It finally happened! After 514 days of waiting, I picked up my 2dr Black Diamond from Granger last week! The experience at Granger was second to none. Thank you @Zach@Granger for everything you and your team do!

There are plenty of other driving impressions here so I'll keep mine brief. This was my first time driving the 2.3L and it has plenty of get up, more than I expected for a vehicle this heavy. Sound system definitely isn't great, better than I expected but could benefit from a sub. Wind noise at 65mph was a little more than I expected, but not too bad. No whistle from the mirror, but it sounded like wind coming through between the passenger side front panel and the rear clamshell. I inspected and everything looked fine so I took it through a touch free car wash to confirm that everything is sealed. No leaks at all.
Overall, this thing drives great and I loved every second of my drive back through the snowstorm to MN! This is the third Bronco I've owned. An '83 named Jones, then a '95 named Jasmine. So, without further ado, may I introduce to you, Joleen.
