I'm not sure what's more fun, this (IMO) well-done art car based on an old Camaro, or the sniveling "you know, that won't work as an armored car because..." replies about it on Fark. All together now... NERDS!!!
I remember some turn-based RPG back in the day that had us armoring up cars like that for a death race. Looks like the Russians heard about the game but decided to make it real. Kind of like those wierd vampire-gamers running around student unions everywhere tossing dice and being generally emo-ghei.

I see it as more cyberpunk or "Road Warrior" than redneck.

And I smile a bit when I see that uppermost machine gun is in fact a German MG34 from WWII!
