If it doesn't fit in your garage, I can store it for you free of charge as long as I can drive it on the weekends....

ABC news had a story on those the other night. Showed them putting one through the paces. Sure hope they protect our guys.
Only $1.5 million each. Who cares about the gas mileage?!

Looks to have less ground clearance than a pinz.

Uuuuuhhhhhh......... That's the "small light weight model"
This is the big-un -
These vehicles are classed as MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle. The large one is a "Buffalo". The "little" one is an Oshkosh M-ATV or MRAP Lite. The Army has been using a variety of similar vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan with mixed results. Any of them offers far more protection than a Humvee.

I'd rather have the Supacat Jackal... it'll sneek into a Chinook, then raises itself up in the open. Goes from 7" of ground clearance, up to over 19"

Of course!! as well as a trip to "la gran sabana", "los medanos de coro" and a trip from caracas to la guaira via "cerro avila", of course with a big cooler, ice and Polar, Brahma and Zulia beer.
What else can you ask?

Didn't really think about it when I was trying to put the pinz in the garage but it is shorter than my Jeep Liberty by about three inches. That includes the spare on the back and the winch bumper and winch.
Really surprised me.
