Quick stop at Sasco Beach for lunch today.

Nice. Loving it so far? Any quibbles?

It has been great - always finding excuses to take it out. Biggest gripes for me would be wireless CarPlay (whether it works is hit or miss) and the electronic parking break (I have the 7 sp manual and pressing a button for the parking brake rather than pulling a handle is odd/leads to forgetfulness). Also, I found that the rear windows scratch very easily when having them off in my trunk. I bought a cheap storage sleeve on Amazon made for Jeeps to store all the windows and that seems to have resolved it, but something that I wish I was aware of from day 1.

@hollyw00d I have a 7 speed manual too. Today I was driving someone else's car, an Audi, and when I stopped, I instinctively reached with my left hand to put on the parking brake. I guess it's a habit now. @hollyw00d

@Steve62

@Steve62 yep, I assume I will get to that point eventually. The parking brake in my wife's car is also a button, but on the right side... so yet another thing to mess with my old brain.

@hollyw00d

My brain's old too. When I drive my wife's automatic my left foot is always looking for the clutch. @hollyw00d

Yeah, the windows scratch. It’s new so it’s more annoying. On my jeep, I rarely take the back window fully off. I unzip and leave it connected over the rear gate opening. It has protected it very well. Many roll it but that scratches it quickly. Never wipe it with a cloth. Spray it with a power washer. If needed there are cleaners made for boats that will buff the scratches mostly out.

@CT203

@CT203 helpful tips, thanks!

Your Bronco looks great. Love the look with just the windows off. And thanks CT203 for the window tips!

Agree, just the windows off looks really good and sets it further apart from a Wrangler.
