Bronco Nation Update - 30 July 21

One week closer to Woodward ... y'all, I'm not going to stop posting this until you're ALL signed up. Kidding. It's too far for some of you. But I do want to see each and every person on here from the Detroit area, Toledo, etc. at the Bronco Nation tent in Ford's Bronco Corral on Friday and Saturday. We're making it easy to secure trailer parking (free for members), a PRIME spot for your Bronco, a cheap way to caffeinate and hydrate (also free), and get discounts on hotels. The faster you sign up, the sooner I can stop using my teacher's voice and we can move on to other topics ;) Seriously though, we'd love to see you there. Bronco Nation's tent at events has become the perfect place to rest up, hang with friends new and old, and meet cool key people from the community, like at Super Cel East, when Jon Melton interviewed Bronco brand manager Esteban Plaza-Jennings. Ford's giving registered attendees a gift, so use that link!

This week in the news:

• 2021 Ford Bronco Door Removal | Updated Best Practices. You're going to scratch your Bronco eventually. Don't make it happen in the garage, though.
• WARN Elite Series Front Bumper with Grille Guard Tube. Don't get the Grille Guard Tube without the camera relocation package.
• Car And Driver | This 2021 Ford Bronco First Edition Is Listed on eBay for $150,000. @Collin says: Unsurprisingly, 2021 Broncos are already starting to appear on the resale market. The price tag on this one, however, might be shocking to most. Do you think it’s a reasonable price for a First Edition Bronco? (All of us, including him, say: No)
• Ford Authority | 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Rear View Camera Adds Washer On Two Trims. Until recently, only Bronco Sport owners who chose the Badlands trim level received a rear view camera washer. The purpose of the washer is to keep your rear camera lens clear of snow or mud. Ford reportedly wants this feature to be standard on other trims as well. If your Bronco Sport was, or is going to be, produced after May 10th, 2021, it may have the washer standard depending on the trim.
• BadxBronco Takes on Texas in a 2021 Outer Banks Bronco. What happens when a Bronco Nation member (@benpeacock) who is a skilled photographer and family man grabs a Bronco and meets up with a brother-in-law who is also a photographer? A continual roll of Instagram stories and posts surrounding what it's like to take home a loaner unit and drive it around Dallas. Fun? Yes. Proof is in the happy kids, a wife unwilling to stop driving it, and some seriously cool shots.

Hot threads:

• This email got me good... by @wxman92. We've all been there, waiting for a communication, and having our heart leap at every notification ... only to be bummed. You all here are pretty go-with-the-flow on the marketing emails, even still. One day, we will all have scheduled, produced, and delivered Broncos. Today just isn't that.
• What are you driving while you wait? by @Alith7
• Death of ICE Vehicles by @Soupcook
• What is the fascination with 4 door trucks and SUVs? by @paul rondelli

Have a great weekend, and we'll be seeing THOUSANDS of you on Woodward Ave in less than a month ... right?? Take care, everyone :)
