Yep, wife heard me Hmm & Haw over the news, and lamenting of my old Bronco 2. So when she deployed, she took advantage of the overseas vehicle purchase program. Now we are in a lottery because their allocation is super limited. But it means at cost, no dealer mark up, and no delivery fee.
A white Bronco on a suburban neighborhood driveway at the end of a cul de sac, a lawn mower running off camera. A marked police cruiser slowly creeps through the cul de sac loop, officer inside gives the thousand yard stare to the Bronco, and keeps moving. A jovial female voice off camera calls...
