No real point to this, just thougt I would share.
Had to be at work at 6 and for some weird reason I was in my garage at 4:30 ready to leave (about 30 min early)
Decided to drive the Bronco 1 last time before the wrench fest this weekend.
Unloaded all the crap that was sitting in the back, hooked up the battery, tightened down the bikini top and drove away happy
Stopped at the petro station and since I succesfully removed my aux tank cap that had no key, I decided to fill both tanks.
Rear, check.
Front, .5 gallon, 1 gallon, 2 gallons
then the soothing sounds of flowing fluid....
OH crap thats gas running on the ground.
panic! look under truck and the feed line is disconnected and running all over the ground.
quick pinch of vise grips and good again.
got to work and all the other Maintenance guys were oooing and ahing over it...all kinds of questions about it.
what year ,engine etc
actual work was delayed by about 15 minutes because of my new truck.
after the manager showed up
(him and I dont always see eye to eye)
he asked if it was mine(guess he knows I am a Bronco guy??) and started asking questions.
Asked how much I wanted for it, If I wanted to trade for his low mileage land rover LR2... Ummm no.
then when it was time to head to my other building, I leave and am getting ready to start it and my manager and supervisor come walking out towards me.
They start checking it out further, ask me to pop the hood and ask more questions.
I left 15 minutes later after they were done checking it out.
Good PR I say.
Forgot just how cool these dang Broncos are.
