  1. Do You Suffer from Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon?

    So this thread (https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/bronco-stuck-up.13340/) got me thinking about something I've experienced in a lot of different realms, but mostly in cars. Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon (or Frequency Illusion) refers to the cognitive bias where an individual notices...
  2. Hell Hath Frozen Over…

    It “only” took 150 days to get to this point. How many days did y’all have to wait? John, the build date of your vehicle has been scheduled Order ID: J273 Your VIN: 3FMCR9DA7SREXXXXX Exciting times ahead! The production of your 2025 Broncosport Badlands™ vehicle is slated to begin during...
  3. The One That Got Away

    We've all got one. A car/truck/bike that for reasons of timing, price, other obligations, etc., we just missed out on. I'm not talking about a Veyron here, just that one that was almost in reach, but didn't happen and you still think of wistfully to this day. In my case, it was a '61 MGA I came...
  4. So What Did You Learn to Drive In?

    This is from the days when you had Driver's Ed (classroom, mandatory for everyone) and Driver's Training (on the road, needed your parents to sign off). And California didn't suck. In my case, it was in 1971 in a '71 Ford Galaxie 500 Police Interceptor provided to the school by the same local...

    OK, it’s not Bronco Sport news, but I figured folks here might be interested. Ford has announced the introduction of a Ranger Super Duty in Australia, with a 10,000 lb tow capacity, 3.0 liter diesel, and three cab styles, along with cab/chassis availability. No pricing as yet, but figure...
  6. The "Two Bronco Problem"

    A (seemingly) simple thought experiment: You've ordered a Bronco Sport, and the day arrives for you to go to the dealer and take delivery. On arrival, you see parked next to yours, an identical brand new Bronco Sport; same trim, color, options, everything. You have to check the VIN to see...
  7. Ah, Construction Season in Phoenix

    Our unusually mild Winter has caused a rare mega-bloom of roadworks. Our version of Fall foliage, I suppose.
  8. OB/BL black roof: Who hates ‘em?

    The only thing that bugs me about the Outer Banks and Badlands trims is that we’re forced into the black roof. I think it’s a misstep on Ford’s part, particularly in the desert Southwest. More than just making it harder to keep things cool in our (ever longer) summers, it’s a dirt magnet...
