Something tells me that after spending a half a million dollars on a military vehicle, nobody cares about either the cost or the environmental impact of the gas mileage.

If the Marauder can take care of cars parked by idiots like that, who cares how far it goes on a gallon of fuel?

@ KDP

Who takes care of the idiots who park that monster?

Does anyone remember the movie "Damnation Alley"? I loved their camper!

The gang at Top Gear UK did a special on one of these a couple of years ago where they had it 'out in the bush'. Impressive chunk of steel.

I started to re-watch my link "Damnation Alley'. It is badly out of sync for the voices and action. Just skip to the 22 minute point to see my dream camper.

In the forestry service we had these tracked fire fighting vehicle. Very cool, run over trees and stuff to cut fire line. Then we started to take on these abandon cabins. Made you think you were some sort of Panzer Commander, great destructive power in driving this machine, knocking down buildings by driving through them. Then one got stuck in a bomb shelter under a cabin floor. Not cool anymore.

Looks similar to a Cougar 6x6 MRAP used by the Marines.

I know all about parking and Hummers.

Women can be taught to drive ... I don't know if they can be taught to park. Size doesn't matter for them parking or "Hummering" us men.
