15 years or so ago, I worked with a guy who had an inexplicable affinity for the Bronco II. I don’t know if it was nostalgia, or if it was just the coolest thing he could afford at the time.

All old things are not interesting. 

That’s about the price I’d pay for a ‘93 big kahuna bronco with a 351, not this piddly wannabe

Congratulations, you made it look like a Chevy Impala! That’s a win in anybody’s book.

Accurate representation of my brother and I when dad upgraded from an extended cab to a crew cab:

It kinda makes you wonder how much joy in life we are willing to sacrifice for safety. Sure, we could all live in little foam-filled cocoons and have nutrients fed to us through a tube, but where would be the joy in that? Many have also pointed out before that even though things were less safe in the past, kids coped…

My dad was ahead of that game.  He got a used long bed pickup and the world’s heaviest wooden cap.  Put down astroturf in the back and we kids played tackle football in the back.   Actually since I am ten years younger than my nearest sibling, it was “tackle little annoying kid”.  It took more time for my smile to…

I first encountered Daniel Stern online in the early-mid 1990s on usenet in either rec.autos.driving or rec.autos.tech or one of the more specialized groups in the rec.autos hierarchy. This was before the world wide web reached any sort of significant usage level. At that time if memory serves me correctly he was…

I’m betting this is actually the debut of the new Inline-6 Turbo they’ve been “secretly” working on. Would be funny if it was 3.92 litres. 

0 to death wobble in 3 seconds.

That’s not how competition works. Jeep knows it’s not going to have the place to itself now. It’s hard to imagine the Bronco wont be an objectively better vehicle so they need to keep people interested the best way they know how: by stuffing a big V8 into it.

These are going to fly out like Hot Cakes at the local pancake feed. It looks like an FJ Cruiser that learned how to lose its top. I’m jelly

I feel like they got the retro future vibe right on this. The way the Challenger still looks great even though it’s been on sale since the dawn of time, I think this will age very well. No stupid swoops like Lexus, no crazy vents like Toyota, no whatever the fuck Nissan is doing. Just a good clean design.

Idk is it too much to ask to just be surprised for once?

It certainly is better than showing it at OJ’s birthday party.

A primetime, multi-network and -platform debut is brilliant marketing. People who don’t even know Ford stopped making the Bronco in ‘96 will be talking about the new one.

not sure it’s 99.9999%

The Cybertruck is still two years away from not being delivered in two years.

I think we are all highly suspect knowing the current system can’t even see the broad side of a semi truck.

Obligatory
