Pics and low low prices of military vehicles at the link.
Well, starting tomorrow you can purchase a real military-issued Humvee retired from the battlefield and declared as surplus by the Pentagon.
This is the first time that the former troop or cargo carriers will be offered to the general public but for off-road use only.
Up to 4,000 of these gas-guzzling military vehicles will be put on the auction block for bidding through the website GovPlanet.com, which was created by IronPlanet, an online marketplace for buying and selling used equipment and trucks. The company reached a deal with the Pentagon in July.
Bids for the demilitarized Humvees will start at $10,000.
