Talking Got my license!

Yesterday I took my exam and passed it very easily! So, of course, yesterday me(and my mom-didn't want me going alone) took the truck home from Wiconsin and now it sits in front of my house and I get to enjoy it finally! Now I just get to enjoy the 150 a month for insurance (and that's WITH the good student discount AND went through drivers ed discount) and all the gas money. Hopefully repairs won't be much. What do you guys average per month in repairs?

I agree - depends on how hard you drive it. Typically speaking, you'll spend more on gas than repairs

Budget items for repair would be air filters, oil filters, oil and grease if you are going to do it yourself to save some $$. Also keep an eye on those hoses, belt(s) 'cause you know what will happen if you run it hot


Nice looking bronco! Hope you enjoy many years of 4 wheeling

Dude, I wish that I only paid 150 a month in insurance, but that damn perdestrian jumped out infront of me and now I pay 303.12 for minimum coverage on an 84.

Nice Bronco! Sucks that some people don't pay enough attention! How fast was that thing going, cause it didn't do all that much damage compared to some side impacts I've seen. I'll be sure to look out for you. If you don't mind, could I get the plate #'s so I'm not honking at random maroon Broncos?
