Do You Get Compliments on Your Bronco Very Often?

I get them all the time, whether its a thumbs up, a fist pump or similar gestures when driving around town.

But this is the coolest compliment yet...

There was a crane operation at work the other day setting HVAC equipment into place and they left the site before my shift ended.

Well I walk out to the Bronco at shifts-end and found this really cool hat wedged into my drivers side rear view mirror... must have been the crane operator or one of the riggers. :cool:

That’s because you were parked closest to the operation. He probably wants it Back! :)

A couple of guys that work at Ness Cambell crane have Broncos. We have used them a few times to set tilt panels. We were setting panels at the Tillamook Cheese factory. Got talking with crane operator. He owns one as well as a truck driver for them. So that could have something to do with it if they were working there......

Drove mine to Government Camp for lunch a couple days ago and had a couple of skiers and then a couple of boarders pose for pictures next to mine. I didn't mind that but when the guy with two dogs stopped I made sure he knew that yellow snow would make me happier than the dogs peeing on my wheels - LOL

Took my Bronco to the cruise in instead of my 48 Pro Street Anglia, this guy is standing looking at my Bronco, says to me, “Like looking at a unicorn”. Nuff said!

I have more questions than answers.
On my way home from buying my U13 in December I stopped for fuel. Had 3 people stop and ask me about it, they all knew it was a Bronco and loved it. This was in a town of only a couple thousand people.

Most everybody who walks in my back lane. While I'm out there comments like on how cute or compact it is. Some, who are really in the loop tell me their bringing back the Bronco. I just nod and say Iv'e heard something about that, but I'll just keep this one.;D

Every time I drive it I get comments at the gas pump, at stop lights and thumbs up when riding beside folks. Once or twice I’ve gotten the “nice J**p” comment. In my mind I’m like really!!! but I calmly use the opportunity to educate the poor sheltered souls. I also take every opportunity I get when someone ask about my Bronco to let them know it was my grand paws. Every time I get behind the will is a great memory of riding down logging roads and deer hunting. That’s why I’ll never paint the interior door panels, grand paws arm rubbed that paint off from riding around with his arm sitting on the window. Sorry to ramble :cool:

Comments ALL the time! I've told this on here before but the first time my wife and I pulled out on the bypass after we bought our tan '66 restomod (from this site!) two big Harleys were coming toward us with a man and woman on each one. Soon as they saw our Bronco all four of them raised a "thumbs up" to us.

Maddog B, I love it!

The thumb's up, the waves, and smiles. And always the "you want to sell that?"
