For the ultimate in intimidating transportation.....

[Emos]

Do you have around $60,000 burning a hole in your bank account? Well head on over to Cold War Remarketers and drive off the lot with a W.W.II era M-18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer! Or get behind the wheel of the mother of all SUVs....the Mercedes Benz Unimog

Ahhh....the perfect vehicles to allow your road rage to vent

 

[Ashpool]

Hmmm...what's the fuel economy on a sucker like that?

 

[mAdD INDIAN]

The M-B Unimog only produces 80bhp!! Damn its underpowered!

Although it probably has over 200lb/ft of torque.

I got to laugh about that. Reminds me of that nut in Cali who stole a tank from the National Guard and went for a joyride....crushing cars, trying to knock down overpasses, etc.......

The M-18 was one of the fastest (if not the fastest) tracked vehicles of World War II. In fact it could probably keep up with a modern battle group. Imagine having that sucker on a commute.

Windogg,

Get the tank and park it on top of her car and say oops! Was that important?

The Unimogs do not produce much horspower, but they have gears up the wazzu. Plus plenty of tork.

 

[urbantechie]

<< Plus plenty of tork. >>



Whats tork?

Did you mean Torque?

 

[focusyn]

dang only 80 bhp???? i think i can fart with more power than that...

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

Nice yakko.

That'd be fun to drive down the highway. Imagine the sound system you could put in that thing (and not piss off the other commuters because of the bass).

Though I suppose the fact that you're driving a tank would be enough to piss most people off if not simply scare them.

my oh my the damage i can do with that *evil laugh* muwahahahahahaha *evil laugh*

 

[Windogg]

Yea, I wonder if the 76mm cannon can be made functional on that bad boy.

If you look further down, they say there is also a M-36 available. The Jackson has a even bigger 90mm cannon.

You can't expect me to spell at this time of night I need to sleep I am just too tired to get up and go to bed.

Windogg, I noticed that you appear to know quite a bit about W.W.II weapons. In your opinion, what was the best tank of WWII (out of these three)?
1. Tiger (Germany)
2. M4 Sherman (USA)
3. T-34 (USSR)

Even though the Tigers and Shermans are the best known, the Russian T-34s were able to hold their own against Panthers and Tigers, whereas the Shermans usually had to fight a high casualty war of attrition to take out the German heavies.
Early model Shermans were nicknamed &quot;Zippos&quot; and &quot;Tommycookers&quot; for good reason
