No Bronco for me. I won't even see its launch. I saw TFL was complaining online because they were uninvited to the launch. Not quite sure what that was all about.
People are crazy wanting to be the first person to show new pictures of it. I quit. I'm tired of all the leaked photo nonsense. It will be here soon enough. I'm patiently waiting.
I do need to email Ford this week and get some Bronco and Bronco II production numbers. I've found bad info online that keeps getting reposted. I need to clarify the numbers.
This automotive stuff gets so tiring. I started sharing Ranger stuff online 21 years ago as an enthusiast that loves Rangers. It was a hobby. Now there are so many people with blogs and youtube channels trying to get free stuff (for themselves) or strike it rich online. I felt weird just asking Ford to loan me a Ranger.
This brings me to something else. My biggest regret about the Ford Ranger Media Drive I went to in California in 2018.
Fred William's was there from 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine. I recognized him, even though I had never met him. For some reason I figured he'd be some arrogant guy since he's been around for so long, and I never made an effort to approach him because I'm just some guy with a website. But as the evening went on, I realized that he was just a quiet chill guy that nobody was talking to, and really kick myself in the ass for not having the nuts to go up and talk to him.
It will be nice to see a Bronco in person. I spent several days with my daughter helping her shop for a Jeep Wrangler 4-door. She finally got one. I can see why people get so infatuated with them. My daughter was talking about getting new wheels and tires before we even left the dealership.
Here's the Jeep she got:

And here's the one I was eyeballing:
