RE: [MV] H2: Not so fast... (+half track questions!)

I don't get it. It's not a Hummer, not a HMMWV, and not worth $50k. Just
flipping through the adds in the back of my Military Vehicles Magazine, I
can find many better ways to spend $50k. I could get myself two humvees, a
yard full of Jeeps, some armour, etc, etc.

One of my neighbors has one. I see it drive by every couple of days, and I
always cringe - Can't find the attraction of that hideous thing.

Real MV related question: I'm already looking at my next project! What's the
roller thing on the front of a half-track for? was it stock? What's the
difference between the M2, M3 and M16 models? And what's the street-legal
deals?

What did it say in the commercials, as tested 52K? Only the Yuppies have
money to spend like this.
