    So these are about $450,000 each. Not terrible for a vehicle that needs to behave like a Toyota pickup *and* resist a roadside bomb. It's a lot cheaper than a PROMBRON. #trucks

    Tg1: It's an Oshkosh.

    General: I need these soldiers transported safely and reliably over any terrain. Suggestions?
    OshKosh: How about a Big Damn Truck?
    General: That could work. Let's do that.

    Also, I think the starting name will be the "mattvee". What that mutates into is completely unpredictable.
    See examples:
    A-10 Thunderbolt II: Warthog
    B-52 Stratofortress: BUFF
    MV-22 Osprey: Whistling Shitcan of Death #trucks

    @chathamh: Well, there was no way to predict the Warthog thing, but the Whistling Shitcan of Death thing was foreseen long in advance.

    It will be interesting to see what nicknames this thing spawns, though. #trucks

    Cheese, Beer and Brats are the cornerstone to a Good Wisconsin Built Oshkosh truck.

    This was a nice windfall for the Fox Valley area, tons of jobs at Oshkosh and the associate plants that build parts for them. #trucks

    (gun) ring time?

    So what do we call this thing? The HMMV was nice as it could be tweaked into "humm-vee" or the more well known "Hummer." I'm afraid "Emrapatav" doesn't quite have the same sorta ring to it. #trucks

    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.
