Re: What have you driven for you country??
 

Well, I have commanded the following vehicles but they usually do not let me drive them. I have had M1's, M1A1s, M1A1 Heavies, M113s, M1114, M1025, throw in the following ones I have rode in, HEMMT, HETT, 5 tons, LMTV, FMTV, the invincable duece and a half (last two I had were made by Kiaser in 1956) . Throw in the Blackhawks, Apaches, C130, C141, C5 (with my tank in the belly of it and wing tips flexing 10 feet), C17 and a few others. I guess being a Military guy has it benefits driving the fun toys but unfortunately I have spent most of my time in these vehicles in the sand boxes.
I bet lots of guys would pay to ride in a 70 ton M1 at 60 MPH shooting and hitting targets 3 miles away with a sabot traveling at speed I can not tell you.

Links of stuff I've actually driven.....been on lots of other stuff.




A Gamma Goat will go anywhere and was friggen bullet proof for wheel'n.
If I'm not mistaken it's a gas inline 3 cylinder. The back wheels on the trailer steer and is either shiftable to low/high 2X6 & 6X6, or 4X6 and 6X6. I've completely ran over a 30' standing tree about 10" thick and barely dented the fender on this thing. It can swim as a side note.
