Default Another abandoned truck

This one appears to be a military vehicle. I'm thinking they should go get it and stop spending our money on new stuff!




If you go to large size, you will notice top speed on the speedometer is 60!


Heck of a grill on this thing

I love finding cool stuff like this to photograph but you wonder why they leave it and dont come and get it, so its not adding to the already bad pollution problems.
But these are great shots.

There are a couple dozen guys on a mil vehicle site that I visit that would be there in a NY minute if they saw that pic! Mind if I post it there? And are they available for picking or are they on private property?

Sure you can post a link for them if you like. I think they are on private property, it was an abandoned mine site just out of Black Hawk Colorado

Nice shots. I think you are right. A little duct tape and wire could fix that right up good as new!

Great captures once again Deb, It makes you wonder how long they have been rotting away, but they do make for great photographs. You found some nice angles for the shots too. Nice work Deb.

Dave.
