    Wanting to start a new HMMWV business. Need your help.

    If you are looking on making this a career just remember that these will dry up. How long will it be is anyone's guess. I see CUCVs, M35s, M101 and others dry up.

    Blown Turbo motors went for 3k oh my!

    I am sure there is shill bidding going on. I was bidding on an LMTV and every time I bid the bid would go to the amount I bid and say I wasn't high bidder. Thought that was strange... a mouth or so later I see the exact same truck go through the auction. Sad thing is they will keep on doing...
