Is this thing cool or what...

Looks like a blast to have around

I want one!

You could be the first one to have one.
Just open the old check book up. Lol

The things I could do with that thing..........

That's very cool.

65000 would buy a lot of cool stuff.

Well, can't say that the presentation was very informative or impressive. Quite a few vehicles out there that can go to water and back to dirt. Did like the independent wheel brakes, that was nice. Wonder what it's ability in rough/sloped terrain would be? Seems to have an incredibly short wheel base. Don't get me wrong, could be fun, but I don't think there will be one in my building anytime soon.

Awesome..

I could see FD up north needing those for the inevitable idiots that have to get the one last day if ice fishing in as the ice is breaking up.....

Very neat - but here's proof again that the Russkies borrow a lot of concepts and designs from other vehicles. Here's the TV1000 Rhino, developed by the Brits in the late 1950s as a concept MV. See any resemblance? Like perhaps a Gama Goat with the after-section removed?

If that's what it costs, people pay that for a new pickup, then take it mudding . I'd rather buy 25 MVs on GP for that $65,000!

My Goat can do all that. Not nearly as fast in the water but could still handle it. Fortunately it's never going to see any place with ice on the water though.

Yup... that jumped out as a concern for me. Still, it'd be a fun toy to play around with on flat ground.

Nice post!
