But, I don’t have to work on the new one. I’ve got too many cars to work on. Some have to go.

I dunno.... how much $$ was tied up into the '77?
Sure looked nice. |

Nice...
I'll bet the new one won't flip and kill you as easily. |

It reallys sucks, but we all knew it would happen. It happen to the Jeep guys already.
As soon as a family-friendly, 4-door option came along, soccer mom everywhere bought up the latest "I look tough" SUV. Now I drive around in my OG '69 Bronco, there are no waves from soccer moms or stuffy urban dads driving the other way. Nope, they all have their head in their phone or doing their makeup. They don't live up to the heritage of their vehicle. No manly men towing work trailers or heading off to cut firewood. I do get a ton of waves from from college-age girls in Jeeps, but it just feels wrong. |

One of em is a helluva head turner. The other one is the one you just took possession of. Becoming a dime a dozen-mobile quickly

Wow! Thanks, OP!
This post makes me feel so much better about my life. NONE of my fuckups are this bad. TC ETA: My ex has a new Bronco. 2.7 motor that is already throwing check engine lights. It’s only a matter of time before it swallows a valve. |

Now you have to drop an LS7 in the new one to make up for it.

If I had a reliable grocery getter there's no way I would have made that trade but whatever makes you happy.

Ignore the haters, I'm a fan of modern tech. Unless you're going for EMP resistance.
Looks sharp, I've been watching a lot of Bronco videos lately. I so want a Sasquatch Badlands but need to win the lotto first. |

I sorta get it. But, yeah, you did make a mistake.
Enjoy the new ride and don’t check the rear view mirror. |

The level of WRONG in selling that is astounding.
The work you put into it, then selling it to someone else who can now be way cooler than you. But if you needed a daily driver I can understand. Sort of |

Yeah I wouldn't have done that , but as long as you're happy .

I remember not long ago I could buy these all day long for <$10k. Perfectly clean, old man owned, no rust. I used to love them, still do actually. |
