  1. If anyone else is looking into Broncos and knows all the shit that has gone wrong with their hard tops, these guys just teased their after-market hard top that is supposed to fix those issues and come out during 1Q of this year. It should also look better than Ford’s hard top (IMO) as it is a slant back rather than the 90 degree back end that Ford went with. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYSYl3fv-pE/?utm_medium=copy_link Sorry for the instagram link, that looks to be their marketing outside of forums and their website. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/adv-fiberglass-bronco-hardtop-teaser-part-1.32393/ I am totally nerding out on this shit now that I’ve jumped into the new Bronco. Gonna spend a small fortune on this truck but IDGAF.
  2. Picked her up yesterday from the dealership, dropped her off today to get her all gussied up and protected. Can’t wait to get it back.
  3. Yep, I’m excited about this truck like I haven’t been excited since high school. And back then my dad said “no” to all of the cool shit I wanted to do with my 89. I’ve got a bunch of cool shit planned to make this unique in the way I want. Gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
  4. Gonna be home soon…then straight to the detailer for a few days. Fuck. Yes. Merry Christmas to me.
  5. We also wouldn’t have left Cole in the bullpen
  6. Man. We finally watched the finale last night. Despite my snarky comment about the lawyers, I can’t get enough of this show. I fucking love it. I thought last nights episode was spectacular. I can’t believe I’m happy about something that lets that monster Logan “win”, but all I have to say to Tom is:
  7. Well then he has the worst fucking lawyers that billions can buy. That’s why I had to take the whole plot point with a grain of salt. The lawyers would be fucking all over that change of control right from the second they got the call from ATN about the deal.
  8. Also what happened to Silas? Dehydration, really? 🤔
  9. Looks like Wulaw got through to the front office and coaching staff this is dreadful 😂
  10. I would need to be paid $5 to take Quails
  11. Perhaps this is not the right thread for this, but the more I poke around the more I’m realizing that $20k for my Tahoe is really light on the trade-in offer from the dealer I’m getting my Bronco through. How would y’all go about finding a private buyer? I have various “offers” from KBB, Autortrader, Carvana, Texas Direct Auto and they are all appreciably higher than $20k. Autotrader puts the retail value just south of $30k. I’d like to find a private buyer - is my best bet to put a detailed online ad in Autotrader? Thanks in advance.
  12. Great to hear! I cannot wait.
  13. How are you liking it 2 months in, Cooter? Biggest complaints? Best things you like about it? Have you taken long highway trips with the soft top? I ask because I committed to buy a Sasquatch Outer Banks this week. Yes, paying over MSRP as I didn’t order one, but it is so perfect for what I want in a new rig that I jumped at it. I drove an ‘89 Bronco in high school that had the top off a lot. I’m getting $20k trade-in for my 2013 Tahoe with 83,000 miles. I couldn’t turn it down. I figure even paying over MSRP that I can do quite well if I decide I want out of it. It’s also in a color that was already discontinued for 22.
  14. Definitely not. Still no boarders at DV, right?
  15. Hell yes! We are going to Crested Butte for the first time this March. Any experts wanna give me the TLDR version of a family trip - 4 adults, 7 kids under 8 - at CB? We are flying to Gunnison direct which is huge. I’m tired of the Denver to I-70 corridor beating.
  16. I haven’t had a new car in a long time - not a big gearhead myself. But I’m getting the new Bronco in a few days and I’m really fucking excited. Total nostalgia buy having driven an 89 Bronco in high school but man it’s gonna be a fun ride.
  17. So many conversations last night where I had to cover my eyes it was so cringe-inducing. That conversation between Shiv and her mom was down on the list of knife-cutting conversations. And then Roman. What a dumbass. 😂
  18. “We’re working on that.”
  19. Also, at its core, Succession is a comedy (I think you have to think of it this way to truly enjoy it how Armstrong, McKay and Ferrell intend it to be). The cycle of the same shit that the kids go through to be loved by a monster who could not care less about them emotionally is part of the schtick and adds to the absurdity that is Succession. It’s the shitshow at the fuck factory.
  20. Agree that the big picture plot seems to plod and get a bit competitive (the backing of a fascist episode was a “nice” “break” from that) but the writing is so fucking good every episode that I could not care less. I fucking love this show.
  21. But a 15 year deal for Correa in no way makes that any more likely than not signing him, smartly allocating resources elsewhere and trying to extend the window with the core that is signed long-term. Or, in a best case scenario, somehow getting Correa back on a 6-7 year deal. There is zero doubt he’s running it like a business and not a fanboy, but (and thank you for clarifying you’re not saying he’s cheap) those decisions have paid off so far and I believe him when he says he’s in it to extend the window and be ultra-competitive as long ad he’s owner. Is he lucky that Altuve basically told Boras to get it done? Probably. But other than a couple of less-than-catastrophic mistakes that happen to all teams like the the Gomez trade (fuck, as I type this I’m realizing that was incredibly catastrophic, but not for baseball reasons) he hasn’t approved any decisions that have been really poor in hindsight. Making the wrong decision on a 10 or 15 year contract, when you don’t have the TV revenue of the Dodgers or Yankees, can cripple a team long-term.
  22. For an owner who has a team on a 5 year heater in the LCS, WS yada yada, you sure have a big stick up your ass about Jim Crane. Jesus, give it a rest. There is absolutely nothing he has done to earn a reputation of being a cheap - or anything less than savvy - owner. He knows what he’s doing.
  23. This will probably get this thread CR’d quicker than a knife fight in a phone booth, but let’s take a look at the only known direct insight into these parents in their own words, as far as I know: https://www.thedailybeast.com/ethan-crumbley-identified-as-oxford-high-school-michigan-mass-shooter?ref=home Read that article and you’ll come to no other conclusion that his parents knew exactly what might happen and they seemingly fucking encouraged it.
