What is the coolest thing you have ever driven?

[Tractors4u]

I was reading in the ATV forum about the MAX ATV's and got thinking I would like to drive one of those one day. Then I got thinking about different things I have driven. The top 2 would have to be:

1. Winston Cup Stockcar for 6 laps at Talladega last year. I did the Dale Jarrett driving adventure.
2. Russian T72 tank for a few miles at Redstone Arsenal about 4 years ago. I knew a guy that worked at the range that had a few T72's.

Jeepers, Junkman, you could have waited a while and let the rest of us get in a few licks before you posted the topper of them all... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

An 800 HP Trophy Truck in the Baja 1000 off road races at 160 mph on a drylake

My son built the Ford "Tough Built Trucks" for the Ford commercials a few years ago. He arranged a ride for me on one part of the race.

Quite a thrill for an old man!

Coolest I've ever driven were two horses pulling a sleigh at -35 farenheight.

Or maybe it was a 300 mile trip in a TR3 at -20 Farenheight.

You don't drive a 747, you fly one ... unless you consider your taxi down the runway driving. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

A B-17, part of the Collings Foundation travelling airshow. The FAA squelched it. They cannot allow you in the right seat anymore. Took a ride in their B-24, flew over Fenway during the a game, leaned out the port gunners opening & got some cool shots, blurry but, still cool. Also went to their place in Stow, MA, went up in their T-6, I told Rob Collings I wanted the maximum thrill ride, he provided.

The coolest thing I have ever driven was my Stock outboard hydroplane when I used to race. Nothing like 12 boats fighting for the first turn at 70 mph in an 11' boat. If you need to get your heart pumping -- I suggest taking up the sport.

Here is another shot from my Rookie season.
