Who lets their significant other drive their Bronco?

My fiance grew up in her dad's old '73 Bronco so when she met me and found out I had a '68 it was all over for me... Since we've had a couple nice days out she asked if she could drive the Bronco to work this morning and after trying to persuade her not to I caved in and tossed her the keys. Who else lets their significant others drive their Bronco?

For me the better question would be, "who can get their significant other to drive their Bronco?" Not me. :)

That's cool that she actually enjoys driving it. Makes it easier to justify a 2nd (and 3rd Bronco) purchase!

I got mine her own, that way there's no issue;D At least not until it needs some work, then it's "When are you going to fix mine?":-X

I need to build a bigger shop so I can work on all the different projects at the same time%)

Mine will barley ride in it let alone drive it! Seems nobody even knows how to drive a stick anymore and the 3-on-the-tree just adds to the confusion. Id let anybody drive mine, but the manual steering, 4 wheel drums, and such would make me nervous. Some people just dont have the correct reaction when it comes to a dangerous situation, and the bronco needs to be driven much different than a new vehicle.

My wife hates my bronco she won't ride in it yet, let alone drive it maybe a few more thousand dollars in parts and paint, but then a few more thousand dollars will make her hate it more....lol

It's all good it's mine and I love it

Although back when I was a single guy I had a new Chevy truck that was my baby, and I didn't let anyone drive it, especially girlfriends, because I figured if they damaged it would have been a deal breaker and and my wife was a keeper so I kept her away from my truck...

Mine drives all 3 of mine. I do admit I don't like it though as I'm afraid she's going to total it. Whether it be txting, talking or whatever. She's already crashed the family car for various reasons....rear camera didn't show that car.....rear sensor didn't go off so I hit the mail box. Of course it's always my fault:-[

Mine wont go near mine either. She hates it. Probably because she is jealous of the time i spend on it, and it rolled over two of our kids while they were playingin the drive way.

I put in fixed position seats so she wouldn't get tempted. She can't reach the pedals! Plus, the non-power brakes scare her.

I let her drive it whenever she wants. The more she likes driving it and riding in it, the more I get to do to it!!!

Here's a pic from the ACB Stampede a couple years ago. I had some surgery on my arm, so Jackie drove. This pic made it into 4Wheel Drive magazine.

I can't keep mine out of it! Whether to the store or she takes it to napa to go wine tasting. But I guess it's all good so she doesn't get pissed when I spend lots of money on it.

There is no mine and hers in our house. (except maybe my hunting gear) I run all the mods past her before starting. I wouldn't have been able to change from auto to the NV3550 if she wasn't able to drive a stick. We bought ours new and it was her main drive for the first five years. I even put on a set of those "old man" nerf bars to make it easier for her to get in. She loves to take it to the mall because it's so easy to park.
