Ah the weekend is fast approaching! And now I wonder.....is the joy-riding Wifey gonna sheepishly ask the question? Can I pleeeease take the bronco? Now I have a problem with this. I've had said bronco for 3 weeks now and EVERY Saturday morning the question gets asked. I sure do love her (the wife that is) and we wouldn't be in the position we're in to afford these nice things if it weren't for her 😉. My daughter and her have a totally capable mall crawler in a 22 Grand Cherokee. That's what they do all day. Slide hangers and get lunch with grandma. All the while I'm home. Raking leaves etc.. dad stuff. When I want to leave I gotta take this damn Jeep!!!!! No not cool!!!

I know I'm not the only one with this problem.....🤣😂😡

You're not alone! But mine doesn't "ask" that often so I'm cool with it either way. The newness will wear off in a few months and it will be back to "Dad's truck/car" I love the look on my wife's face when she drives it - super grin and happy. You know the saying man.... Happy Wife...(you fill in the blank) :)

I would trade the heated seats and / or steering wheel for memory seats. That's my only pet peeve about sharing. The seat and mirrors are always F'd!

Have some fun with it...send her GPS coordinates of a local store she needs to check out--like a scavenger hunt or geo caching, let her take the Bronco, you take the Cherokee.. Meet at your local Ford dealer ( if they have any Bronco's) and have her trade the Cherokee !!

Ive escaped this one so far... She is nervous about driving the manual even though Ive offered to let her give it a try. She drove my 80s Nissan king cab and 90s Golf both manuals but she just wont give this one a shot.

Use mykey and program it to be less fun.... LOL 😂 That should help. Limited acceleration and top speed should make it less attractive.

I am sorry, I will have to bring it to the dealer to get it diagnosed... LOL

Bwahaha, so true. My GF asked if she could be the first to drive it (being built next month), then even offered to give me $500 if she could drive it first, and have it for a few days. I had to laugh.



So, what can I buy for the bronco with $500? j/k. I'll let her drive it here and there, but she doesn't have to pay me anything.
