Hey stealurface, to appease all these middle-aged men that are upset about your nice whip, maybe you should have the TGR collective decide what your customized plate will say. Could be fun. Could be bad.

Week of 7/16 build date. Woot!
Standard plates for me.
Nice. My wife has a build date for the following week. I told her I’d get more tgr street cred if she went for the manual, but alas she wanted the 2.7 auto.Quote:

I'd have no problem with it. Besides, horsepower difference between that and the 6 is negligable (30 maybe?), and it's torque is still not bad. 325 vs 415 lb-ft. Worth it to get the manual IMO!!!
Having my daughter learn to drive a manual transmission was a major win. She hated it. But she is grateful. And her new to her car is a manual. Thing #2 spent a lot of time on it. Thing #3 didn't get as much time before I returned the last lease. Nothing like having them learn on someone else's clutch. Worth every penny.
Full agreement with you on observations about the power plant. It dwarfs the small v-8 in an old explorer I’m keeping and can’t seem to kill. Been the best $ for $ car I’ve ever owned.Quote:

Well this one is going to be on my dime. Hope they are merciful. I did it to my folks’ cars - guess they are now going to return the favor. It’s a life skill of sorts.Quote:

Stoked for you MK. My stepson told me if I got him a stick he wouldn't drive it so I gave him a stick of course. I did have to replace the clutch last year because the throw out bearing failed but totally not his fault...it was already making noise when I gave him the car. I always teach that if you aren't stalling the car once a day you are slipping the clutch too much.
Really looking forward to hearing how these manual Broncos pan out for people.
Just spotted a full size in the wild for the first time. Gotta say, the 4 door is pretty fuckin massive. Looked significantly bigger than the wrangler from a side view.

I was with the Funhaver Bronco on the Rubicon a couple weeks ago. It’s alright. It can pull off a difficult trail and drive back home on the highway. Interior was a little boring for me, but I think they tried to keep it simple like the original Broncos. They had the new Bronco parked next to a classic at Rubicon springs. The styling is actually very similar between the two. There’s some sheet metal crease that is the exact same. I just bought what I think is my last vehicle, a Jeep JLR, so not really thirsty for the Bronco.
I spotted one on the lot so I pulled over to check it out. I’m more interested in the two door so I walked around the lot to see if there was one.

no two doors and no hard tops. Here’s one next to a bronco sport though. Big difference.

Gonna be seeing a lot more soft tops for next several months. Soft top not an option on 2dr. Very few of them out.
