Being a Wheeled Mechanic, I've got to work on and drive some of the coolest vehicles the Army has to offer and also got to experience some of the other Service's equipment as well. Those of that are "gear heads" and enthusiast are always talking about the vehicles and their capabilitites.

 

Strictly from a comfort, stylish, fun factor stand point, what is your favorite vehicle to drive or be a passenger in? Don't only judge on how well they can take a hit or how much they break down.

 

I realize that some may have cooler experiences than others, ie Pilots and their planes, Navy and aircraft carriers, Astronaughts and thier space shuttles. That's all cool. Hell I would brag about that stuff too if I had the chance.

 

My favorite is the old M 35 2 1/2 ton truck. I loved the standard transmission and the fact that it could use virutally any kind of fuel.

Since I took so many flights in them, the C141. A great all-purpose cargo aircraft.

I loved the RG-31 Cougar / JERRV (Joint EOD Rapid Response Vehicle). It was durable, comfortable, and easy to drive.

During my first deployment to COB Speicher, Iraq, I was assigned an up-armored 5-ton truck.  It was great driving down the narrow roads and waiting until smaller vehicles got out of my way.  You definitely had to wear your helmet, because on bumpy roads you would frequently bonk your head on the armored ceiling!
