    I need one. I don't want it, I need it.
    I'll paint it bright red, glossy red, real glossy.
    I need chrome rims too.
    Window tint, I have to have it.
    LED headlights, oh it already has those.
    Leather.
    Starry-night themed headliner, put one in.
    Give me a champagne cooler, but fill it with ice for my drinks.

    @Sloop_John_B: Yeah, but you'd have to stop every 60 miles for a refuel. And, I believe the M1A1 tops out at around 50mph, so not really competitive with the other buggies. The benefit, though, is that you'd be running by yourself in your own class, so you win no matter what!

    @elwood: If you take the turret and armor plating off, then it might get a bit speedier... Replace the ammunition storage space with a large fuel tank and it might even get a decent range.

    @aSoundofSleep hates work: Reduces Jalop time: Actually, fuel economy is very important to the military. A friend of mine works on heavy-duty hybrid drivetrains and one of their main contracts is with the military. For every gas sipper they have they have to haul less fuel. Less fuel = fewer supply convoys = fewer non-combat troops exposed to attack and also less money spent hauling it around. I think the military is one of the largest purchasers of fuel so improving the fleet economy also adds up to more money to spend on other stuff.

    @aSoundofSleep hates work: Reduces Jalop time: I've driven M113 "light" armored personal carriers (10 Tons): they use 1 litre of diesel per Km regardless of terrain, load, weather or any other variable. It makes it easy to figure out the range, though: pour in 25 litres and you're good for 25Km.

    @joshman: I was dropping off a handicapped person somewhere in downtown Baltimore City once, so I threw up their handicapped placard on the rearview mirror, so as to not have to pay the meter for the 6 minutes I was out of the car. Lo and behold, when I returned there was a gruff meter maid writing me a ticket for not paying the meter. After a 20 minute conversation I was finally let off the hook for doing something completely legal. Nazis.
