My plan B is not a vehicle.

Made a decision to buy a vacation lake home over the weekend and will be purchasing a boat to go with it.

Needed something to look forward to.

Ford is the equivalent in my eyes to what Fredo was to Michael Corleone in “Godfather II. Complete betrayal.

Ironically, I’m in a similar mindset now. I’ll just hold on to my 2004 F150. A bit rough looking, but runs really well. I’ll hold on to my Grangetober order and see what happens. I have a lightning reservation, but thinking I’ll end up waiting until the gen2 or a different electric truck all together. If I buy a truck it might be a F150 tremor or I’ll look around at other manufacturers now.

In the near term, I’ll keep putting some money in various alt coins with use cases that I view and having good potential. Heck I might pay cash for whatever comes my way in 2-3 years. Lol
I’d keep throwing money at Bitcoin and Cardano. Just do like $50 a week in the dips. Bitcoin is predicted to go over 60k again.

If I don't get a build date in Q1 2022, I'm out and won't purchase another Ford

Bought this truck last month, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Smile factor is huge.

My Bronco will arrive sometime, and I plan to enjoy it when it arrives. I'm just not emotionally vested in a vehicle, even this Bronco. for me it's about smiles.

If a vehicle (Bronco or other vehicle), or the vehicle buying process, doesn't give you smiles...just move on and find something else that will make you smile.

I've been a Lotus fan since I was a kid and never realized they had this. I might actually preorder one. I might go AMG engine
Its not out yet. Due out summer 2022 but all first year production will be first editions loaded out with a price tag of $96k. After the first year they are gonna drop to $80k intro base price.

Leaning toward just ordering a Wrangler Sport at this point. Had one as a rental previously and was definitely not impressed, but theres not much else that fits the bill and they hold value very well. Have considered a 3rd gen 4Runner that I've wanted for awhile too

Bought my buddies 2019 Jeep Rubicon loaded with 14k miles at a trade in value 6 months ago once I learned I was out to 2023 with the Wildtrak with a painted top, also HATE the interior option on the most expensive trim level (stupid!). Here in NV there is no sales tax on a private party sale so it should be interesting when the time comes to commit if an extra $20K is worth getting the Bronco.

My Gladiator Willys EcoDiesel in Gecko Green gets here between the 19th-28th. I ordered it 8/11/21.
Gets the same gas mileage as my WRX did but with fuel that is 40c/gallon cheaper.

With how the bronco launch has been the only ford I'm mildly interested in now is the Base no options Maverick.

I’ve been pricing out Ram 1500, Wrangler Willys and GMC Sierra.

I’m not a fan of the tighter rear seat opening of the Wrangler compared to Bronco. I have 2, boys that will probably be bigger than me (6’3”, 220#), so the rear seat comfort of the Bronco was very appealing to me. I’ve always liked Wranglers, but just never pulled the trigger.

I’m done with my brand loyalty for Ford. My wife never owned a Ford until we were married. I guess she isn’t married into it any longer. I was shopping F150 Tremors too, but there Ram Rebel looks every bit as capable. Granger will get my business one way or the other on this.

Ford better wake up, because I’m passing this “experience” down to my kids. Just like my dad did with his gen1 Bronco…

Going back to a Defender. I know them and love them. The new Bronco was what the new Defender should have been. Since Land Rover fucked that up and now Ford has fucked up the Bronco, I'll go back to what I know.

I am going with a new Tundra with Hybrid. It should get 25+ mpg and also be great for the light offroading i'll be doing.

I bought a F150 Tremor last week. Am really starting to love it. Going to shift from a 4DR to a manual 2Dr Sasquatch or new special edition for 2022 and then perhaps sell the tremor when the Bronco comes it. I get a lot of shout-outs and questions on the tremor, it’s bigger than I would have preferred but am getting used to it and it is a beast on the highway and great on logging roads.
150 tremor or superduty tremor?
