I just love that story! Thank you for sharing!Picked up mine Saturday!! 2-door Black Diamond. It was a 7/13 blend. I get to enjoy it this week, but then my daughter gets it. It's really more for her. Funny story--I think those of us who love Broncos have it in our blood. I had a 1969 pebble beige Bronco when I was in law school. My favorite car ever. But it wasn't practical for a new job. It sat unused for months and then I spent the summer of '94 replacing the engine myself, to sell it to buy my wife's engagement ring. Fast forward many years and my 15 year old daughter (who didn't know that story) showed me a magazine picture of the car she said she wanted when she could start driving....it was an old Ford Bronco!!! Amazing. I told her that if she kept her grades up, got into UGA (Go Dawgs!) with a full scholarship, I'd get her one. To my pleasant surprise, she did that, so I started looking at old Broncos. Sadly, I had to break my promise when I realized what a drivable old Bronco sold for (over $60K) and realized that I didn't want my baby girl driving a truck with no shoulder belts much less air bags. Fortunately, we learned Ford was bringing back the Bronco, so the two of us sat together, both scrambling to log onto Ford's website, the night they opened up orders. We've been waiting for this since then. Now she's a senior at UGA and is getting an early graduation present. I suppose the point is, for her, and for all of you still waiting for your Bronco....be patient and good things eventually happen! Good luck everyone!
