I just got a call from some guy who says
he's got some high-tech military vehicle
for sale sounds like something he should
be selling to the Pentagon good I'm
gonna go check it out maybe I can get it
first whoa what in the world is this
Batman's taint it's a prototype hybrid
intended for the military awesome
so where exactly did you get it the
company that built military components
they spent over a million dollars
building it and I couldn't pass it up
all right well it is pretty badass I can
tell you that had a gun on top that's a
camera that holds a gun it held a 50
caliber or an m16 set up like a fighter
pilot got a navigator and a gunner
they're all behind bulletproof glass
obviously someone did spend a lot of
money on it military contractors spent
millions developing prototypes like this
and if the Pentagon actually orders
these things the payoff could be
astronomical so I can get in absolutely
don't hurt yourself now yeah this is not
exactly fat guy friendly I don't think
they wanted people to get out of it
actually it's not too bad yeah take
actually if you were in military shape
now have you driven it I haven't driven
it they didn't give me the way to start
it you know what this would be a lot of
brain damage trying to figure out how to
get going especially when there's no
manual right come on Rick you've got the
biggest head of the shop you could
figure it out wait so how much you
looking to get out of it I'm asking 150
I don't know whether to tell you you're
crazy or maybe there's a lot of
doomsdayers and bunker nuts and you know
somebody is gonna want this do but if I
call up somebody I don't know who you
could possibly know that would know
anything about it I know a guy who deals
a little bit military vehicles he might
be able to help me out with this okay
yeah I got a great idea as soon as I
figure out a way to get out of here I'm
gonna give him a call
my hope the guy knows what he's talking
about there are a lot of expensive
components that are not gonna be able to
be seen just by crawling around the
vehicle this is the apparatus will is a
former Army Ranger and Air Force
pararescueman even though I hate to
admit it he knows a lot more about water
and military equipment like this than I
do so I'm actually familiar with this
and it's very cool I mean obviously
there were some guys that put some real
time and effort into engineering into
this so you could put a small team of
guys in and move them very quickly on
the battlefield faster you couldn't a
tank or something like that I spent 15
years in the military Special Operations
is what I do some people think you have
to be a little crazy to be a special ops
I prefer to think of it is gifted not
creative
so this legal throne yeah I know guys
that own Hellcat tanks that actually
shoot so I mean there's no reason why
you can't own this now whether or not a
street-legal is is another question
let's got headlights and blinkers and
should all work but right it should
should so how come the military never
bought these with this particular
vehicle I mean I see a lot of
complicated mechanical parts and wires
running everywhere it doesn't look like
it's gonna hold up to an iud blast why
would you go with a vehicle like this
that tactically just looks unmanageable
getting your product picked up by the
government it's a hard hard process to
go through you can spend a lot of money
developing it and if you fail you just
wasted all your time and money
so can you figure out a price on this
thing the engine alone is probably worth
anywhere from seven to thirteen thousand
dollars the body itself it looks cool
but what are you gonna do with it I
would say maybe twenty-five thirty
thousand dollars tops really you really
think that low huh collectors want
vehicles were actually used by
militaries around the world because this
is a prototype the fact that it doesn't
work could become an issue I can't see a
whole lot of people going after this
thing thanks man I appreciate it no
worries
thanks on millions of dollars went into
the development of that vehicle but
millions of dollars also went into the
development of tourniquets in a
tourniquet cost $35
so you still 150 grand for it the
high-dollar parts that are in this thing
we're still just over a hundred grand we
don't know if anything works are you
interested in it at all
I mean for like 20 grand to get this
thing running is anywhere between 50
bucks and 500,000 grand on the table man
ninety five thousand was kind of what I
got to be out we're just way too far
apart okay okay if you change your mind
give me a call all right
I've got a couple of other offers if the
next stopper is the right offer then
I'll let it go
you
