Where Cali's debt comes from

[Kornman00]

From building army of THESE (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32991216/ns/today-today/displaymode/1247/?beginSlide=26):

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Slideshows/_production/ss-090923-guinness/ss-090923-guinness-22.ss_full.jpg

which they will use to attack and annex surrounding states as their own, to help pay off the billions of $$$ they have in debt.



Smallest all-terrain armored vehicle

Built by Howe and Howe Technologies and measuring less than 1 meter (3 feet, 3 inches) wide, the PAV1 Badger is the smallest all-terrain armored vehicle. It is powerful enough to break down doors but small enough to fit in a lift. It was commissioned by Civil Protection Services of California.

Oh, California! :allears:

[=sw=warlord]

The gov'inator is working on making little terminators, how cute.:allears:

[Kornman00]

Also, high-speed rail system (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33593383/ns/technology_and_science-innovation/?pg=7#Tech_ColossalProjects) ~10,000,000,000$ (bil, expanded to remind how much that really is)

[annihilation]

I'm really starting to hate my own state.

[Con]

That ATV doesn't look very stable :|

[TeeKup]

That is absolutely retarded.

[FreedomFighter7]

I lol'd. They can't be serious.

[Dwood]

I lol'd. They can't be serious.

It's California for pete's sake. What do you expect?

[Donut]

holy shit :lmao:

Thats actually a good thing though, good sir!

[sdavis117]

I could actually see it being a useful tool to protect important people in a combat zone, but I see no real use for it past that.

[paladin]

I heard those gay marches can get pretty ugly.

sorry tweeky ;)

[ICEE]

oh shit you figured it out... if it helps we were going to test them by invading poland before we dared attack another state

[legionaire45]

Clearly we aren't putting our money in the right place.

We need mechs.

Oh, and that super fast rail line. IMO, the $40 Billion Maglev line seems like a better long term investment. Either that, or spend the 40 Bill on something that goes across the country. With the current proposals (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6f/High_Speed_Rail_07-09-2009.JPG), it's still faster to hop on a plane for 6 hours then it is to take trains across the country, even with the few high speed rail systems that are being proposed.

[Dwood]

If it's cheaper than a plane ticket and under 8 hrs I'd take the high-speed rails.

[Kornman00]

Thats actually a good thing though, good sir!
I'd say it would be a would-be terrorists' next target :tinfoil:

not that good of a thing, good ma'am

[EX12693]

Ya know, even if my state is stupid enough to make an army of these... things, I want one.

[jngrow]

I don't think the high-speed rail system is happening anytime soon. But yeah, I hate my state government.

[Aerowyn]

What's the top speed on the mini-tank??? 20MPH, maybe?

[UnevenElefant5]

Do want a mini-tank like that.

[Cortexian]

Saw those awhile ago after seeing the Ripsaw MS1 in a magazine I read:
q8AW8lj-iH0

Also designed by Howe&Howe or w/e

[Dwood]

I want to know: What is the mileage on that thing? Must be like .02... And Cali's a green state? I think not.

[FreedomFighter7]

Freelancer what exactly is the point of that machine? Recon? It doesn't appear to have any fixings for anything. Mount guns or it maybe?

[EX12693]

It has a platform on top where you can mount guns. Freelancer, you read it in Popular Mechanics/Science?
