7. I only saw it once on the road.

The "image" I saw was a very slow-moving white elephant, sucking tax dollars and blocking traffic. I was glad when the road widened and I could zip around it. It was doing 20 in a 35 zone. I think if such a vehicle were necessary for a police action, I'd call in the National Guard.

A ridiculous toy.

(In my day, "mine-resistant" meant taking the steel pot off your head and sitting on it. )
