It had full suspension nods and crazy setup. Looked like $100k vehicle. I guess you tube pays well

You know you're in Utah when the overlanders bring industrial quantities of fry sauce ingredients.

The Dobbertin Surface Orbiter is a hand built amphibious vehicle, constructed from a 1959 Heil milk tanker over a period of four and a half years (14,000 man-hours) by Rick Dobbertin of Syracuse, NY. The vehicle was designed to circumnavigate the Earth, over land and sea, without any type of support vessel and was well on its way when the lack of funding cut the adventure short. Even so, the Orbiter has logged in over 33,000 miles on land and over 3,000 miles in the open ocean, with seas up to eighteen feet high.
The Orbiter has been the focus of attention of educators in many countries. It sparks interest in science, math, technology and geography for students of all ages.
The Orbiter was the first amphibious transit of the Panama Canal (February 21-23 1995)
I remember that thing. Should be cross posted to the upstate thread for its pure fucking wackiness.
2 knots in open water. Yeeesh. Hope it’s nice inside.

If I remember correctly, they forgot to install air conditioning. With water tight windows, they roasted the fuck out of themselves trying to cross Iowa…
passed what might have been an early prototype on my ride a few weeks ago

That guy is winning…
If I win the mega million thing I want the surface orbiter, a delorean and the sculptured house in Genesee that was in Woody Allen’s ‘Sleeper.’ Maybe add in one of those citroens with the low rear wheel skirts. That’s livin. Though, I’d add ac to the orbiter. People will think I’m from the future.
ETA: it’s the CX Citroen.

Anti-GOTO in Belgrade, MT, to fight the trustafari in Bozeman.
I dug it a lot, sounded good. Attachment 425910
A serious lack of toppings on the Weinermobile. You'd think that if any vehicle had ketchup, mustard, relish, or something, it'd be this one.
Incidentally, if you're ever near Dearborn, Michigan, the Henry Ford museum of American innovation is well worth a visit. Not just cars, by a long way, those that's where I took this pic. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4d9f8946a5.jpg
Spotted just now at Silver fir. Lots of extra weight with all that extra stuff on there, no doubt. Attachment 425983
Probably not legit for this game because they were parked for display but these were pretty cool.

Does it come with missiles? I want missiles. A machine gun would be nice too.
that thing is actually really nicely appointed and laid out. Except for the cab... guess the budget ran out.
