It's a bit big for my preferences, I tend to go for mini trucks from about a generation before this. But it's a really nice Ranger. I see what happened to the clutch, that happens. I'm sure there'll be more little surprises, but it sits well, I think you found yourself a hard worker.

I feel the same way about Asteroids and Tetris.
No matter what console, it's not ready till the finest game of 1979 is ready to go.

So, it slowed down, to create a legal following distance between it and the car in front.
So it got cut off.
And again.
Till it came to a complete stop, the software crashed, and the car had to get towed away.
The German engineers were completely gobsmacked and had no idea this would happen.

Contrawise, when I was present at the first test of what we now call adaptive cruise control, in America, (It was Mercedes, in Jersey) what happened was the car created a legal following distance happen between it and the car in front.

And of course, even with limited control of my arm and leg, I'm still driving the stick shift. As a train commuter of many decades, my real enemy was parking.

On the other hand, AI etc has managed to skip these steps, and wound up looking just really stupid to start with.

Don't forget, this is what a lot, I mean a whole heck of a lot of infomercials were aimed at. People who could not do the incredibly simple things that they showed. And then replicated with non-handicapped actors so the commercials looked really stupid.

This is technically not Murphy's Law, but a restatement. Dad worked under him, ejection seat stuff.
The original phrasing was:
If there are two or more ways to do something and one of those results in a catastrophe, then someone will do it that way.

Well, the original stuffed Winnie. The name came from a famous bear in Canada named Winnipeg.
