In the season of thanks, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the whole 6G community. This site has been of more use to me than just about any other. The total Wikipedia of all things Bronco. I've found more technical details, ideas, feedback, answers to questions, how-tos, and inspiration for doing things on here than any other. Search anything Bronco on Google, and 6G hits are two of the first three returns (after the sponsored crap). The off topic banter found is generally entertaining, and even the opinions (which might differ from my own, and are therefore wrong) are valued.
Then there is the humor. The funniest thing I have seen in recent memory was on this forum. I can't find the post now, but I'll try to explain it as my little pea sized brain processed it. The original post was by someone had swamped their truck and was dealing with host of electrical gremlins. A number of people were posting helpful replies of things to do or consider in the smorgasbord of faults, warnings, and system failures. Then someone posted with absolutely no commentary an Amazon link. I clicked on the link and it was for 50 pound bags of white rice. After a very brief WTF moment, and image of a Bronco grill poking out of a 15,000 pound pile of white rice popped in my head. This alone was enough to make me choke on my own spit. But then I started to think about the NEXT owner of this riced Bronco and what their first post on 6G would be. I imagine the post would go like this:
"Hey all! Just bought a used Bronco this week and I absolutely LOVE it, but there are a couple strange things. I'm hoping for a little help.
1) Driving this thing is like being in Hitchcock movie. BIRDS, BIRDS, BIRDS! Every where I go, this thing just gets swarmed by an incredible number of birds! Does anyone else have that happen?
2) I thought the interior might be a little dampish inside with the removable roof and doors. But, no, it's like the driest environment on the face of the planet. I had to buy a case of Carmex my lips are getting so chapped. Why is that? Is it the A/C system or something?
3) Finally, there is this stuff. I can't seem to get control of it. I've vacuumed the thing at least six times already. But every time I do ANYTHING (like stop, accelerate, turn, or even close the damn door) more of this stuff shows up. First, I thought it was maggots or grubs or something. But looking closer, it seems more like white rice maybe? Any thoughts there?
I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance!"
Then within 10 minutes of that post, I have ZERO doubt SOMEONE on this forum would reply:
"Oooohhh, you bought THAT Bronco. Let me give you the back story on your truck....."
Now, any time I have Chinese or Teriyaki, I think "heh, white rice...heheh" like Bevis and Butthead.
Any way, good on ya. I've really enjoyed the valuable time I've pissed away on this forum. I haven't yet missed the portion of my retirement that has been flushed on cool Bronco bits that I don't need. You are all jack a$$es in my book and I mean that in the VERY BEST way possible! Thanks and buck on!
