Help me to justify this!

[Otto]

I found one of these for sale locally for $10,000....





I have no idea why, but I want this SO badly. I have no idea what I would do with it. I do have somewhere I could keep it. I need some creative ideas of things I could actually do with a monstrous military wrecker truck!
It has a Cummins 855 (14 Litre) naturally aspirated diesel, does about 60mph tops, and gets 4-5mpg.

FYI the scrap value for the steel is $6000, so potential loss is not TOO bad if things go completely wrong!!

[Balmoral Green]

That needs no justification whatsoever, get it bought!

[*Al*]

Looks awesome! Could it run on veggie oil, now that would make it fun!

[Bish]

Buy it now! I have been eyeing up a Re0o M35 Whistler for a while but it might be a little tight in town!

[defblade]

There is no justification.

The only thing that stops me getting something like that is where the hell to put it... and you've got that sorted.

Just do it!

If a mate breaks down in the mountains I suppose you could go and help...

Apart from that... Ah'm oot.

If ever there were riots everywhere, and it was every man for himself in order to survive (post apocalyptic style.. Like in the films), you would have a perfect vehicle for driving through things. Alternatively, buy a tank. Enough justification?

Hire it out to Kids Parties, Stag Doos' and the like.

Better than those poxy pink limo things.

Have you got a pic of it parked next to a normal car so we can get an idea of the scale?

$6000 dollars for the steel, how is that, you only get 50 quid for a car shell, ok that is a lot lot heavier and in dollars but $6000 still sounds a lot, how much does it weigh ?

[spaximus]

just tell yourself that when the aliens come, due anytime now the UN want an ambasador, you will be able to drive over all the cars queing to run for the hills.

[Otto]

I'll get a picture with my Jeep next to it for you guys. It's big. Very big.

Not sure how the $6000 figure came about, but that was info from the guy selling it. I'd certainly be checking that with the scrap metal place in town! It weighs 17 tons FYI

[impmo]

You only live once...don't regret not buying it!

Front wheel arch is about shoulder height for an 'average' bloke.

[Adz The Rat]

That looks great fun, get it bought!

You should get one Warren, you'll be popular when it snows.

[carreauchompeur]

I think the question you need to ask yourself is "How do I justify NOT buying this awesome vehicle'.

[twazzock]

Just buy it, you pussy.

[Starfighter]

MUCH larger lumps and better grades of steel will be worth more than the usual paper thin lace work on most cars.
