A few thoughts, as someone who has researched them quite a lot and is still considering one (as I don't expect to get a 7/14 reservation MIC top Badlands this year):
- Don't drive one. They ride REALLY nicely and you'll want one... or she will even more.
- Fit/finish on the inside is fantastic...
Well, I'm back home. Many people asked me who I was, several used unkind words in asking me to leave their property, a few suggested I fornicate with myself (If only, amiright?), and almost all suggested I mind my own business. it's almost as if people can do whatever they wish with whatever...
I didn't realize there was a requirement for people to use their personal vehicle in a specific way. I better start knocking on doors making sure Wrangler owners are going off-road and pickup truck drivers are hauling things! Minivan drivers better have kids to haul, anyone with a sports car...
I used to consider myself one... never owned anything else, have a classic Ford truck, converted friends and my wife to Ford, but geez, I get annoyed with the endless Bronco wait and the fact that I dare even test drive a Defender and they're building a bonfire around the stake I've been tied to!
Some people can't just buy out their lease, and there is nothing that says used car prices are going to be just as high when the Bronco finally gets delivered (which, for many, could/will be next year). The prices will definitely not stay high forever.
I'm not in any situation with a lease or...
There are people who either can't wait any longer due to a vehicle failing or lease ending, or who can't wait any longer because current vehicle doesn't fit their needs and they have plans that require something else. There are also people who just want something new and don't see an end in...
Bringing up ANYTHING else on here brings the hate. Anything else is considered "garbage", "ugly", "not even close to the same thing", "weak", "useless"... it's kind of crazy.
Yeah, I can only take so many door handle measurement threads, off-road test-ride reports, and model comparison discussions. It's almost been a year since reservation and I'm just over not having it, or knowing when I could have it. I'm getting more enjoyment out of cross-shopping right now...
It's looking like almost all June builds are getting pushed to July (or maybe just hard tops?), which makes me think July builds will end up in August if everything doesn't get pushed even more. Really does not bode well for anyone hoping to get a Bronco this year.
After sleeping on this, I'm still pretty annoyed. Even with some possibly/maybe/could be goodish news on progress being made on the hard top issues, the fact that Badlands itself is now listed as a constraint doesn't really help things, and then I still get to wonder if I'd have a build date if...
I don't understand that. I never give those people ad revenue, both because I don't think they deserve it and because I honestly find their schtick just so stupid. I can't really wrap my head around why people pay any attention to them.
Just wait, I predict one of those knucklehead Youtube guys who like to destroy free vehicles will take the first opportunity to rip up one of the few MIC tops, just for lulz and clicks. So rewarding to be an early reservation holder waiting behind THAT. I mean, assuming I wait. This weekend...
