsts include: full side curtain airbags that are seven times larger than competitors', driver-side knee airbags to lock the lower body into place, and outboard sensors to provide a zone of safety for occupants. Additional industry firsts include outboard sensors for faster deployment of airbags and protect occupants from side impact collisions, rollovers and occupant ejection and advanced seat belts to help control the strain on each occupant.
In 2014, Spartan Chassis will take you "Beneath the Armor" and present a closer look inside its Advanced Protection System (APS). Beneath the Armor is a Spartan Chassis recently-launched campaign which provides a unique look at the key features and components comprising APS.
During the event, over 150 attendees were immersed in the Spartan Chassis state-of-the-art design, engineering and assembly processes located in Plant 3 (52,194 sq. ft.) and Plant 8 (106,838 sq. ft.) at the company's headquarters in Charlotte, Mich., located just minutes south of Lansing. The company segmented the assembly process into six tour stops, at which the attendees were trained by a combination of Spartan Chassis Associates from engineering, manufacturing and various customer-facing teams. The experiential nature of the tour stops enable OEMs and their dealers the opportunity to see first-hand the company's best-in-class manufacturing practices, technology development programs, quality systems and, most importantly, the dedicated Spartan Chassis Associates, many of which have firefighting experience.
In addition to Spartan Chassis' training, the conference attendees had the opportunity to participate in an exhibitor event with several of Spartan Chassis' supplier partners. Each provided the attendees a chance to learn more about several products used in emergency response vehicles.
About Spartan Chassis, Inc.
Spartan Chassis, Inc. is a world-class leader in the engineering, manufacturing and marketing of chassis and aftermarket parts for emergency response, recreational vehicle (RV), defense and specialty vehicles. End users recognize and request the Spartan Chassis brand, which consistently delivers superior performance, exceptional safety ratings and innovations which distinguish us from the competition.

CBS has already revealed that Ashton Kutcher's Two and a Half Men character is heartbroken, and now we know who's to blame. Judy Greer has signed on to join the cast of Men in a recurring role as Kutcher's soon-to-be ex-wife.
Greer will play Bridget, who's in the process of divorcing Internet billionaire Walden Schmidt (Kutcher). She'll be seen in several episodes of the show.
Cheers to Chris Parnell for his endearing guest turn on Mad Love.

The SNL veteran guested on CBS' freshman sitcom as a small-town cop, Dennis Barrett, who pulls over Connie (Judy Greer) for speeding. She initially flirts with him to try and get out of the ticket but is eventually charmed by his winning personality. Parnell and Greer have history — they costarred in ABC's underrated gem Miss Guided and both provide voices on FX's animated spy spoof Archer — and they developed a surprisingly potent chemistry in only a few scenes. Thankfully, we haven't seen the last of Parnell on Mad Love — he'll be back for another episode next month.
Life Unexpected star Kristoffer Polaha has signed a deal with CBS and CBS Studios in what may be the final nail in the coffin for the struggling CW drama, according to Deadline.

If you open a file in Code Editor within cPanel and do not choose the correct character set, the editor may delete code, or display characters incorrectly. If your website uses the English Alphabet and standard characters, the character encoding is usually not an issue since the standard encoding of the editor is UTF-8.
However, if you use different character encoding, such as EUC-JP, you will need to adjust the character encoding in cPanel.
- Log into cPanel
- Go to File Manager
- Navigate to the file you want to edit
- Right click on the file you wish to work with and select "code editor"
- Select the correct character encoding from the dropdown menu
- Click "Edit"
Now, the code should display properly. Remember, if you are using standard encoding, you can leave the default setting to UTF-8. If you need further assistance please feel free to ask a question on our support center.

The Facility Audit, Part 2
Despite the recession, there is a definite building boom in parks and recreation. Its reasons are multiple — whether based on demand, more creative ways of procuring funding or the need to update outdated facilities — but in this series we're not concerned with the reasons, but with the means to the end. This article is the second in a series regarding planning, designing, and building a new sport or recreational facility. The first, published in April, looked at the … Continue reading
Defibrillator Decision
A noticeable increase in ink used to cover an issue or subject is one way to catch and prepare for trends. One issue that's making the rounds in the mainstream press is the AED, or Automated External Defibrillator. The Washington Post reports, as part of an article about AEDs in health clubs, "Although firm data are not available, extrapolations from a few studies suggest that at least 1,500 Americans die each year after collapsing in health clubs, country clubs and … Continue reading

Fewer than 10 hospital staff refuse mandatory flu shot
Lone union member faces firing
WATERBURY — Waterbury Hospital said Tuesday that fewer than 10 full- and part-time employees — and just one union member — have refused to get a seasonal flu shot, which the hospital now requires of its entire staff.
The hospital, along with Saint Mary's Hospital across town, instituted the policy this fall, with both facilities allowing exceptions only for health reasons or religious objections. Employees who fail to get the shot face disciplinary action, including termination.

So how is a person 'protected,' let alone those around them? In fact, "protection' merely means presence of a certain amount of antibodies produced by the vaccine. This is assumed to mean one will not get the disease, but that assumption is NOT necessarily true.
In fact, the flu vaccine is notoriously ineffective. Better to keep their staff safe by NOT compromising their immune systems (or their lives) by forcing them to be injected with toxic substances.
Too bad the pharmaceutical companies have such a grip on people's common sense. "

The Real Neuroscience of Creativity
August 19th, 2013 | 12
So yea, you know how the left brain is really realistic, analytical, practical, organized, and logical, and the right brain is so darn creative, passionate, sensual, tasteful, colorful, vivid, and poetic? No. Just no. Stop it. Please.

Could a Life-Sized TV Control Your Dog's Brain?
September 29th, 2014 | 4
This question was not proposed by a mad scientist bent on world doggie domination. The idea to see whether dogs follow life-sized videos is actually entirely sensible. Researchers studying non-human animals want to know whether their species of interest will attend to artificial stimuli—like photographs, slides or films—because if a species realistically attends to artificial [...]Keep reading »
How Do You Play with Your Dog?

Millions of people around the world come home to four legs and a wagging tail, and many spend some of their time together playing.

Science Education and Changing People's Minds: Writing to convince
July 28th, 2011 | 4
I find online science communication fascinating. I am enthusiastic about its possibilities and intrigued by its challenges. With an interest in online communication, comes an interest in text.

"Project Nim" Reveals a Scientific Scandal
July 10th, 2011 | 4
The most important sign language study done with an ape was surely the first one back in the 1960s, with Washoe, for it established that chimpanzees can use American Sign Language (ASL). The most decisive such study, however, was probably the one a decade later, with Nim Chimsky because it put a halt to such [...]Keep reading »
Animal emotion: When objectivity fails
April 28th, 2011 | 23
There seems to be an explosion of concern over animal welfare these days. With growing awareness to factory farming conditions, Americans are at last faced with the recent histories of their burgers, their nuggets, their pork chops. What we see makes us viscerally uncomfortable, and reasonably so. Those of us who are sympathetic to animal [...]Keep reading »
Trains, nukes, marriage, and vaccines (and anything else): Why the facts don't matter
April 22nd, 2011 | 20
A lot has been written about why people deny the findings of science. Why, ask the devotees of reason, do people's views on vaccines or climate change not match the overwhelming bulk of the evidence? To that question I would add this; why are these views so fiercely held? Why do disagreements about the facts [...]Keep reading »

Why We Need to Abandon the Disease Model of Mental Health Care
November 17th, 2014 | 34
The idea that our more distressing emotions such as grief and anger can best be understood as symptoms of physical illnesses is pervasive and seductive.

Coincidences Reflect a Rational Mind
While we can all agree coincidences have fascinated scholars and lay people alike, what they mean divides us into one of two camps: skeptics or believers.

As computers have matured over time, the human brain has no way of keeping up with silicon's rapid-fire calculating abilities.

For that reason, researchers are still trying to develop computers that can recognize, interpret and act upon information—like the kind pulled in by eyes, [...]Keep reading »
Bumblebees Quickly Learn Best Paths to Sweet Flowers
Bumblebees, it turns out, don't bumble.

In fact, their cognitive competence in this area seems to match that of bigger-brained animals. A team [...]Keep reading »

Chronic pain affects at least a fifth of the U.S. population, yet many of these people remain in significant physical discomfort whether they receive treatment or not.

Of course, that is a particularly appropriate self-introspection for M.I.T. because a lot of artificial intelligence action occurred there during the past 50 years. The symposium [...]Keep reading »

Parents of Young Athletes: Protect Your Child's Brain in 8 Steps

Repent for Your Sins—or Turn Them into Something Good
The November/December Scientific American Mind is a tribute to the seven deadly sins. Not that gluttony, envy, greed, sloth, wrath, lust and pride are necessarily laudable traits, but we can learn a lot from them. Some of them can even work in our favor if we know how to harness them. Others, we must simply [...]Keep reading »

How to Avoid the Self-Esteem Trap
August 9th, 2013 | 6
I have always assumed that having a strong sense of self-worth was important. I figured it made a person happier, healthier, more successful, and easier to be around. Turns out that these benefits of self-esteem are rather hard to prove. Having high self-esteem has some modest pluses, studies suggest. It makes you more persistent, for [...]Keep reading »

Gerber Bear Grylls Hands-Free Torch Headlamp 3 3
ST MARY'S WILDERNESS HIKE Husband and two grandsons loved these items for the hike out of the wilderness park. Left their hands free to navigate extremely difficult cliffs etc that had to be climbed in evening. October 20, 2012
Low lumens and fast burning battery Nothing good about this product, Bear Grylls would never pick this headlight. If you do own this, its good for maybe a 2 night camping trip. October 13, 2012
Great Headlamp and Value So far I really like this product. I recently purchased this for a spring camping trip and so far I am impressed. This headlamp will do anything you need it to for the everyday camper/hiker. It really is a great value. April 4, 2012

Byon July 23, 2012
And this time, it's not something anyone from Politico wrote, or did to one of their longtime employees because he told the truth about Willard Romney and white people only to have the people who run Politico turn out to be cowards. No, indeed. This time, it's something that Politico went out and got:
Supporters like Duane Halstad, a 69-year-old who was sitting on a porch watching a parade here, said Bachmann is the "only one telling the truth about this thing." He also said he believes President Barack Obama vacations on Martha's Vineyard to observe the Islamic holiday of Ramadan. Obama is a Christian.
I don't live all that far from the Vineyard, and I've never noticed the annual hajj that apparently takes place there. I am glad that the reporter cleared that last part up, though.
Ron Carey, former chairman of the Minnesota Republican Party and Bachmann's chief of staff in 2010, said he was present during a private briefing in her office about the group. Bachmann is simply "privy to information that you and I don't have." "It was very sobering, some of the information this individual was sharing in this private meeting about the Muslim Brotherhood," Carey said. "I think she's been exposed to a lot of discussion on the Hill, and it's been an area of tremendous interest with her."
I don't know who this "individual" is, but I suspect he's wearing Frank Gaffney's underwear.
Luckily, the local Democrats have settled on a rich guy whose priorities are clearly in the right order.
Graves is betting this is the year. Later this summer, he plans to announce he has the backing of the Minnesota Independence Party, which analysts think could begin to offset Bachmann's staunch support of the party's faithful. He's not afraid to illustrate differences with President Barack Obama's policies and plans to barnstorm New York and Chicago later this summer for cash from friends and business partners... Graves plans to brand himself as a small-business job creator. His Graves 601 Hotel is among the most posh in Minneapolis in fact, it's where Obama and Vice President Joe Biden first huddled in 2008 to discuss their presidential ticket. Graves is trying to co-opt some of the libertarian support of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a popular figure here. The Democrat says government doesn't have the right to dictate who marries whom or whether a woman can have an abortion both risky positions in a district rife with evangelicals. Ask him about Obama, and he dashes away. He doesn't like how Obama "framed" the tax issue as "class separation" or "fairness" a familiar refrain from Washington Republicans. Graves would've gotten out of Afghanistan quicker, he says, and prefers the deficit-reduction plan authored by Erskine Bowles and former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.), which Obama rejected.
I can barely restrain my joy.

A Bears fan's positive-negative look at the season
If you've been a fan of the Bears for long enough, you've probably walked the line between borderline-unrealistic positivity and soul-crushing negativity before the season starts. If you're really 'bout that life, you go through both during the course of a single game. I let my overly optimistic side have it out with the doom-and-gloom nature I usually exhibit during the NFL season. Let's see what happens.

Chris Brown Denies Homophobic Slur Against Frank Ocean
Chris Brown and Frank Ocean may have gotten off on the wrong foot, however, Breezy is adamantly denying making a homophobic slur against the Odd Future crooner, who announced his sexuality earlier this month.
According to Advocate.com, the "Turn Up the Music" singer was accused of saying "no homo" after he was questioned about Ocean's sexual orientation on his way out of a nightclub in Cannes, France.
But Brown took to his Twitter account to set the record straight. "My Opinion on the whole Frank Ocean subject is ……… Love who u wanna love. It's ur decision. People stop searching for BS," he tweeted. "Everyone is so quick to point the wrong fingers at each other! Ask urself… Am I Doing everything I can to help the world ????"
He showed his support for Ocean, whose debut channel ORANGE was released a week after his album Fortune. "The world is so bent on social acceptance that we've forgotten what makes us special… Our individuality! #Imdone #readabookbitch," he added.
Last year, Chris had a public showdown with the "Thinkin Bout You" singer and his Odd Future groupmate Tyler, the Creator on Twitter, but they quickly put it behind them.
Since revealing his sexuality, Ocean has received an outpouring of support from his peers including Beyoncé, 50 Cent, Solange, and Omarion.Tweet

Here in Normandy the first true sign that fall is approaching is les pommiers which are absolutely loaded with apples--it looks as if they might just bend over and touch the ground. Basse Normandy, where we live, is in the Calvados region--'Calvados' is an apple brandy, served both as an aperitif and also as a meal ending 'shot'...and it really does pack a punch! When I am in the mood--I much prefer 'Pommeau' which is the girly-liquor version of Calvados--which is a mix of apple juice and brandy; milder, sweeter and not so strong....
This past weekend--the gorgeous October weather inspired us to make plans to hang around outside and throw an impromptu "Paella" party--not so French, I know--but we LOVE paella and have been dying to try out our pan that we bought at 'Sur La Table' in Seattle, right before moving. ('Sur la Table'--French, non?)
Here's how it turned out ....
You may notice the vintage bottle drying rack that became the centerpiece for the table. I couldn't resist using it--and that night it was fabulous with the little tea-lights lit.
If you think I seem to be procrastinating about sharing Sunday's brocante adventure--you are right. On Sunday morning--after waking and recovering from the soirée of the previous night (ie-cleaning up)....I let 'French Guy' chose the venue for the day--a small sale in Le Havre. Small? Yes. Sale? Yes. Brocante.....or even remotely 'French Vintage'......uh.....no. I am not letting him chose again. It was a total strike-out...it was a very well organized (and indoor!) junk sale; perfect only if you were looking for used toys, clothing, kitchen appliances, or baby equipment--not so much for those of us looking for shabby, chippy, cottage, farmy, Frenchie.......Quelle dommage. 'French Guy'--you are fired.
Well that's it then mes amis. I would say 'tune in this coming Sunday'--but I am not sure what the day will bring--this next Sunday is my birthday! Remember? Another reason why I love October? So I may just have to be forced to stay in bed on Sunday morning where I will be served hot coffee and warm pain au chocolate ...surrounded by my perfectly behaving, bright and cheery 'enfants'....who present me with hand-crafted birthday cards that I read while sipping my Mimosa...all while having my feet massaged.......ah, well.....a girl can dream.
Bonne Semaine, mes amis!

2008 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab Review
ground clearance
A Excellent Value For Money — Performance: Great was really surprised with diesel. Braking is good but tends to fade under heavy braking and off road driving. handling is good for its size. its got the normal ford squeaky suspension mounts and the top section off the dash rattles a bit. Its got a very muscular appearance which i love. i get about 760 km on a 80liter tank of diesel maintenance isn't to expensive. And its a lot of fun to drive but on sand and gravel roads it starts coming alive.

2008 Ford Ranger Sport SuperCab 4Dr Review
cheap to run, good work horse!!
Only big enough for 2 men.
Great Little Work Horse, Good Gas Mileage. — Not very fast but at the end of the day... its a work truck and I'd give it 5 stars for that. Its built tough, and has been put through its paces. Exterior is ok. I got the pick up bed sprayed with colour matched Line-x bedline both inside the bed and outside. along with tool boxes and ladder rack. Pretty cheap to run on gas, compared to the avergage canadian truck. Great 2 person truck, plenty of room, and enough room to store things in behind the front seats. Once all my equipment is off the truck, its nippy and pretty quick.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

2008 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4Dr 4WD Review
Powerful engine, strong, and reliable
Gas mileage
Very Good Truck With The Only Minus Being The Gas Mileage — I like the powerful V6 engine and quick acceleration and the ability to haul that I didn't have in the Mazda. My only complaint is that the gas mileage could be better but with a pickup truck with a 4.0l V6 and 4.10 gear ratio in the rear poor mileage is to be expected. It is a very fun vehicle to drive because for a pickup truck it handles quite well with its rack and pinion steering.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

2008 Ford Ranger Sport SuperCab 4WD Review
If you want a truck but don't need anything as big as an F-150.
Ford brakes and transmission
I Love It. — Like all new Fords, the brakes 'chirp' at only 20,000 miles of wear. The gas mileage is roughly around 17-20 mpg. The truck was a bit pricey for being so small though. But it was worth it. Its really hard to keep clean though with it being black.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

Gorgeous colour, good highway gas mileage.
City gas mileage not the greatest.
08 Ford Ranger Sport — Good gas mileage, great highway mileage. Build quality is great. Fun to drive, goes pretty well anywhere I want to go. Good for camping, box can handle all camping gear. Drives great, awesome acceleration, braking and handling. Nice contrast between the exterior black colour and the interior black/grey colour. Vinyl floor makes it easy to clean.

2008 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD Review
Short length overall so its easy to maneuver and park. Its good for a small "rarely needed" pickup.
The 3.0 engine gets horrible gas mileage. 14 to 15 city and 19 to 21 highway (if I barely touch the gas pedal).
How Would I Sum Up This Truck ? — This Ford Ranger Regular cab, short bed, 4x4, 3.0 Liter engine with automatic overdrive transmission is a good vehicle for light daily needs BUT, it could have had better engineered by way of manual lock out hubs for the front 4x4 axle and proper gear ratio's for fuel economy with the 3.0 Liter engine (the Ford F150 4.6 gets the same fuel mileage in a much bigger size and more cargo/towing capacity) . Its almost as if Ford got to the 29th mile of a 30 mile road race and forgot it was a 30 mile course.
