With the current condition of roads around here it'd more likely be the driver who gets injured driving something like that.
 You'd bounce and hit the ceiling!It would be nice in the snow though.

Stepping on the porch after dark the last month, Detroit sounds like a hyper active military test range. Ra, ta, ta ta, ta, tat, bawoomb, crump, boom, pop, pop, pop, pop, blam, blam, occasional ground shocks, screaming sirens, etc, etc... All night long...

A friend of mine works for a deference contractor who designs sensors for those beasts. They have some 6 wheel versions as test vehicles. I was allowed to ride in one once and the sound of the 2 stroke Detroit diesel motor was something else.
We also may or may not have done doughnuts in the back field of our shop..... Its a good thing we have an understanding landlord! -J
