LOL, are you the only person in the world without a half-dozen mismatched 10mm wrenches lying around the garage?

I just open my door and stick out my foot like all the young kids do on their BMX bikes. I just have to take left turns to get around.

I misread the first message. Thanks for clearing it up for me. I will put a 10mm in the glove box.

It's true! I'll shoot over a pic of my now pristine matched-tools garage when we're done driving the Bronco home.

​​​​​​Spoiler, we're 400 miles in and just noticed major problem #2. Wish I had my wrench!

#1 was an airbag light during prep before we picked up. Airbag was defective and backordered with no ETA. I had to spend 12 hours on the phone sweet talking Ford to get one after a week.

#2 is that we realized after we picked it up that we are stuck in two-wheel drive. The GOAT mode dial is dead. Picked up in Missouri to drive it back to Florida. Yesterday was the first 6 hours to Nashville through frozen rain, sleet, and twisty rollercoaster roads. The roadside was littered with sedans that lost it and just went off the road. It's my son's car. He's 16. Pretty good driver so far but he's only driven in Florida rain maybe 3 times. Somehow made it and we had a good time. I love the Bronco for what it is but the QC from Ford is pitiful.
