HOMESTEAD Boys Don't NEED LAMBOs!

in homesteading •  6 years ago 

What is the deal with Lambos? Today was like every day, I get on my Steemit feed to see what there is to see. I don't know what it is about the crypto scene but Lambo's are always in my feed. Apparently when certain altcoins moon, these are the first things on the shopping list for most hodlers. I see them in my feed all the time. A "Lambo" isn't going to go far down my dirt road. Just driving that car down my road would total it.

First off, its spelled Lamborghini, not Lambo. Second, I can't imagine anyone spending that kind of money on a car. It's just a car. It gets you from point A to B. Simple. I can think of 2 dozen better ways off the top of my head to spend a fortune other than a car that cost 6 figures. Paying off my student loans would be the first one.


But lets just say that I did have an obscene amount of money to spend on a vehicle. What would it be?

THIS EATS YOUR LAMBO

This is called the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) and it was developed to replace the Humvee by Oshkosh Defense. It's an off grid homesteader's dream. And you can even mount a .50 cal. You might ask, why would I mount a Browning .50 cal on my car? One word answer. MERICA!

So there you go. Eat your heart out! Out in the woods, we do things a bit different.

I like your choice of vehicle! I would have to agree, who needs a car with a 6 figure price tag? Not me. My sons thought it might be cool if our next vehcle was a tank... 🤣

I drove a Bradley for part of my enlistment in the Infantry. Love it. Such power.

Is there a place for car seats in this? :)

I dig this . Tank it is man.

Sign me up! I even like the color.:)

I could not agree more. I do not want a sports car. I want a Hummer or a big diesel F550. You know practical vehicles;)

An Austin Maxi!

Great post, although I would not mind driving a 6 figure car for a bit, but not worth the money for sure to own one.

Maybe it’s time to do a clean sweep on your following list! Is there enough seats for a big family in that thing??

Once upon a time while stationed in germany I participated in a field training mission with an armored infantry unit. They had bradley fighting vehicles and it was amazing how good some of the drivers were. I saw one guy go down a hill at top speed and pull a Dukes of hazzard maneuver where he slide that thing sideways just before he hit the black top and once on the black sop the tracks took grip and he kept on moving. He never slowed down at all. Mud was flying out from behind that bradley like a speed boats rooster tail. Once on the black top the vehicle was already at top speed and just took off down the road like nothing.

Later I talked to the soldiers who were in the back of that vehicle. I asked if the ride was rough ......they all laughed and started showing me their bruises from past "joy" rides. Every one of them laughed it off like it was nothing. All agreed they have a great driver and he made the difference between being fast and alive than slow and dead. A few bruises was a meager payment for that.

Jesus.
I think im in love 😭😭

I just wanna join the US Marine and drive bad boys like this. Plus hoist some assault sniper rifles 😭😭😭😭😭😭

But im so nigerian 😭😭😭

haha nice vehicle! :D
I ride and old yamaha xt 500, it's like a tank on 2 wheels..^^
check out my new post (:

NOW YOUR TALKING!!!!!

Thats so funny.... I was just working next to Oshkosh defense and I was thinking ... hmmmm tactical baby clothes

Our car is just a car that is breaking a little every day, but it still drives a least right now!

I have a 1990 Range Rover for that, and it did NOT cost six figures! Other places for that to be spent! :)

Ahem.

May I introduce you to the Lamborghini LM002, originally designed for rich people living in sandy areas for transporting their armed forces quickly over dunes.
