If I tried to sell mine my wife and daughter would probably have me committed.
They would know that I have finally lost my mind.

I sold my first Bronco when I moved to Boston after college and always knew I would get another one some day and I did. You have to do what is right for you 3 now and I have a feeling there will be another Bronco in your future. You know you will always be a Bronco brother to all of us even with out a Bronco.

They are all good things that invoke great memories, so how can any of it be bad. Might even be motivating to put that pile of parts (as tasker calls them) in the back of your garage together.

Doing the right thing for the right reason is never a bad thing.

You have to look on the bright side.
No more busted knuckles.
No more expensive mud tires.
Less money spent on parts and fuel.
Less gray hair from trying to figure out wiring,carb problems,rust repair,etc. etc.......:(

Trust me...that "pile of parts" as Tasker puts it, will be reorganized very shortly...
All great memories with it...
I told the kids that it was for sale last night before I dropped them off to an event for Girl Scouts. When I picked them up later on in the evening, the first comment out of their mouth once they got into the car was "I don't want you to sell the Bronco!"

Two great kids...they're not happy about it, but I'm always honest with them and they understand why it's gotta go.

Honesty is always the best way man.. You definitely gotta do what you gotta do, some things just take priorites over others.

It'll help me afford the "surprise!, I'm going to work days!!" day care costs I've been thrust into paying. But, the kids come first. Always.

I thoughht about unloading both of mine do to my back inury. It's hard for me to watch em sit and rot while I'm laid up. At the end of the day my back will get better and I'll want another one. The thought of starting from scratch on another keeps me from selling mine.

My dad has had and sold several Broncos in his lifetime. Over the last 40 years my brother and I never pass up an opportunity to kindly remind him that we still disapprove. ;D

It's not even gone yet, but the kids are already telling me that they'll miss the Bronco...

They ARE excited about building the other one I have, but I don't know when that one will start...
