What's your unpopular Bronco opinion?

[malt_liqueur]

Here's a tough one to swallow for most:
Manual transmission is for enthusiasts; automatic is for folks who are not enthusiasts. I agree that the automatic is more convenient. But if you truly love cars (the feel, the drive, and the marriage of man to machine) the convenience is outweighed by the want and need to row your own gears. It is a good litmus test for enthusiasts: does your love of driving outweigh your love of convenience?

Its like loving and using a car's autopilot system (Tesla owners) and still saying your a "car guy"... no, your a tech guy who has a tech-y car.

I think you are very much over simplifying this and like most things it is not entirely black and white. You cant just divide folks into two buckets based on that one simple factor.

Unpopular (or perhaps popular but most are afraid to say it out loud):
People who peruse the pages to look for ways to get offended, directly quote said offender, and dare them to reply.
Especially heinous are the ones who post back to back replies in a thread, quoting multiple people, inviting multiple arguments/strife. A new post for each person.

agree to disagree....I blew up my knee twice while I was active duty Navy and had reconstruction on it twice. This makes operating a clutch in traffic in the 4th largest city in America far from desireable. I just can't do a manual in Houston traffic. I had multiple manual cars til I had that second reconstruction. Then it was all over for me. Some people buy automatics for reasons other than "convenience".

Of course! I just like to oversimplify and enjoy the funnnn! You obviously have a great reason to need an auto

That's not very American of you.

Guess I’ll go torch my RS7 and buy a Mazda Miata. Then I’ll be a ‘car guy’. While I’m at it I’ll give away my weekend race car too. What a fully flawed premise that you have to drive a manual to be a car guy.

yaaaaasss dude - if you can afford that and a Merc G, just get a 911 R and don't look back!

Well, I think your hair looks dumb.

If the shoe fits, feel free to lace that bish up and wear it.
And I don't have hair, by the way.
It was all shot off in the war.

Sold the wagon to get the Audi. Now I’m without an off-road vehicle (other than a side-by-side) until the Ford Gods look upon me with pity. Lucky it’s coming into Season. Assuming it ever warms up

Eh, I don't care. I'm just here to converse. Sorry about your hair. They give purple hearts for that?

You mean Buck? Yeah, he has a name. Also, I don't mean to be a grammar nerd, but I think, on this forum, it's spell "Neigh".

"The war"

Nah. No purple heart here (and tons of respect for those who do have them).
Probably a poor taste joke in retrospect if taken the wrong way.
It was 100% a nod to the jokes made of Cotton Hill getting his shins shot off in the war.

No. 7 just doesn't make any sense to me. I got the Badlands specifically because it didn't have carpet and had the drains. Why take that away because I also want Adaptive Cruise Control? Or am I misunderstanding it?

No. 7. The Outer Banks is the “fancy” from factory like the Jeep Sahara with painted fenders and such. For the other trims, I think when you get the High or Lux packages, it’s getting too fancy and carpet should come in fancy vehicles. I got a Base. I feel like it should come with rubber floors like a XL trim truck does. You’ve got me thinking though and I’m not married to this one like I am the others. Maybe they should all be rubber floors regardless of trim or options since it is designed to be a true utilitarian vehicle? Alas, it is my “unpopular” opinion.
Also, I have adaptive cruise in my F150 and have had it in several other vehicles. I hate it. It leaves too big of a gap and people jump in causing my cruise to hit the brakes then hit the gas again to catch up and I loose precious MPGs.
