    You'd be surprised. A quad can do all of that and more.

    It's no wonder, his own generals attempted assasinating him. He just got into every one of theirs way. Not only were those Me-262s good for strafing. They did indeed down enemy aircraft in air to air combat. Had they been introduced earlier, the outcome of the war would more than likely have been different, despite Hitler's foolish gesture of formally declaring war on the sleeping giant just because Japan did. Notice how everybody learned from that. Since then, there hasn't been any more formal declarations of war. today, they're just called "Conflicts", "Interventions", "Missions" or what have you

    Well, of course...Opel was part-owned by GM! But it's funny GM didn't start building OHV 4-bangers until a lot later. Hitler and his evil regime may have been a bunch of bastards, but German engineering was still fairly wonderous and showed American engineers to be buffoonish in comparison.

    The following is an Opel copy first built in the Soviet Union and then built in Poland, under Soviet license. Pictured, is the wagon variety. Although, the proportions make it look more like a panel truck. Hard to believe, this is a 1963 model. 2nd image, the sedan version. 3rd image, the flathead four which makes me wonder if this Opel copy originated from an Opel which was older than the Kettenkrafträder, unless, of course, the engine is a copy of another captured vehicle's engine like maybe some Mopar or Jeep.
    The bottom image shows the 6 banger the 1939 Opels originally had:

    The Soviets were very adept at copying machinery...look at the Tupolev TU-4 bomber. It was copied from a Boeing B-29 Superfortress that they interned when the bombers landed in Soviet territory after bombing Japan.

    Here's an interesting dig-up on Soviet copying: http://forums.finalgear.com/general...history-of-the-copy-and-paste-industry-39156/

    The former Soviets are still into similar hanky panky. The following is a Porsching of an old Volga:

    Here's the Soviet copy identicle to that Polish Warszawa previously posted. I tried looking up a Warszawa on Polish e-bay and got a bite. When I tried navigating that site further and reached a dead end, I couldn't find that car again, when backtracking. The price was in Polish currency and I'll bet one can get them cheap. Any one of them built before 1967 can get imported without having to convert it over to federal standards. The frame and body would be wonderful raw material for a body and roof chop, modern underpinnings and a powerful V-8. The one at right is way too overdone, though. There's hardly anything left from its original charachter:

    I actually like the 1954 Ford. Reminds me of the one I customized. It sure didn't look that good.

    Just found this in the Street Scenes thread. Outdoes even Dennis Hopper's smoke-belching bully on 10 wheels.
    Dig that sinister smile and own eyeballs, on that possible portable crematorium kettle alias woodgas generator. I think, I'll get a nightmare for seeing this, tonight. Never forget: What has already been seen cannot get unseen.

    Can any of you military buffs identify the following tanks? These are unmarked and not painted in German colors:
