Interesting - first photo I've seen with the stabalizer grapples extended. Very "Beyond Thunder Dome"

I still say that in a tornado, a 200 year old wooden barn would fare better than that.... thing. :bgwb:
Never trust a shadetree welder. I saw some of the welds on that thing when they showed a Discovery special about it. I almost fell out of my chair. :eek:
And just what the hell is that thing? Are you saying there is a Tornado under all that sheet metal?

Storm chaser - I saw it drive into a tornado on some special. Held up pretty well.
Hey Bart...
Check Discovery channel for "storm chasers"Quote:

Next time just ask I am sure some one here will help you with the big words.:p
Next time they should have Chip Fooise or Monster Garage make one.

lol, both vehicles weigh the same.
If I saw that chaser in my area I think I would start to worry.
They built it on a ford truck if I remember right.
I was addicted to that first season.
I also saw the tv special and they had to select a particular "size" tornado in that it couldn't be too big, strong, powerful, etc. as it was anticipated that a larger funnel (ie. f4, f5) would inflict too much damage.
