Happy Blend Day (To Me!)

BLEND DAY. It’s when the body meets the chassis, and a BRONCO is born. Hundreds of people have built thousands of parts, all for the manufacture of this incredibly capable off-road vehicle. It’s a remarkable achievement if you stop to think about it. Yet mine is just one of many. Is anyone here celebrating their Bronco’s birth this week?

* * * DISCLAIMER * * *

I hope people still waiting for their Broncos to get built have theirs scheduled for production soon! I whipped up this silly graphic as a lighthearted way of summarizing my own experience. I only wish getting a Bronco were as simple as pushing a button!

Chris here. I drive a 2-door Velocity Blue 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands with Sasquatch, Lux, a 2.7L V6, and an automatic transmission. It’s fun.

I have a friend that worked at the Folsom State Prison. He found the Johnny Cash exhibit at the Folsom Prison Museum interesting. But why would someone be incarcerated in a California prison for committing a murder in Nevada? Asking for a friend. :geek:

In Gibson, Indiana this morning, which is the wrong direction! Looking like it’s still riding CSX lines, so maybe it will turn west through St Louis and continue in my direction…. They might be avoiding the really bad weather in Montana, who knows???

Upon further review, “Gibson, Indiana” is a transfer rail yard at the south end of Lake Michigan, just outside of Chicago…

Getting the ducks lined up and prepping to head west!

Hubbys Space White 22 F-150 is the Razor Crest, and license plate says T1STHWY. My Bronco is Scotty (Hot Pepper Red so red shirt reference) and my plate says 2BDLYGO. We both embrace being geeks! On another note love seeing the progress your Broncos are making on their journey home!

*** STALKER ALERT ***

I found my RAIL CAR! It was available on rrpicturearchives.net. And yes, before anyone asks, I have too much time on my hands.

They often go past my office and I always wish there were windows so I can see the vehicles inside.

I looked for mine but only have my phone right now (powers out) so searching was a hassle… I’m guessing my car looks like yours!

LOL @ Chris. When I first started tracking mine, you swore there'd be no checking. Almost impossible task man.

Hope that sucker hurries up and gets here.

I am not the leader. I just like to go first.

That's AWESOME, @Bluestreak57! I minimize the significance of getting "baby pics," but I'll be the first to admit how much I'd like to get one. LOL
