AMA: I'm sitting outside Bronco Dirt Mountain

[Rubisquatch]

Thanks for going, but I’m kinda bummed it didn’t look much different than last time you were there. I am now starting to think this will take a lot of time to get DM cleared. Its 9.6 miles from the parking lot at willow run to MAP. So, figure this is the typical timline:

- 15 mins…going into DM lots to find certain Broncos, then line up so they can all drive together
- 15 mins drive to MAP
- 15 mins to get into right lot at MOD center, drop off and do paperwork, take piss, get on shuttle
- 15 mins to drive back to willow run
- rinse and repeat

So, it’s easily 1 hour round trip and if workers are doing this on over time Ford is likely only running 1 shift (8 hrs) of drivers per day so this maybe is 8 trips per day, and assume 10 Broncos in a trip equals 80 Broncos taken from DM to MAP per day. And if we assume there’s 4000 Broncos at DM, that’s 50 days to clear it all. And I’m sure they will have some days off so it’s not going to be 50 consecutive days. Bottom line is gonna be a while. FU#K!

It’s 2021, why is your hat on backwards?

Have you ever used a camera? It's kind of hard to get your eye to the viewfinder with the bill of the hat sticking out forward

As stated, vehicles may be getting pulled from the back, so things wouldn't appear much different at the front even if 1000 Broncos have been moved out. I haven't seen a number for how many workers are moving the Broncos. Aren't they working around the clock? If so, it should be way higher than 80 per day.

I really want to see what that lot off of Yost Rd. looks like now. That's the one where we saw panels laying on the ground. I have a feeling that one looks a lot emptier than it did two weeks ago.

Just like the title says, I'm sitting outside dirt mountain on Sunday September 19th ask me anything.

What is the average air speed velocity of a laden swallow?

I'm so glad those roof panels are lying there just waiting for some nice wind to smash them into our broncos.

Why do they call it Dirt Mountain (other than the big ant hill in the background)? Who gets credit for that one? Lol

I think it's 75% @xcxv and 25% me?
