My friend, the government was certainly using COTS IT equipment for it's infrastructure when I retired several years ago. One of contractors supplied us with refurbished routers that spent some time in China. Some of these routers were in classified systems. One of my last activities was replacing the ones in the classified areas. You cannot make this stuff up

Not a lot scares me.
THAT scares me

I'm sure that list will shrink as potential buyers drop off with various reasons. like lost my job or cannot afford one or whatever. I'm on the wait list for a new full size Bronco. The new Vette is a tremendous buy, even the high performance one for 82 g's.

An old co-worker of mine ordered a mid-engine Corvette well before covid. The last time I spoke with him, he still didn't have it. I will insist that he take me for a ride one day.

The new Broncos look great in photos. I look forward to seeing them in person. I may have to have one after they have been out for a couple of years. Not sure I would classify them as full size.

I’m not sure you hear anything at an Apple annual meeting other than cheers and a cash register!

Never heard that saying.

I like the saying - “I know she hung the moon, I’m the one who held the ladder”.

It’s an old Toby Keith saying!

There is no PS6. Only PS5 now.

Time to get back to the old days. Made in USA, lasts 30 years so we dont have to rebuy. Ill pay for that.

There's two different Bronco platforms. The Bronco and the Bronco Sport. The Sport is a smaller SUV.

The Bronco 2 is the small one. The yet to be released Bronco is the same size as the original one but with a more modern drivetrain and engine choices. The 2 is a tad larger than a Honda CRV, not something I'm interested in at all. Don't much care for the powertrain choices but it's the way it is.

I thought they were calling the new smaller one the Sport, not II, like the old days.

Ford Bronco vs. Bronco Sport: What's the Difference?

Is the Baby Bronco a chip off the block or a pretender to the name? Comparing the two Broncos so that you know what to look for when you start shopping.

Could be, I'm not interested in it at all. The automakers love to use the word 'Sport' as a delineator anyway.

If I was going that route (which I'm not), I'd buy something like a Subaru Forrester or a CRV, not a pint sized Ford. I like the looks of the full sized Bronco and has to be a 4 door as well.

Not happy with the powertrain choices however.

I ordered my wife a new F150 Platinum power boost in Feb, dealer has no idea when he will get it.

 

[5030]

Maybe sometime in 2022.

 

[Jstpssng]

Maybe sometime in 2022.

That depends on if he wants it with a chip... or delivered on a lowbed to use as a lawn ornament.

Well, in that case I would have gone with the RAM....

I am with you on the power train. I would much prefer a nonturbo v8. Although my wife has an Expedition with an Eco Boost which to date has been excellent.

I still do not consider any of the Broncos to be full size. The Expedition is full size. The Bronco sport is a station wagon with the word Bronco on the grill. A true disgrace to the Bronco heritage.

A friend and I cruise through the local Ford lot every Monday after dining at Fazoli's, and have seen seven or eight new Broncos so far. Most were the Sport version, but this week there was a different model, A Big Bend I think.
I looked at the sticker price on one of the Sports, it was $48K.
I guess suckers will buy almost anything regardless of the price.

 

[34Willys]

Most Suckers won't buy the Bronco for $48K, they'll finance it and pay about $90K.

Big Ford truck transmission recall. Watch you don’t get whiplash!

Ford recalls 1.5 million F-150 pickups for transmission 'whiplash' issues

The automaker also issued two smaller, yet still important recalls at the same time.

Is that the correct link? That recall is over 2 years old.

The Bronco sport is just the Ford Escape with a different body. Everything else is exactly the same. I just ordered a new Superduty (2022 as 2021 orders closed awhile back) and was told not to expect delivery before October.
