    I’m into cars. They all have personalities and behaviours. I often see cars and think, “When it rolled out of the factory on its first day, did it ever imagine that one day it would be like this?”


    “What am I going to be when I grow up?”

    “You’re going to ferry an old business man off his estate twice a month, then be sold to an Uber Black driver that won’t look after you so you’ll blow blue smoke and eventually be sold to a scrap yard for parts.”

    “Oh… 😔”


    “And what about me? What will I be?”

    “You’re going to have three 122mm rocket launchers strapped to you and you’ll help liberate a nation.”

    “…😲”

      “You’ll be bought by a texan plumber to use as a business vehicle, only to be later sold and somehow end up in the middle east helping isis with Mark’s Plumbing still written on the side and a heavy machine gun mounted to the rear”

      I have to disagree with you man. I’ve transported so many bodies in the back of a BMW coupe and i can’t begin to stress how wrong you are. Any serial killers considering a mercedes just stop. A BMW coupe can fit 2 unalived persons with absolute ease.

      A golf cart with an expended LAW tube, welded to the back, and used to launch as many motars as it can before one blows inside and kills it’s operator, is a technical.

      Any motorized civilian vehicle augmented to kill shit in war is a technical. Except maybe VBIED’s, that I’m not sure about.

      Which means that’s the question you should be asking: was a technical used in Oklahoma City bombing?

        The only place the OK City bombing was considered a war was inside Timothy McVeigh’s diseased mind, so I would contest that his rental van was not a technical, but mostly on a technicality.

          Since when do both parties have to agree there at war, for it to be a war?

          McVeigh and his fellow militiamen, or conspirators, felt they were at war with US government.

          I’m sure there’s countless people living throughout the Horn of Africa, who feel they are at war with the US government, while the US government would deny that wholeheartedly.

          Does that mean any of their pickup trucks with M2 Browning’s mounted in the bed, are not actually technicals?

    Typical BMW driver: Forget flashing their headlights to move people out of the way on the highway—now they’ve got a 122mm rocket launcher for that

    So far the comfiest option of shoot n scoot I have seen. And the fuel efficiency is also only slightly worse than the big MLRSes.
