good memory. that was the kid's car when he first got the phone call. Then he stole a security car and then a d-bag lawyer's Porshe.

I've always been a big fan of the firstgen Broncos.

 

[envirotex]

^^^We had one. It was/is possibly my favorite vehicle that we ever owned...I may have mentioned this before on this board, but Mr. Tex came home one day and said "Guess what, honey? I sold the Bronco and bought and MG..."

Anyway, we took it everywhere and usually had the top off of it from February until October. It had outdoor Bose speakers bolted to the floorboards under the backseat. Very easy to work on, mostly because it's high off the ground...

Some day, when our other two project cars are done, I'm going to get another one.

I think anyone who owned a Bronco regrets selling it at some point and plans on purchasing another...

 

[mudpuppy]

I don't regret selling my Bronco. . . one more year of rust and I think the whole thing would have fallen apart. . .several parts had already fallen off due to rust. Plus it got about 9 mpg.

Just off the top of my head: the oil pan, a mirror, the running boards, several brake lines, the muffler, all of the heat shielding. . . etc.

Still driving my '95 OJ Special, the Blanco Bronco arty-smiley-048:

if my commute was more than the 7 miles I have now I might reconsider, but I just love winding thru the gears and every snowstorm is my b*tch

 

[Supe]

do you now have a particular set of skills?

I'm not sure, but I will find you, and I will kill you.

Some day, when our other two project cars are done, I'm going to get another one.

Sad thing is they've gotten REALLY pricey.

Saw Lincoln last night - finally made it here (they must have shipped it by sea). Good movie, required full attention, though.

No explanation of where the Logs came from, either.

I saw Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer on the airplane recently. It was pretty good!

 

[Road Guy]

We watched 127 hours last night.. The movie about the guy who cuts his arm off while stuck in the canyon...

Really inspiring story but I think they really did a horrible job with he movie.. Maybe I was just expecting too see more post rescue stories.....

And that's why I bought a good knife though!

finally got a round to seeing Ted last night. I thought it was pretty funny.

 

[Supe]

Planning on watching Ted this weekend. My friends with similar tastes have had completely polarized reviews on it.

 

[snickerd3]

we got Ted for christmas. I haven't seen it, but mr snick watched it the other day. he said it was funny in a 13yr old male humor sort of way. its something that will get put in the back of shelf.

 

[MA_PE]

yep. despite the cute little bear it's not for kids. If you like Family Guy, you'll like Ted. (Seth MacFarlane is the voice of both (Peter Griffin and Ted)

FWIW, my wife who is not a big fan of FG seemed to enjoy watching Ted.

 

[mudpuppy]

I watched Ted on a plane the other day.I love family guy and Ted didn't disappoint. It was pretty much exactly what I expected.

 

[Road Guy]

Ted was a refreshing comedy, good to have something new come out of the drones in Hollywood..

 

[pbrme]

Watched "Butter" last night. I'd give it a 3.5/5 but for one scene... One word: OHmyOliviaWildeGod.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Saw Hit and Run this weekend. pretty good turn your brain off entertainment.

Best line:

Dude #1: [Referring to Yul's car] I bet this thing's got nitrous. This got nitrous?
Yul Perrkins a.k.a. Charles Bronson: No. Nitrous is for fags. It's got cubic inches.

 

[Supe]

Did end up watching Ted, wasn't impressed. Same amount of humor as an episode of Family Guy, just stretched over 2 hours instead of 30 minutes.
