Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

There's An Electric Ford Bronco. But You Can't Have It.
China is set to get an EREV and EV version of the Ford Bronco. Unfortunately, American buyers likely won't see this car, as it's built in China.
