To my knowledge the first in SC. We started last summer and have worked on it off and on but last week we set a deadline to get it 95% done by Friday and here it is , The car was given to me because it was crashed nothing wrong with it other than a busted windshield and deployed airbags but it was not worth getting it legal again so.

NIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!

390 degree turret?  ;)
How well does it handle off roading?

Pretty sweet looking though! 

freaking awesome, hope to see this at a game soon

You should bring it to White Noise II. An APC will help in the urban areas

So it can traverse 30 degrees into the 5th dimension? Sweet.

Well, I guess this means we are going to have to come up with standard vehicle rules as well now...

Nice work BTW, it turned out well IMO.

I was thinking about the tank rules from fluda gap but i don't know how easy it will be to transport but we will see

Looks like you guys did a great job on it

Looks like a good addition to OP White Noise II.

best looking freshcourt wagon i have seen in awhile....hope the ac and radio works!
heck its SOUTH carolina, you should be able to put a tag on it and drive it there!
call it a parade float

In the state of SC, if you classify it as a Rec vehicle (4 wheelers, dirtbikes, etc.) All you need is break lights, headlights, and the ability to signal a turn, which can be done with an arm. That is what I was told 3 weeks ago by Richland County, someone want to verify?

I think that is just for title and taxes, that probably doesn't make it street legal. In any case, even if it were, I highly doubt it would do well driving on an Interstate.

How are you going to keep it from overheating?

^Good point.

We are in the process of developing AOSCs standard vehicle, heavy weapons, pyro, and special weapons rules.

Our first test showed a small amount of heat increase but i hope after changing all the fluids it will not heat as bad. But we decided we would run it X amount of time and open the hood to cool it for X times but it was not a issue at the field trails
