What is your primary means of motorized locomotion?

Which brought me full circle to the purpose of this thread, because an Armoured Personnel Carrier really is the coolest form of transport.

The coolest form of transportation is obviously a monster truck driven by the Incredible Hulk.

No, that would be dangerous. I m not sure the hulk has a driving licence, and I would be worried about his short temper behind the wheel. I m also pretty sure the insurance rate would be huge. Which insurance contractor would give you a good rate if you came in with the hulk, a picture of the monster truck and you claimed that the hulk will be the main driver?
I also think that a monster truck isn t eco friendly and way too expensive to refill the gas tank.
Spare wheels are also very expensive.
Bottom line your choice of everyday transport sounds like a bad idea.

Like a freakin segway!!! Or a tricycle. And I m not kidding with that last one, we use tricycles in europe a lot since 2007

What happened in 2007? Did everyone lose their balance?

Also, "a freakin segway" is covered under "other."

I don't accept "other" as a valid option in a poll.
The tricycle was invented in 2007.

I wonder if it would be legal to drive one of those tanks in the road here..

I found a picture of Betiko tricycling and jaunting around Paris:

What a spiffy young chap he looks

[betiko]

No, one with 2 wheels in the front!

saxi, how's a bicycle motorized?

I MEANT MECHANIZED

Tss, learn English por favor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanized_infantry

Mechanized infantry are infantry equipped with armored personnel carriers (APCs) or infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) for transport and combat (see also mechanized force).

Mechanized infantry is distinguished from motorized infantry in that its vehicles provide a degree of protection from hostile fire, as opposed to "soft-skinned" wheeled vehicles (trucks or jeeps) for motorized infantry. Most APCs and IFVs are fully tracked, or are all-wheel drive vehicles (6×6 or 8×8), for mobility across rough ground. Some nations distinguish between mechanized and armored infantry, designating troops carried by APCs as mechanized and those in IFVs as armored.

I was not implying the distinction between the two doesn't make sense, something I think you are implying that I was implying, but I'm only guessing that that was what you are implying.

No, I wasn't implying what you thought I was implying.

It's just when someone says "mechanized", I think of mechanized infantry. I realize the world has many other uses, but that's the first thing that pops into my mind. I guess I'm a bit of a history buff, but when someone says "mechanized" I immediately think of the debates that raged in the British and German General Staffs at the beginning of WWII about the relative importance of mechanized versus merely motorized troops.

I was supposed to guess that? You ask to much of me, reading minds is not my speciality. I'd also like to claim that a personal aircraft is by far the coolest form of transportation, an APC just cannot compare, a submarine perhaps, okay a submarine actually beats a personal aircraft in coolness but barely.

This is now my primary source of transportation.

I like to have backup....truck, motorcycles, bicycle....firewood....lol

Well then you might appreciate the new over/underwater city that Chinese engineers just designed. Travel around your city by car, walkway, aircraft or submersible - the choice is yours!

I gotta admit, there is one form of transportation cooler than the APC.

The hydroplane was actually invented by my father's grandfather. Not kidding.

Why are we talking hydroplanes when we're checking out amphibious aircraft?? And the coolest one is the Albatross

Hey he was piloting it himself, if you look at pictures of his aircraft, he was a kamikaze to try such thing!

You could think of my sperm as drones, there might be potential people in it but nobody cares about their death.

You're just jealous because you don't have a famous ancestor, except Ricardo the Rapist, but he was more infamous really.

If you go to the marseilles airport, there is a replica of his aircraft with him on it on a 1 scale. Always thought it was pretty cool to have your great grandpa hanging on the ceiling forever!
By the way; he married a De Montgolfier, which is the family that invented the hot air baloon.

If you are asking if it spits up ambergis, no it does not. If it did, I am the rightful owner of all ambergis.
