Modified T.I.V.

TIV = Tornado Intercept Vehical

Anyway, saw it on a discovery channel show and thought it was awesome, so I made a heavily modified version. It is mostly a transport, with a little room for drivers. Not really like the TIV, but thats where I got the inspiration.

You know, there's a new series of storm chasers out on Discovery channel, and they made a new TIV. Only this one is black and cooler looking. Unfortunately, the axles on it keep breaking down because it is too heavy.

And here we are!
I hate to do all these links but otherwise they are HUGE so I just did this.
As I said before, heavily modified, the real TIV was just my orginal inspiration.

And yeah, stormchasers was the show, did you see the one were the tire fell off?

*Fixed*

Yeah. Wasn't that the one were the amateurs in the van got right next to the tornado, while the expert team with the TIV was sitting a couple miles off, fixing the axle?

Could be a little less blocky. And not cool as it may seem.
