I was waxing my Bronco in front of my apartment Saturday. A guy stopped by and said he had wanted to check it out but never saw anyone ask to see it. He did ask me out to dinner. I turned him down. Way younger and has an 8 year old.

I forgot to add, he called my Bronco a Jeep, twice.

Any of you guys buy an extended warranty? If so, was it with Granger?

i bought the ford one when i purchased the bronco. they wanted to charge some outrageous price, so i showed them granger's price, and they matched it lol. if your dealership won't match, i know most go through granger or ford flood.

Granger for me. Dealer said they could not match it.

I went through Grainger and I had 104k Ford points so I put it towards my total.

I joined a 4-wheel club at church. We’re supposed to go out next weekend. I’ll post pictures if we go.

Here’s a little story about situational awareness or the lack there of. The wife/pup/I are camping in the Smoky Mountains this week. We come here a lot, but never have been exploring to the West of the park. Well, all that changed yesterday and made a memorable outing we will never forget. As we are enjoying the weather and scenery of lakes and mountains, we come upon a sign that warns motorcyclists of sharp turns and and a high crash risk up ahead. Since we are in the Bronco, no worries! A couple of miles down the road, our peaceful curvy drive came to an abrupt halt! I hear a loud pitch scream of an engine. I barely have time to check my mirrors as two sport bikes blow by me like I’m parked.

I spend the next 11 miles of white knuckle driving as Mustangs, Corvettes, racing bikes, Harleys, various exotic cars either blow by me or damn near hit me head on in sharp turns.

We come to a spot we’re the road finally widens and there are several cars stopped. I get out so the pup can relieve himself. There is a guy standing there and I ask him what the hell is going on. He looks at me and chuckles. “Dude, you just drove The Tail of the Dragon!”

Stressful!!!

Stressful!!!

It was even more stressful knowing we had to go back the way we came! Channeling my inner Mario Andretti, I dropped the Bronco into sport mode and let her rip! Well, at least, as much as I could let it rip in a Bronco! The ride back was later in the day and a lot less traffic, so it was certainly more relaxing than round one. My wife swears I knew all along what was happening. I promise I did not!

Since you're new in town, I posted this link so you can consider an outing or a festival to go to every weekend if you want. Festival season is finally here (Spring) Looking forward to the Ritz Tocca BG Festival myself

The "Jeep" thing ruled him out no matter his age.

I have a question... a stupid question...!! I tried to put my back seats down once a few months ago and the head rests hit the front seats. I have not tried again and have not looked it up in the manual. I know... bad... bad... Nancy. How do I do that?

There’s a button on the side of the headrest I believe so you can fold it down so it doesn’t hit the seat.
