...good perspective...LOL.... Of course, hauling around a tracked piece of armor has it's own rewards. Just like a gun show....set-up and take-down are the worst parts. Sweating,cussing and having to get your body in difficult positions (...over 60,guys...) makes it difficult. But the wide-eyed...

...tank like...? Only things I can equate like that is an M113-114 or the Brit Fv432 series of vehicles....or maybe a Russian BMP...? Get the pic's posted....LOL

...all well and good... After your first 'sticker-shock' while looking at the classified ads here,take a stroll thru the GL sales....always a good lesson,as proposed. Most duces have gone up a bit lately...but guys are selling some because of the economy also. Being at the right place and right...

...always worth the effort... Nice to have fellow MV members for back-up. It's always best to contact the DRMO people and see if they can work with you...most will,some can't and few are just not willing to help. Can always call a local tow/wrecker service to haul and store rolling stock...
