@bluecoupe: I definately spend too much time watching the Military Channel

The new Marine Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle:

Rad....I like the [lack of] rear suspension but I'd throw practicality out the window...er bucket to drive this.

Okay, so it's an articulated vehicle... how does it turn with that huge armor plate seemingly welded in place right in the middle?

nomination for ultimate survival vehicle "great white north" edition!

@YankBoffin: [www.dobbertinhydrocar.com] I'd have to agree, it's huge & amphibious!

The people I see using scooters to get around definately wouldn't fit inside this thing...what, I'm just saying.

Now I'm getting all sentimental, ah childhood memories...If I only knew then (about structures and physics) what I know now, I might have enacted something similar to Hampster's jet-car induced coma (on a minature scale of course with a lego man acting the part).

I built one using balsa wood, a tin can, and the axles & wheels of a capsela (sp) set. I made a ladder frame that was about a foot long with small wheels up front and big ones in back. First attempt at launching it sent the rocket engine to the moon & my car didn't budge....shoulda spent a little more time mounting…

Here in Fort Collins there's this guy ... almost as good as the original!

I saw this awhile back, here's his website: [www.joeharmondesign.com]

everything. And we need the R8 V12 TDI!

@bluecoupe: wait nix that, the general lee

Though not 100% American, I'd have to agree with many who have said Eagle Talon. I know mine was "assembled" in the States. Please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Diamond Star Motors registered as an American corportaion? You get AWD and a 4g63 plus guys have been rallying these for years.

I always thought these things were cool, first time I saw one I was just a kid, it was in my grandma's neighborhood DOTS. Then last week here in Fort Collins I passed one on a flatbed, got all giddy and pointed it out to my wife...she didn't care. These things look just as cool now as they did when I was a kid.

Definately a K-car, perhaps a Dodge dynasty.

This is different than the last generation? Makes you wonder if the evo is the only car they pour resources into & everything else is just an afterthought....a really really boring afterthought. zzzzzzzzzzz

What, were they sitting around one day and throwing out ideas on how to best waste 150 Large?

@Stoatmaster: Ah, this explains it all! They're on Colfax Ave. in Denver

"and teach the youth of colorado...." Don't they have laws preventing wingnuts like this getting within 500 feet of a school? If not I'm gonna call my state representative...
