Going to see a man about a horse...

...is what I texted my wife as my plane touched down in Iowa today. By man, I'm referring to the late Albert from @Granger Ford (although the wonderful Samantha is who greeted me) and by horse I'm referring to my new Bronco. It's been 993 days since I reserved it. That's 2 years, 263 days, and three model year ordering banks. My dream vehicle is finally here and it's got 2 doors and 3 pedals.

A huge shout out to @Granger Ford for making this the best car buying experience I've ever heard of. The military will bring me all over the country and world, but you've earned a customer for life. I wish more dealerships were as transparent and customer focused as you guys are. Everybody in the squadron has been asking me WHY ARE YOU FLYING TO IOWA FOR A CAR?! Then I show them what I paid vs MSRP vs the markup the local dealerships are charging (I saved about $10k). That's not including Albert and @Zach@Granger's unending transparent communication in this forum, Samantha's expediting the delivery process due to my upcoming military orders, and Shelby's ability to finalize all of the paperwork prior to my arrival and coordinating a shuttle from the airport. #GotItAtGranger

Now for the 1300 mile road trip home! Trip log and build thread to follow.

P.S. pineapple definitely goes on pizza

Congrats! And I have a new saying that I'm going to start using when describing goofy things or people: "Oh him? Well, I think he's gots more pedals than doors!"

Congrats on getting your Bronco! Love the thread title. It definitely gives new meaning to the phrase!

I think the date calculator you used is off a few days if you ordered on 8/2/2020, but hey you've finally got your Bronco so enjoy your road trip home!

Good catch, it looks like I'm off by a couple weeks. But what's 2 weeks when it's been almost 3 years!
