My Daughter likes the Bronco...

[77bronco_ed]

I am pumped... not being able to drive the truck in years I am driving the neighborhood and trying to get the bugs out. Still have plenty to work on.
Today I asked my daughter if she wanted to head up and get an ice cream...
When leaving she said " I thought we are taking the Bronco"
Since it was only 67 and the sun was almost gone I mentioned that it is probably too cool to drive. Her reply surprised me "It's not to cool, we will be fine." I think she likes the attention it gets...

Fun!

Looking good. Be proud.

Heck, I like the Bronco

Of course she likes it. My daughter and I went to the store the other day, when I went outside she was in the drivers seat (she is 16 with a permit). I have let her drive it on some backroads but not on the highway yet. So, away we went. Her first comment was "man, I feel like a badass driving this"! Being a good redneck, I was proud.

Awesome! We've had such a cool summer here that I permanently store a sweatshirt in the Bronco for those cool nights. Glad to have done the heater upgrade though - but not glad that I had to use it in August!

NICE RIG! my neices love mine too and keep pleading with me to install seatbelts in the back so they can all go at once....

Beautiful Bronco and great story, which got me to wondering, how long till that little girl can drive her dad in the Bronco up for an ice cream

 

[sprdv1]

LOL, good for her.. You go Dad..!!

MY daughter likes mine as well trying to talk her into driving some trails at ocbr .

CAUTION. I taught my daughter to drive in mine. Now it's her daily driver and I never get to drive it.

this is exactly why I have left the power steering OFF my bronco. So nobody else wants to drive it

It won't work. Mine still has manual everything and 3 on the tree, PLUS no A/C in this hot as hell AZ summer. My garage is still empty:-[ . She does look good driving it though.

OK here is the kicker... The funny thing is that my oldest daughter never had a ride in it yet... She just left for college again. I had it since she was born.

My youngest is now 13, so driving is starting to come up. She wanted to head out in it again today. We are taking a long drive in it tomorrow. (Long being relative I should say longer since I have not had it too far from the house just yet) A little gunshy, I want to make sure we are not going to break down somewhere. Overheating problem seems to be fixed now.


I am hoping this is a start to something, this younger one has been my difficult child we may be finally finding something in common? She helped me bleed the brakes(pumped the pedal).

I actually picked up another Bronco a year or so ago for a streetrod project. (Clean stocker-cleaner than I expected...I now have second thoughts on cutting this one up) It may take a little time but I am curious to see if she asks the question... Why do you have two Broncos? you can only drive one

Now I wish that it did not sit unfinished in the garage for so long. I missed quite a few years of fun with it... I'll have to make it up

I got a bit concerned earlier this summer , my 3 1/2 year old was asking to ride in the F250 more than the Bronco. That changed back after a ride or two and I showed her how much better she can see out of the Bronco than any of our other vehicles.
Now she throws a fit if we take anything other than the bronco , especially the wifes car.
What a great kid ...... daddy's proud

Man, are you going to be in trouble in about 12-13 years. A cutie like her and driving a bronco, you are going to have hell keeping the boys run off. You do have a shotgun, right? I think the fear of God will have to be instilled from time to time.

Thanks ,
We hear that EVERY time we go somewhere.
Daddy = former Marine with multiple "expert" firearm qualifications.
Weapons = a few hunting knives , .357mag , hunting guns , and there is a very menacing assualt shotgun that will get cleaned on "certain" evenings when certain "guests" come calling.;D

I taught all of my kids how to drive in the Bronco many years ago, it was the only rig I had with an automatic, too lazy to deal with a stick.

Funny, they all thought I was nuts to buy it, but now will not let me sell it.
