Saved these from the EBML back in the day.

You might be a Early Bronco lover if:

Your user name sounds more like a truck than a person.

When you think of Dana, you no longer think of a woman.

Your spouse accuses you of loving your Bronco more that you do her (or him for the Bronco ladies).

You spend hours waiting to hear from someone called 'OX'.

You take out a second mortgage to 'take care of a few minor
improvements'.

You have come close to running off the road while scoping out other
Broncos you pass while driving.

You've ever spent 9 hours crawling over a trail for 40 miles, to get someplace that would take an hour if you stayed on the highway.

You don't think going topless is indecent exposure

The guys at the parts store know you by first name, and fear your
visit.

You dread the first bubble of tailgate rust

Eating isn't as important as getting those new parts

You sit at work/school drawing plans for a 4 link rear suspension

You're broke!

A 'locker' is no longer a place for keeping clothes

A 'rear end' is no longer a fine piece of a$$.

You look forward to yard work so you can drag a trailer around in the woods behind your house.

You try to climb all the snow piles in the local Wal-Mart parking lot.

You spend more time on the weekend working on the bronco than doing yard work.

Your wife doesn't ask you any longer what you are doing on Saturday
morning because she knows you'll be working on the bronco.

You sit around for long periods of time trying to think of witty and funny characteristics of Bronco owners to add to a list called "You might be a Bronco owner if...."

Your license plate has the name "BRONCO" in it.

Your wife swears she will bury you in your Bronco, b/c "there is no way in hell that rust bucket is staying around after your dead!"

You buy two more packs of cigarettes on the days you work on the
Bronco.

You plan your repairs so it does not fall during your wife's cycle.

You drive 10 miles out of the way home from work to see the mods on a Bronco sitting in someone's back yard

You get a ticket for stalking, from driving real slow to see the mods on the Bronco in the back yard.

If you hesitate to either put the wife's new 2008 car in the
garage or your old bronco.

No matter what happens to the bronco, it can do no wrong.

You can talk about your 9 inch (third) member in front of friends and nobody gets the wrong idea.Like this one

You freak if someone mistakes your truck for a "Jeep".

You have a bigger picture of your bronco on your desk at work then of your family.

You strategically park your Bronco right in front of your work so you can stare at her all day long.

I just got back from a 1 week business trip in Vegas without my Bronco. I was more excited to see the Bronco than the girlfriend....

You're wife says "the bronco goes or I do" and you help her pack.

You've been in an accident and the insurance company wants to write it off, and you say, with total honesty "Over my dead body!"

You have pictures of your friends' Broncos on the walls, but none of your friends.I can relate

You know the difference between a Windsor and a Cleveland.

LSD is something that was a Ford option which you now want to replace with a locker, rather than something you heard people used to experiment with a lot to get high.

Your friends call you once a week to tell you there is a Bronco for sale that you don't already own.

You have four Broncos already in the driveway and yard and for some reason you can justify the need for the one your friend just called you about.

If you have ever broken the window out of your drivers door but didn't call the insurance company because you had a couple of spares.

If it takes twice as long to run errands because of all the people who stop you to ask about your Bronco.

If you have ever "window shopped" at a junk yard.

If you have saved boxes of parts to be used on the outside chance that you might want to return your Bronco to stock.

If you have ever gotten into an argument with the driver of a BMW because he parked it close to your Bronco.

If you ARE the UPS GUY and you make mental notes of houses that get parts from Bronco Vendors so that you can go back and check out their projects.

Your blood pressure spikes off the charts when someone tells you "nice Jeep"!

[socalrick]
