Ridiculous bespoke Bronco. [View all]

I drove one of the old style Broncos while my uncle was out of the country. It was OK but not so wonderful I would spend $200k or more for a replica. I am thinking this is akin to the Hummer, a male oriented symbol of masculinity valued more for its high price than anything else. "Hey! Look at me! I can spend a quarter mil on an odd looking novelty item."
