I don't even want to know how many miles/gallon this thing gives I assume you cannot just drive this vehicle around - there are most likely ordinance on its use on public roads.

"better than a unimog"??

i'd take a mog over that ANY day.

although, one of those would look pretty cool pulling up to the grammy's and dumping all sorts of celebs out... kind of like that pepsi commercial.

The distinct lack of tires wouldn't make you the most popular person with the local highway department.

I'd roll that to the college and pay the parking pass for 5 hours for two parking spots.

Can you IMAGINE the looks?

People would be expecting WWIII

How I would love to drive through my quiet conservative (mostly) college campus with that thing, people would REALLY think it was an attack or something. I could put my college pride sticker on the side of it.


I will own a machine like that someday if its the last thing I do.....I just....have to. Yep.
