I'm the third owner. The first was a man who had cancer and purchased her to take him across country to see the sights. When he died, a man bought it for his daughter who was in vet school. The Bronco took her back and forth from home to college (600+miles each way) for several years. The vet worked with me and when the tranny died in the Bronco, I purchased it. The hubby rebuilt the tranny, motor and I've driven her for 20 or more years. This year she is getting new drum brakes, new water pump, new ABS pump, and whatever else pops up. This Bronco made a grown man cry. I was transporting a driveshaft to be repaired when an older man approached me and started talking about the one he had. He teared up talking about camping trips with the wife and kids in his Bronco. He really started bawling when I showed him the original window sticker and the carefully written notes from her first owner. I learned that day to never underestimate the true value of a classic car-even the ones that are not popular.

I think it's a very nice car. I've never had one, though. Here in Russia they make something similar in size, but a little simpler, also a small all-wheel drive car, which is usually bought by fishermen or hunters.

And there's something else. A company that had been producing sand dump trucks for decades suddenly started producing these little cars.

By some strange law, or coincidence, the drivers of these little cars are always big guys. Wide men, two meters tall, with the dimensions of a Japanese sumo wrestler. How they fit in there - I don't know, but here's a strange observation - if the car is very small, then its driver will be the size of a bear or a gorilla, and if the car is big, then it is most likely driven by a petite girl.
I remember I had a boss in one department, he had previously served in the police, he was two meters tall and slightly over, and physically - well, like a special forces soldier. Well, he drove exactly this "snuffbox", although he earned quite a lot of money and could have bought an expensive and big car. But no, he bought this car and drove it, hitting his head on the ceiling.

Around here we have tiny men and big trucks.

I don't think these are eggs, these are potatoes )

I have potatoes for planting, but it's too early. The potatoes are all wrinkled and have sprouted "eyes", I don't know if they will survive until spring or dry out completely. I store them in a cool place. There was a thaw here in January, and apparently the potatoes decided that it was already spring and time to wake up. And now it's February and -25 C. I hope they will survive. I remember once planting potatoes with tails about 25 cm long, also very wrinkled - strangely enough, they still gave a pretty good harvest. I hope the current potatoes will survive until spring, when I can plant them. If not, I'll have to buy planting material for money.

I think it's just corrosion but it's pretty weird!
