I'd imagine the AH-64 pic was unauthorized. If the Army knew there was someone riding on the OUTSIDE of the helicopter there would be pants down spankings for all involved.

I bought my 71 XR7 hardtop for $500, granted, its not a vert, but a removable top doesn't make this a near $15k car.
Personal favorites are the 69 and 70 Cougar Eliminators, but any Cyclone, Marauder, or Comet Caliente would do in a pinch.
@Brian: Cogito Ergo ZOOM!: Nah, I did eight years then decided to settle down and do the family thing.
@SigmundTheSeaMonster: Wait until you see it's replacement;)
@Brian: Cogito Ergo ZOOM!: I have a pair of those at home, and they are very comfortable as boots go, and durable too. Despite a year in Iraq and countless miles of patroling, they don't look too different from the day I got them. Even though I was infantry, my favorite mode of transport is the CH53 Super Stallion.…
Taking another page out of the "old GM" playbook. Design a car everyone raves about, then don't deliver it for nearly half a decade. Bravo Toyota.
@oddfish: I don't know about the Raptor, but I do know Jeep Wranglers constantly nickle and dime you with small repairs. But, on the flip side of the coin, I don't know any Jeep owners that don't take them off road, which is the root cause of the nickle and diming. As an urban assault vehicle I'd wager you'd get tired…
I have two. First, the Chevy Beretta. It was the holy grail for lower middle class kids when I was in high school, and odly enough, I don't think I've seen one since high school 12 years ago. Did they all Spontaneously combust? Second is the Nissan Pulsar NX. My dads girlfriend in the mid 90's had one, and at the time…
I'd have to say the the second generation NSX. They kept the previous versions power levels (which weren't that special by the time tha naughts rolled around) and took away the pop up headlights, and still expected people to pay north of 80k for it. The original NSX was a giant killer, but unfortunately for the second…
@AustinMiniMan: Not just a pet peeve of yours, I actually have a good African American friend who was born and raised in Sierra Leone, and became a naturalized citizen through service in the Marine Corps. Nothing sets him off faster than hearing someone black refer to themselves as African American. Africans don't…
The largest thing would be either a Case combine on the family farm or a Oshkosh 902 pea harvester. Heaviest would probably be a M113 APC. I do work at a gold mine where are largest trucks are Caterpillar 793 Haul trucks, but nobody here is foolish enough to give me operational command of a 73 liter, quad turboed, 16…
One of my all time favorites for about 7 to 10k less than I usually see them for. Sign me up.
It wouldn't hurt to hand that out in drivers ed classes here. Driving in Vegas can be infuriating.
I'd hit it at that price, it's a late gen S4 that looks like its been taken care of and it comes with the proper wheels as well.
When I have a son he better be that cool.
For me it was a 2002 Chevy Cavilier I rented. The motor sounded like a garbage disposal, the interior could have been made by Play Skool, and the performance would have been sub par twenty years prior. I never heard the transmission shift through more than 3 gears, I don't know if that shitbox only had a 3 speed auto…
@Fodder650: I remember listening to that when it first came out riding in the passenger seat of my grandmothers then new first gen Escort EXP. Talk about a blast from the past.
A Kona Blue 2011 Mustang V6 Premium. As a graduation gift for high school my grandparents bought her a 1975 Mustang Mach 1 that my dad 2 years later killed. Since my mom is very nearly an empty nester I'd get her something she'd have fun with. I don't know how she'd do with the 400+hp GT or I'd get her that. But I…
My corner of Nevada would let it on the road, and if I had 35k to spend on it I just might.
