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.

My first is the A-10. As a prior maintainer on this beautiful beast I loved watching it fly. And the concept.. you take a BFG and then build a aircraft around it. What red blooded American doesn't love that! As a structures guy, the A-10 was a very basic plane to work on. almost everything could be fixed, patched or spliced back together. Loved it.
Now since I never flew in a A-10, and can't give an accurate depiction of her performance as a means of travel. My next choice is the C-17.
The C-17 flies like a dream. I have taken a few trips in them across the pond and back and honestly it is just a pleasure to fly in. Smooth and level she can go through the worst of air and make it feel like a Cadillac on a smooth road. Always enjoyed the trips even though I was asleep part of the time by the lull of her engines.
