Good Bronco Karma
Ever have one of those days that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy about owning and driving a Bronco? Let's hear about them. The "You know what sucks?" thread is great, but it's always nice to have a little positive reinforcement to put some fuel in the Bronco motivation tank. For me, it's been a great week. On Saturday, while trying to find my second vacuum gauge (still have no clue where the first one is), I found all of that paperwork for my Bronco that I thought I had thrown out. And where was it? In the drawer of my Craftsman chest where I keep all the other paperwork! And the title? Filed in the filing cabinet with all the other titles. Doh! And on Tuesday morning, I go out to start the Super Duty to go to work at 5:30am. No go. Plenty of crank, but no fire. Check the tach and see no movement. Cam position sensor went bad on me. On a whim I the key in to the Bronco and it fires right up on the first crank. And finally, yesterday while driving home I get a from another driver on the road. And what is he driving? A Jeep, completely decked out in F'N Jeep stickers and a personalized "FN JEEP" license plate. I suspect he works at the local F'n Jeep here in town. Been a good week!

Re: Good Bronco Karma
Booger and I were talking about our grand kids and how much they love them some Bronco. My granddaughter and I were going out to a movie and lunch last fall and she was grinning ear to ear and enjoying the day out in the Bronco. Then she says,"Grandpa, everyone is looking at us because we have the coolest car in the world!" Love the Bronco, at least when it's running, but love that granddaughter more.

Re: Good Bronco Karma
Got a big from a "kid" in a newer lifted Cheby pick'em'up truck the other day. Kinda surprised me, but I guess all the "kids these days" aren't screwed up.

Re: Good Bronco Karma
All good news Zack!! If you drive by FN jeep, you'll see an EB out back. My guess is you got a nod from the owner of that rig.
