My wife gave me a super cool Bronco-themed birthday gift, then also broke my Bronco.

Update: Ford only supplies either the back cap of the side view mirrors, or else you have to get the entire mirror replaced, camera and everything. $1300. *sigh*

My wife threw me a nice little birthday shindig last night. She and the kids gave me the coolest birthday gift; they had the picture of my Bronco from the production line blown up and framed! So cool!

Before hand, though, she asked to take the B out and have it detailed, which was super sweet, and I said of course. Well, afterward she was backing it into the garage, and munched the driver-side mirror on the garage frame . She felt super bad, but it’s all good. I called my dealership up this morning and added “new mirror” to an upcoming service appointment (the right, rear frame-mounted speaker way blown on delivery, so they’re gonna replace that). I find out today if they can just replace the plastic casing (mirror still works) or if they’ll have to replace the whole thing.
Anyway, a cool gift and a funny story that I thought I’d share.

You have a great looking family there. Normally I would reply “ no big deal, they make ten thousand mirrors a day”, but today, I am not so sure. Happy Birthday.

It’s totally kickass. We call it the birth photo . I want to put it on the wall with all the kids’ pictures, but I guess that’s “too much.”

Happy Birthday!.. super nice!..

Tell her dont feel bad, in 2007 we got a GMC Acadia, biggest vehicle at the time my wife had drove, we were stationed in West Palm Bch, lived down a dirt road on the outside of town, the country part, well anyways, a dirtroad scraper was coming towards her and she smacked a mailbox thinking they were gonna hit.

Later on, she was driving my lifted Dodge 2500 on 35s, lol. Its all about learning.

That's why we drive head on into garage and back out. If you ever let wife back up your Bronco again fold in the mirrors first. You have cameras, who need mirrors

Hmmm, I wonder if someone will come up with an ultrasound photo of a bronco now for those who are waiting.
