Well, semi-cheap at $19,999.95.
As one reviewer observes:

| Some people have sticker shock when they see the price of the Badonkadonk, but what did they expect? A tank for the price of a Kia? Come'on! Let's be reasonable! If you were considering a Hummer, you'd have to cough up around fifty grand. Or more. This bad boy is cheap at 19K and even my Hyundai cost more than that. This is a stone bargain, make no mistake. |
It can also serve as a land cruiser.

| The JL421 Badonkadonk is a completely unique, extremely rare land vehicle and battle tank. Designed with versatility in mind, the Donk can transport cargo or a crew of five internally or on the roof, and can be piloted from within the armored shell or from an exposed standing position through the hatch, thanks to special one-way steel mesh armor windows and a control stick that pivots up and down to allow piloting from the standing or seated positions. The interior is fully carpeted and cozy, with accent lighting and room for up to five people. A 400 watt premium sound system with PA is mounted to project sound both into the cabin and outward from behind the windows. The exterior is a steel shell with a rust patina, and features head and tail lights, turn signal lights, trim lighting, underbody lighting, fixed slats protecting the windows, and a unique industrial-strength rubberized flexible skirt that shields and protects the wheels to within an inch of the ground, while still allowing for enough flex to give clearance over bumpy and uneven terrain. Master power, ignition, all lighting, and stereo features are controlled from a single switchboard to the left of the driver, again accessible from either the seated or standing position. Standard drive is an air-cooled, 6hp Tecumseh gasoline (unleaded only) engine, with centrifugal clutch, giving the Donk a top speed of 40 mph. This vehicle is not licensed for use on public roads, and is intended as a recreational vehicle only. Badonkadonks are produced on an order-by-order basis, with each one having it's own unique set of features. With your order is included unlimited consultations with the designer and manufacturer concerning all relevant options (a representative from NAO will contact you shortly after your order). Price does not include shipping and handling. |
Needless to say, this is just the thing for combat driving in Korea. If the other fellow runs a red light, well, that's HIS problem. You can't do that with no submarine. As one reviewer observes, personal subs are so last year.

| First of all I must say that this tank was definitly a better buy then the personal submarine I got myself last year. Those things are so out of date now, and do you have any idea how much they cost? Where as this baby is a cheap buy at around 20k. My computer cost more than that. It's great for transporting pets in. I got the Spray 'n Wash interior package so after a couple of trips to vet's office I can hook up the hose and spray down the whole interior and it drains out this nifty filtration system. It filters the water so it's almost as clean as when it was sprayed in. It cost extra to get the dash waterproofed but was totally worth it. The only complaint I have is that it's impossible to stand and drive the damn thing if you are under 5'8". They could at least have thrown in a portable stool or something. The engine performs beautifully and I got the optional trailer hitch also so I can finally pull that submarine around with me when I go on trips. All in all, a great deal. If you are considering this tank I highly recommend it but I'd wait a few months because I heard from someone on the inside that they are going to start offering an upgraded version that converts into a submarine. I wish I'd known before I bought the two seperatly, oh well. |
Oh, and if those mad cow nazis get in your way, no problem!
Want one?

The only thing I can say is: what the hell?
I even said it out loud, followed by a chuckle. |
