Pokey becomes my daily driver "Edit, 2 weeks in"

gnsteam · Feb 25, 2012

Tomorrow my 76 officially becomes my daily driver.

Wish me luck, I may need it. Haven't driven a carburated classic every day sense 1992.;D

you're gonna have a great time
and expect a lot of thumbs up as you're going down the road. That Bronco looks great !

Yeah baby! ;D

I love my Bronco, but don't think I could use it as a daily driver.

Loud, bouncy and lousy milage. That's precisely why I love it as my "weekender".

Have a great time with it though.

Yea that is going to be the tough part. Been driving plush F150s and the wife's SUV's for the past 18 years. However it won't be the first time around. I've driven 4 previous EBs, all being daily drivers.;D

Thanks all for the encouraging words.

Excellent.. No luck needed, just a gas card, duct tape, and BFH you'll be set..

hee hee, J/K

Enjoy that man..

Justafordguy · Feb 26, 2012

Good for you, that's a great looking EB, you'll be fine. You may want to get a front bumper so you can run over all the tiny cars.;D

You forgot the 1/2" wrench and a philips screwdriver...with those, you can fix anything on a Bronco.

Good luck Fred, You're not the only one making the transition...Mine was dubbed a DD today.

I like the name....

I posted an older picture. I installed a new bumper from TBP's a couple weeks back. Tiny cars watch out!;D;D

And good luck to you too with your DD. I'm sure we're in for a few bumps in the road. But it's going to be fun, every bumpy mile!;D

Sorry didn't know the name was already being used. I hope you don't mind me using it too.

We'll make a deal. If we are ever in the same group, you can be Pokey II.
