I wouldn't complain!
Old Version, Early Version, either would be fine by me.
Especially if all I had to do was get it home.
i was at FT HOOD 3 days before that P.O.S. went on the shooting spree years back . I was so amazed at the mind numming amount of armor was in one place every road we drove out for miles on both sides was a sea of concrete and tan equipemnt ! I use to wonder if we had enough stuff and just between Hooks and Hood I sleep soundly !

I can imagine at a half mile a gallon - it would be like in the teenager years - take up a collection for gas from your pals without cars...

Lighting off a turbine, is better then drinking beer. I used to start and stop my 150 KW gen sets, until someone would come over and complain. I simply love that sound!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or nothing quite like a Detroit 2-53 running at high idle with a straight pipe.
They are inversely proportional, size to noise ratio.
The Freddy Mercury of Diesel noise, no?

Make sure that you have street tread.
They might get all excited if you were driving around on steel track.
Oh, and be sure to check the weight plates at the bridges!

But we can dream about having one.
Maybe just the ability to sit inside of a cute little tank...
It was pretty outstanding just having a very old M60 at Freedom Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hatches were welded shut and kids climbed all over it. There was a NCANG F86 Sabre Jet, a coal fired steam train (Gaineseville-Midland 301), an old steam engine, and two very old fire trucks - with hand cranks through the bumper.
Back when there was concrete to fall on - or rocks to fall on.
No fancy frills to break your fall!
