A 1965 Ford Ranchero Custom Pickup hammered away from $200,000 for Charity at the 2012 Barrett-Jackson OC

What do you think? 
As a car guy, several times a year, I always seem to find myself sitting down in front of my HDTV and watching SPEED Channel's live coverage of the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auctions. I don't know what exactly it is, but I just enjoy the sights and sounds of watching collector cars and modern cars cross the auction block and see what they get hammered away for. I also enjoy the Fantasy bids on SPEED as well. But I just wish I could win an Apple iPad off of one of these.

Anyway, earlier tonight on SPEED's Barrett-Jackson coverage, a sweet, bright yellow custom 1965 Ford Ranchero that featured a Ford SVO 351cid V8 Windsor engine with 385hp and even two big bears in the bed hammered away for $200,000 which will benefit the Loma Linda University Children's Hospital. That's cool and so is the Ranchero.
