Arrogant A-hole At-Large
With the uncertainty of the 'storm of the century' coming my way or not, decided to take the Bronco for a spin and feel her out. Was only planning to take her out to the gas station so when the refineries get overwhelmed with the hurricane I still have gas. Anyway, filled her tank, and 3 other spare Bronco tanks I have...I figure at 3.31/gal it wouldn't hurt to have 100 gallons of spare fuel anyway.
So what was supposed to be a quick jaunt down the street turned in to about 750 miles, doubling my annual total. I tell ya, that's basically the point to this thread...there's absolutely nothing like hopping behind the wheel of a rig that shakes the ground and will go any direction you point it. Man the ego stroking that goes on with the interest drawn from passer-bys and the intrigued in parking lots. Regardless of the fact that it desperately needs a new booster, tires and steering components from the steering wheel to the box, it was the most fun I've had driving since...probably the last time I drove one of my older rigs.
I've got a buddy with some 95% Iroks he's gonna let go cheap, planning on going hydroboost and I guess I'll have to give Borgeson and Red Head a call on behalf of the Bronco...just gonna have to flat out find time to fix it. But man I haven't had a smile that big in a long time. At one point Bailee hollered at the top of her lungs how childish and obnoxious I was being gunning and chirping from every stand still...
