Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit

Is it armored?
Of course, it's a 4x4!
I would like to have an APC tho. Would love to have a BMP1 or 2. Checked into buying a non issued Cheq. Rebulic BMP2. It had never been put into service and was same as new. It still had the paper coverings on the periscopes. $250,000 (delivered to an importer in MD) with a lot of extras. 9-11 put the breaks on the deal. They made the Feds list of banned imported military equipment. Which meant no more imports.
Now they have to be demilled more than in the past. Part of which is cutting. They have to remove X amount of hull and who wants a tank or APC with large holes cut into 2/3 of it?
What little BMP1s that are in the US now are either not for sale or in very bad condition and not worth fooling with.
Spent 6 years on a tank. I personally would not want to own one. Very expensive to operate, maintain and move a 60 ton tank.

I'd be curious to know if anyone has an APC too.

In very good condition. Drives perfectly. Original 105mm gun without the breech block. Fully demilitarized being sold.

Gots a three hunnert gallon tank that collects water offin the shed for Chicken and critter water. Works goot too!

All I want is a Jagdpather to use as a grocery-getter. I hardly see that as too much to ask, really.[:D][:p]

You could get a lot of groceries with that. Probably for free.

That's a bargain at 250 K.
Never owned a tank, but did get to drive one once for a short distance. Testing the clutch and doing some wrenching on a WW1 tank. I would not want to be in one of them for any extended period of time. The yellow one is mine.
I have a friend that has a Sherman and a M10 Tank Destroyer, we belong to the same military vehicle club.
Very cool!
