In 1996 I got a 1984 straight six Bronco that had been owned by DNR and was tan inside and out. It was my first car. Did I want tan? no. Did it suck? Yes. Did I love it? It made a life-long fan out of me.I think going forward we should stop saying things like, “I am ok with the new delay”. Ford is listening. We don’t want them to think it’s acceptable to have more delays. We can use code like, “I am ok with pineapple pizza” or something like that.
ex: I have been waiting for it since 1996 and l am ok with pineapple pizza, but it really does suck.
I sold it for a 1998 Wrangler off the showroom floor. I hated that wrangler. It was new, it was convertible. I didn't like it. I sold it with 7k miles on it for a used Monte Carlo.
In 2000 I bought a 1979 Bronco. it was blue on the outside and blue on the inside. Would I have ordered it like that? Maybe, maybe not. Did I love it? With all my heart. When i wasn't driving it I would hug it, and my greatest regret is selling it.
I guess maybe because I owned a blue on blue 1979 makes me more acceptable of the Navy Pier interior and Antimatter Blue exterior. Maybe I like the MIC top on the AMB because my 79 had been painted, by the previous owner, in the same color scheme.
Maybe I understand that COVID is a real problem and has caused delays, that Ford had planned to launch this fall and had that plan thwarted by a pandemic.
Maybe I know that the Bronco is going to hold value like the FJ Cruiser and the Jeep Wrangler. that I will have no problem trading up for a 2023 or 2024 Warthog if I so choose.
As January 15 approaches, my enthusiasm only grows.
