    Why not M998s at GL auctions????

    I'd bet they can do better selling them in bulk to other countries. At the very least, it'd be easier to sell, say, 50 at a time than 50 to individual sellers. That said, I think that American bidders should have the right to bid for them, even if required to buy 50 at a time like other...

    Why not M998s at GL auctions????

Sorry, but my tax dollars paid for (or, rather, pay the interest on the national debt...

    Why not M998s at GL auctions????

    Re: RE: Re: RE: Why not M998s at GL auctions???? Really? Couldn't they just sell them "for off-road use only?" I mean, you can buy and title, say, a 4-wheeler, John Deere Gator, and a plethora of other vehicles, or hold the title to a race car that isn't close to street legal- you just can't...
