Odd note, at drill today noticed that our wrecker has the same turbo as my car.

I could buy a de-mil'd Humvee from where I work if I wanted to. Dod ships in some of the slightly older ones and we either strip em down or repair the equipment in them. If they're not worth fixing, we have a chance to buy 'em. Last I heard about $13,000 could get ya one in really good shape, only downside is the DOT will not let them be driven on the roads. :P
