This bamboo Jeep totally bamboozled us. Ok, now that the lame intro sentence is out of the way, this bamboo Jeep was made in the Philippines and was actually used for personal use by the creator. It is now used as a pimped out ride for pimped out government officials who visit the province. In other news, it now seems ...
