When a Jeep just won't cut it: The Ripsaw

Saw this thing on a science program the other day, thought you guys might appreciate it.

Ripsaw EV2 Luxury Tank, the fasted two-track vehicle ever made (they used a modified one in the latest MAD MAX movie):

I was able to watch a segment with the two VET brothers that invented this magnificent machine. Truly, ingenious!

I think it was in the 2nd GI Joe movie too.

They had a show on Discovery a few years ago, Howe & Howe Tech, but there were only a handful of episodes. The Ripsaw prototype was featured in at least one of them.

Howe and Howe was awesome, but it only lasted 2 seasons. Very smart and innovative twin brothers that engineered and built outrageous vehicles for our military, Police and First Responders. One of the Ripsaws was actually in the GI Joe: Retaliation movie. Roadblock (Duane "The Rock" Johnson) drove it! Check out their website:

Remember when it was on discov chan. They had interesting ideas but other than one off's for movies there aren't really any practical applications for their stuff.
