On the MONSTER TRUCK circuit there was a guy who took a M5 chassis, cut off the armor and turret added a 750hp blown engine, and a van body and went around crushing cars. Pretty neat!
The buggy with tracks is very cool too. Let some guys at the pentagon see that clip. Next thing you know the Army will introduce the Stryker Weasel - a go fast two man tracked vehicle armed with a variety of weapontry. Sort of like the "dune buggies" currently being used by Special Forces.

My wife and I were joking about turning a golf cart into a Stuart to scare the neighbors.
It's an idea though...
