That thing was on Discovery channel last week.

It won the title of the largest self propelled vehicle on the planet. It was quite impressive to watch this thing in action.

Let some of the DTR types loose on it and they will bomb it. In no time somebody will have it going from 0-7 mph in 37 seconds. And of course while picking up 347 Chevs and Fords at the same time.

Well, it'd probably take that thing about 15 seconds to dig the hole, so if they charge by hour you're in luck!
