Would you purchase your own duece-and-a-half?

Would you purchase your own duece-and-a-half? If so, how would you use it? It looks fun. I know an NCO who just paid $6000 for so he "can have a toy." His neighborhood association won't let him park it in his driveway or in front of his or anyone else's yard.

Yes, I thought about it...there was one for sale in our town...it was listed at $8,000. Turns out the zombie apocalypse is still a few years away, so I decided it could wait.

Even if I could find a place for it, my wife would likely tell me no.

It would be cool to have one but not practical.

CH (MAJ) William Beaver, maybe not a 2 1/2, but I wouldnt mind owning a HMMWV or maybe an old jeep. There is a guy in a town over from mine that has a 2 1/2, and he takes it to a local park and lets kids and grownups check it out.

CH (MAJ) William Beaver I would not buy one of them. But you could give me one and I would keep it.

Maybe if I owned a few hundred acres and needed something to do some heavy duty landscaping and of course the zombie apocalypse which starts Sunday if you are a walking dead fan.

They are a great platform for building a "go anywhere" RV CH (MAJ) William Beaver . If I bought one, I would leave it as is, and just set up a tent in the bed rather than actually building anything, but it would be an excellent conversation starter.

I'd rather have a miclic, or a D9. I'd get way more use out of those.
