That plan got changed when a few test launches in the parking lot resulted in unexpected and extended wheelies at the touch of the throttle.

In the lower half it's an Oshkosh M1075, an all-terrain 10-wheeler truck more usually deployed by the US Army. On top however it's a Jeep Wrangler, while overall power comes from a 15.2-litre Caterpillar diesel, good for 600 hp. It's a cool 10.8 meters long (35 feet) and 3.2 meters (10 feet) high.

Ever wonder what the "6" in Motel 6 stands for? When the chain opened in 1962 that was the daily rate: $6 per night.
