They have fiber bodies (Kevlar?) and look like an Empi type VW dune buggy with non-airplane lug-treaded tires and a 50 cal. BMG mounted on the passenger side. They were National Guard rigs and the 50 had a belt of what looked to be live ammo........at least it wasn't painted black like many dummy rounds. I sure looked like trouble for some smart-alec kid......maybe the bolt was blocked from cocking or something(I hope). Dave Mead
