That’s awesome as long as I don’t think about it too much. Then it’s kind of scary.

You really need to build a boulder out of grey Legos to park that on!

Am I the only one who DOESN'T like the Technic sets and prefers the Creator ones? I have the James Bond Aston, the F40 Ferrari, etc.. They actually look like cars similar to the Mustang shown above.

Farah has both on road and off road reviews of the Defender on The Smoking Tire. He's not a Defender fanboy like Doug (although TBH Doug seemed pretty fair / impartial on the new one). Worth checking out as well.

That's a good point... I'm probably no different than a lot of people in that on-road characteristics are most important to me. While I think Bronco will be best in class off-road as well (depending on spec) I'd settle for very good if that's the compromise to make livable DD.

Yes and no. Jeeps annoy me. That said I am not a longstanding Bronco lover, thought they were cool when I was a kid then never gave them another thought. I just need a tank to drive in bad weather, new with a warranty. Would look at FJ if they had one, 4Runner bores me, Defender maintenance...

That’s really cool, bookmarked that in case I ever get a bigger dog. Current little guy would take one look at that and be like “neat, now pick me up”

He doesn’t like having the top down but puts up with it around town / low speed at the beach. Otherwise prefers one of the other cars.

Probably not worth the effort to build a ramp, there are tons out there. https://www.thedrive.com/reviews/32021/best-dog-ramps-for-cars-and-suvs

I was in a bad accident in my Touareg... codeveloped with Porsche so the car was well engineered. I was doing 30-ish in lower Manhattan when a cab ran a stop sign, going about the same speed, hit me headlamp to headlamp bent my frame and everything. $31K in damage. Dog (15lbs so not as bad) was...

Too big for a dog car seat but you could def do a harness and seatbelt tie down. I forget all the physics per second per second crap but 75lbs going 60 mph turns into a projectile.

I've got a folder of Bronco favorites saved in my browser. I know nothing about Ford aftermarket but every time someone here links something good I make sure to save it. BMW I could literally rattle off part manufacturers and part numbers from memory, this is all new to me though.

I ran that unit on my Cannonball drive. It worked fine. We didn’t hear anything interesting but the unit itself was easy to install and worked as advertised.

Going to replace my BD badge with a flat & gloss black version of my FJ Motors badge, it's about the same size and shape. Will look factory - but not at all. I usually have custom BMW hood badges made for my cars w/ my initials (BEM) instead, but I haven't come up with anything similarly...

Neighboring state is easy they can often handle all the paperwork for you even. Further away more is on you but still not onerous. One thing to note, not sure anyone mentioned but your dealer should discount you the fee for the inspection in your home state e.g. last time I bought a car in NJ...

I may actually look at a Sport for my mother. She's in a 3-series now so would look at another one of those, XC40, new VW ID4 (throw an electric in the mix). and the Bronco Sport.

My 2021 finally came today, parked in the driveway at the house. 1967 Zoolander Bronco in the background at the hotel. The random pile of stuff top left is nephew's attempt at a house - it's mostly bus parts with some misc. Duplo mixed in.

Track car sure, but truck? I don't get the super truck thing (I've driven a few). Just felt like I was going to die faster.

This makes no sense to me. The 392, Trackhawk, etc. If you only have one parking space MAYBE but why wouldn't you want a nice, normal SUV (Wrangler or Bronco) then a dedicated sports car? Nicely equipped but not crazy Bronco then an M235 coupe or something similar and you're right around $90K...

I would think you'd want the 40% behind the driver right? There will always be a driver, but with the passenger seat all the way forward you'd have maximum "long storage" or whatever you want to call it for hauling stuff unless I am missing something. Same reason when you hop in a town car or...
