I went through it a little (might have even been a F150 or F250, cant remember). But some of what they consider "accessories" I would just consider extra crap to spend money on that has been Ford branded! (I'm looking at you, roadside emergency kit with flares and reflective triangle)

I was planning on getting an F250 King Ranch Tremor before the new Bronco was announced, so I’ve built and priced those quite a few times. Pretty seamless and easy. Hope it is the same for the Bronco.

I had a dream that I broke into the zoo butt naked while waving an American Flag and freed all the kangaroos. If that’s not a sign we need B&P now I don’t know what is.

DAY 13

English or Math? English and Voc Sem here, just finished my sub plan for tomorrow and should write one for Friday if B&P is coming out...or integrate it into class. Any suggestions from the fine forum folks on making that a lesson?

I would imagine the “B & P going live” would be a great time (for your subject area) to teach that words have meaning. You can discuss Homonyms and how “BY, SEPTEMBER, MIDDLE, and ROCKSTARS” are not Homonyms.
Just brainstorming here..

It makes zero sense to roll out a major website change on Friday when most programmers are off for the weekend. That’s why I bet Ford will release it on a Friday. :/

By Mole he means Groundhog.... lol jk.
Can't wait, it'd really help me get my chickens in a row.

Right? I work in the graphic design field, and though I'm no programmer or IT guy—the general mantra at EVERY place I have worked for the last decade has been "never launch on a Friday". The reasoning being, or course, that if something "breaks" or goes wrong—it will be on the weekend. We don't typically work weekends in my industry, so a Mon or Tue launch is typical. AND... those are normal, run of the mill websites. Maybe with some e-commerce, but nothing like this Bronco B&P should be.

I'm not forecasting or throwing my opinion in... just speaking from my own experience. It's certainly safe to say that as far as THIS goes—I have no idea what's going to happen. Except that it won't be today lol.

would it be different if they have their IT/web guys scheduled to work sat?

Only in the fact that they might sacrifice the weaker IT guys yo the technology gods.

And Sunday. And Monday. And...

Yeah, maybe.

Everyone is working from home in their pajamas anyways.

Monday's are bad for launches- everyone is goofing off at work.

Not cool, not cool at all. October 23rd is my 18th wedding anniversary. Any advice on how to approach this potential minefield is greatly appreciated.

Send her off for long spa day, problem solved.

Edit: Someone beat me to it.

Budget, wants vs needs, job to pay for it, savings for other needs.
