Understood, I was raised in the Bay Area,-Oakland, Richmond to Vacaville CA, and had a few friends in Sacramento and know exactly what you mean about gas tax prices...But as far as the Bronco's and other off-road capable vehicles staying in pristine shape, to each his own I guess. But as an owner of a Wrangler and hopefully soon a Bronco the Real World "Badges" I will embrace fully and save the prettiness for the vette and Porsche owners #UGLYGANGThis resonates well with me.
I caught some flack, in another thread, for dismissing someone's upset over a scuff in his Bronco, by pointing out that I do not expect mine to stay pristine in appearance; I expect it to get dirty, to get scratched, to get dented. Not even based on any expectation of any off-roading I might do with it, and what that will do, but just on the abuse that my current compact sedan has taken in the nearly five years I've had it.
I'm not buying my Bronco to keep as a pampered museum piece. I'm buying it to take out into the rough Real World. A world that includes construction sites with bad terrain, but much worse than that, also includes the traffic and road conditions in Sacramento, the capital of a state that is so deeply corrupt that it keeps jacking up our gas taxes to pay for road repairs, and then, instead of using it to pay for road repairs, lines the pockets of the criminals who infest our government, who then have the excuse to jack up our taxes again to pay for the road repairs that they didn't do with the last round of jacking up taxes for that purpose.
