Favorite truck

Ever since they shot the Richard Attenborough film "A Bridge Too Far" in my home town and a couple of those were parked out side our house this is the truck I dreamed of as a kid: M16 Half-Track

I agree they are cool, but I would think the fuel economy would rule out use as a commuter vehicle!

I imagine it has a huge towing capacity though!
