Need to cool it on the Bronco talk

Need to cool it on the Bronco talk

Postby akaFrankCastle » Mon Nov 29, 2010 12:37 pm

The wife and I went for a drive up to Woodland Park this weekend. After spending Turkey day weekend cooped up in the house, it was nice to get out and go for a drive. (Sorry Gregg. I'll try and check out that one Bronco you asked me about ASAP!)

Along our drive, I spotted 4 Early Broncos. One I already knew about. It has been sitting next to someone's house for about 2 years now. The other three were all new to me. Two parked in front of one house and another tucked away in a garage. On spotting the one in the garage (identifiable only by a quick glimpse of a window frame and belt line chrome trim) I excitedly announced "Look! Another Bronco!" for the third time that day. That was met with a look. The type of look that said "all the time you have been spending on the Bronco boards and talking about Broncos and STILL you bring them up on our drive?"

Time to celebrate a new discovery silently. At least until we start taking Bronco drives again. icon biggin

Note: I didn't hand out any sighting cards to the ones I spotted. Didn't think it appropriate during quality spouse drive time. I will be going back later this week though.

Sbolt, I have a google map I am creating/updating with all of my Bronco sightings. I'll shoot you a link when I get the chance.

Classic, haven't seen that show but I have heard about it.

It has been fun to see my wife notice them on TV and Music Videos. She saw one over the weekend in the new Jay-Z Video - Forever Young!
