    We feel for you Jay! Boy that was a tough one. Yep, by the 8 or 9th time we pretty much all got that "it's 90% based on the Colorado ZR2 and meant to carry 9 people in and out of the fight as quickly as possible". But Jay was really trying. Jay: "Hey! this thing's got manual shifting capabilities" Steve: "Yep, "it's 90% based on the Colorado ZR2 and meant to carry ....." Jay: 'Hey, the power steering is really sweet" Steve: "Yep, "it's 90% based on the Colorado ZR2 and meant to carry ...." Jay (Internal voice): Never Mind...

    Better still, the removes the 'predictability' that an enemy uses to defend against air-inserted forces, _that_ alone increases the survivability of air delivered assets...and mission success.

    You can tell Jay was sick of the same repeated sales pitch when he interrupts the guy mid sentence with "But will it do donuts?" 😅

    This guy has a real knack for answering simple, yes-or-no questions, with 9,387 words... which don't actually address the question asked.

    5:33 The question was about mileage requirements. Good grief.

      The lack of an answer is the answer - it burns a lot of fuel compared to civilian vehicles. But military vehicles always do.

      @@donjones4719 Why did everyone miss where he said 20 miles to the hallon? That's very GOOD for a military vehicle!

    Jay,
    Have you ever owned an MGB sport car? I had a 1972, it was always in the shop. Is there a good year for that car that is more dependable? I loved that car when it was running good.

    When can we get a James Bond special with all the Aston Martin cars? That would be awesome. Keep up the good work Jay and team.
