A Zero Forever

Dec 29, 2022

Spent some time over Christmas with family in Ford Country, aka Metro Detroit.

As with trips to this area in the past, I found another storage lot/field, this time just north of I-94 in Ypsilanti, MI, that appeared to hold hundreds of assembled Broncos. Also saw a caravan of completed Broncos heading down Michigan Ave. on their way from Michigan Assembly.

From the pictures, you can see Broncos lined up almost as far as the eye can see -- I noted hard tops, soft tops, 2-door and 4-doors, and several of the trim levels (couldn't confirm all of them).

This is the fourth lot like this that I have seen thus far -- not sure exactly what these Broncos are waiting for, or if they'll be shipping soon, but thought everyone would find it interesting.

OMG, I think I see mine sitting there! Sitting on my 3rd consecutive shipping delay from a build finished on November 23. So sick of this crap!

Well, I'd been pretty excited over the "Built" notification I got on December 26 - this let's some of the air out of my tires...

Was hoping that it would arrive here in the UP before New Year's, but I guess after 2 years I can wait a bit more. Just hope brake calipers, etc do not suffer from sitting out in the weather.

Yes, my Bronco sat there for 5 weeks after build before being shipped. I am glad to hear all have moved!
