The TIV II

Hey everybody, just thought I would show you a photo of what pulled into our shop yesterday morning;

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...5090823-00.jpg

This is the second version of the TIV (Tornado Intercept Vehicle) that the Storm Chaser's have built. They were here last year as well with the rest of the Discovery Channel's "Storm Chasers" crew working on both TIVs. My work (ATS Diesel Performance) is a major sponsor for the TIVs as we have put a lot of our products on the vehicle to help compensate for the weight.

I will have some more pictures posted up later tonight when I can get home and upload them.

Here are a few more pictures. They all pulled out this afternoon in a rush to hit a few storms building over the next couple of days.

No special license really. It is street legal and you pretty much just have to be smart when driving something like an urban tank haha.

It is mean as ever, just seeing it running down the oad in city traffic is funny because people slow way down and move out of your way rather quickly...or they all bust out their camera phones lol
