    Thumbs up Check this thing out!

    Wow, I want:

    I think it is called the VEPR COMMANDER. Some sort of "Russian Hummer". Looks a little like my VX, donchathink?











    Come on! Just look at those headlights! This has got to be VX inspired! I'll take 3, one in each shade of black.

    Yeah, I suppose I should have searched, but I was pretty thrilled with it. I've never seen one of these before. I don't care for the ugly bar in the front, but other than that, pretty radical. I think I read somewhere that it weighs several tons.

    I love those wheels! They look like they are self inflating. The ability to air down and then back up again would be awesome. I wonder if it has wheel balance issues.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Yeah it looks like a Vx and a 70's minivan"'s bastard child. Therefore its should never be spoken of again. That thing its fugly in a new and improved way. I would rather drive a scion "cardboard box on wheels" than that thing. I'm sorry its terrible but it had to be said.

    You can get your VX part way there by just adding some of those spiffy "buick fender ports", available in the plastic chrome aisle of your local autozone...

    I dunno guys. Aside from the stupid looking crap that is attached to the front end, I think it is pretty mean looking. Does it look better than the VX? HELL NO! But it is a pretty sick machine. The thing is, I can't tell if it is a military vehicle or what? I found another photo of the interior and there are like leather seats and stuff so now I am thinking it really is a Russian version of the excessive H2....

    It is built on a military platform. All running gear(engine, frame, and supension) are a heavy duty military vehicle with a "luxury" top half. The thing will go anywhere! I like it although I am not to big on the front tube work (but thats easily fixable with a sawzall) and the tail lights need a change.

    Yeah, I find it very similar in style to the VX. The tube work sucks and needs to go but the rest is pretty bitchin. Looks like a tank of a vehicle.
