Do you hear that whooshing noise? It’s the sound of ten million pro-war, Bush-voting NASCAR dads simultaneously creaming in their pants over the Ultra AP, “a concept combat vehicle that combines new blast-deflection technology with the safety features of a [Ford F-350] truck and NASCAR engineering.” Yup, NASCAR and the war machine are hooking up, and although that particular marriage of interests, when experienced in the form of one of my good ol’ boy, confederate flag-flying neighbors, makes my skin crawl, it actually looks to be a promising combination in terms of developing a vehicle that will better protect the troops. I just hope a non-combat version of this thing doesn’t go on the market. I don’t think my blood pressure can handle dealing with Hummers and Ultra APs on the country roads around here.
