| #10 It has twin 85-gallon fuel tanks with an operating range of about 500 miles. Good thing we're sending these buff puppies to where there's some big petroleum supplies. |

| #8 Seriously, both this vehicle and the Stryker have proven to be wonderful against terrorists and their nasty toys. Posted by DarthVader Darth: I believe Tatar's boyz call the Stryker the "Ghost" because it makes less noise than say the M-113 or Bradley. The Stryker bascially rolls up on the Jihadis and before they can say "Allah Akbar" they're on their way to the heavenly hothouse. |

| #7 Meaning if you want to use this puppy, you're just avoiding the reality that heavy armour is necessary. |

| #6 Lack of casualties is due to lack of numbers. Less armoured than a Bradley. Heavy, expensive, visible and slow. I'd like to peek at the cost. |

| #5 It has twin 85-gallon fuel tanks with an operating range of about 500 miles. 2.94 MPG. Has Al Gore got one yet for his entourage? Maybe Kerry can get mommy to buy him one to ride around The Island in? |

| #4 I like the looks of this baby. Would I rather be in this or a Humvee ? After 3 nanoseconds, I believe I would choose Cougar. Probably because it would take 3ns to get over the disbelief that they were asking you such a stoopid question! ;-) Where do they put the 500 gallon gas tank? |

| #1 CD skips. Damn cheap asian electronics. Use a MP3 player for goodness sake! Seriously, both this vehicle and the Stryker have proven to be wonderful against terrorists and their nasty toys. |
