This just goes to show how huge the Oshkosh M-ATV really is, and that sucker is the HMMWV replacement.

I'm disappointed there were no lesbians in tires this year
@∞Gïmmï∞Mørgäikkøŋëŋ∞: Haha, thanks
@∞Gïmmï∞Mørgäikkøŋëŋ∞: I just did, thanks for the suggestion. I'm still newish around here and I haven't quite figured everything out yet.
@∞Gïmmï∞Mørgäikkøŋëŋ∞: Yeah it just dawned on me that I had seen something like what you had posted at my grandfathers house so I had to look into it. The museum contacted him to see if he had made any arrangements for the car in his will and once he settled on donating it to them there was no changing his mind. I…
Whenever I hear Audi R8 I still automatically jump to their old LMP1 car. I should probably be used to this by now though.
@∞Gïmmï∞Mørgäikkøŋëŋ∞: Nope it's a not a replica and I guess desk piece would be more accurate than true hood ornament. It was given to my great grandfather by Rolls-Royce in the late 90's to honor him as the longest original owner of a Rolls-Royce which he bought new in 1928 and kept until he died in 2005. The…
The R. Lalique Rolls-Royce Winged Spirit of Ecstasy, it is a work of art and it really embodied what Rolls-Royce stood for at the time. Only 200 of them were ever made and they were given out by Rolls-Royce to special clients. In the late 1990's my Great Grandfather was fortunate enough to be chosen to receive one…

@Spiegel Nielsen: In the immortal words of Jeremy Clarkson, "Cheese eating surrender monkeys"
Leave it to the new money Russians to pervert one of the most iconic and well respected automobile emblems of all time.
Did I really just enjoy that?
@crd22: Yeah those were the good years, to bad they are coming to an end.
@bzr: They are nice to look at but that's about it. The new cars go completely against what Lotus was built on and that was Colin Chapman's philosophy of "added lightness"
This has pretty much killed my long running lust for a Lotus. Good job Lotus PR.
Damn when I saw this I thought it was going to be about a cheap track day. But alas no such luck.
I hope that Collin Chapman climbs up out of his grave and kicks Dany Bahar squarely in his testicles.
AMG slapped a limited slip diff into a normal cupcake and now you too can "over steer your cupcake"
@Adam Spano: I 100 percent agree with you on that. Yeah ALMS has had some pretty spectacular races this year. The ending of this years Petit was awesome, talk about a close race.
