LOL, ooooohhh trust me.. I really didn't want to.
You asked...so here's the story.
It was my dad's in what I called his "mid-life crisis car". He had it for about 6 months. He is 6'3" with bad knees so getting in and out of it was hard for him. He liked to buy cars and somehow we ended up with 7 cars in a 4 person family. We started selling some of them off. The GT was on the market for 8 months without a bite. Jokingly I said, "Hey, lets put my Bronco up for sale and see what we can get." He agreed.
Now, my friend always loved my Bronco. He had an old '90 Civic hatchback which was falling apart. I was walking out to my truck on the driveway to put the For Sale signs on before taking it down to the corner. His mom drove up to drop something off to my mom and said, "Hey. You selling your Bronco?". I said, "Yea". She said, "I'll take it". It was that easy.
I was a senior in high school and I had bought the Bronco with my own money. My dad made me a deal in that I'd give him the money I got from my truck and he'd give me the GT as an early grad gift.
Fast forward to my first semester in college. No job, $2500 a year in insurance, had 86k on it and needed repairs (not breaking down, just normal high mileage stuff but foreign sports car = not cheap to fix), and needed 93 octane.
I had to do the smart thing and get rid of it. Plus, while I had it in High School in Pensacola, FL I was the pimp. Everyone noticed it. In college I though I'd be cool until I got there and was parking next to brand new BMW's and Mercedes. Got the S-10 which ended up being the biggest mistake of my life so far. Chevy....never again.
Anyhoo, look just above this thread and you'll see a box with a big blinking "SEARCH" in read. Click that. Don't feel bad. I missed it to at first too
