You know you can buy used military humvees for less than 25k right?

Yep, been there, done that. And the weak half shafts, crappy transfer cases and weak pinion gears. Hmm, how many of those did we break a year.....

Where can you get a used humvee for under 25k?

Ultimate bug out truck? Nah... Here's the ultimate bug out truck!
The Marauder

Check out this Top Gear review of it. Fast forward to 2:15 when he starts driving it through brick walls.

Heres a text synopsis of the video from the Wikipedia article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marauder_(vehicle)

In June 2011, the civilian version of the Marauder was featured in British motoring program Top Gear with Richard Hammond.
The focus of the roadtest was to test the Marauder against its closest - and arguably only - rival, the discontinued Hummer H3; unlike the original H1, the Hummer H3 is a civilian model based on the Chevrolet Colorado, not to be confused with the original H1. Among the activities tested were ordering fast-food from a drive-through restaurant, driving off-road, through/over obstacles (solid brick walls and parked cars, respectively) and testing how well it could withstand an explosion (seven pounds of plastic explosives) directed at its underside.
Unlike the (civilian spec) Hummer, which was completely destroyed by the explosion, the Marauder was still operational and sustained only minor damage for the most part, Hammond easily managing to drive it away despite its dislodged/blown tire.

If you wait just a little longer, you can buy the whole company and build your own Hummers.

No chance, they'll get bailed out.

 

[BluePig]

Tell that to the workers who have been laid off for the past 4 weeks with no end in site.

There is an auto shop in my tiwn that's restoring a bunch of dodge power wagons, they look pretty nice.

That's awesome. I can think of a few things I'd change, but those would be amazing drivers.

I've heard those are great vehicles when they've been taken care of.
