Because.....i think we need something we can name a "Sparks".
And it shouldn't already have a name. Because to give a name to a vehicle that already has one would just be wrong, right?
Soooo.....any ideas?
Can *you* find a suitable Sparkmobile?
- Jinx
Can anybody think of any armoured vehicles - preferably American - that had a reputation for catching fire or blowing up really easily? *Other* than the Sherman, i mean. Experimental and prototype vehicles are acceptable, and actually preferable for this exercise.
Because.....i think we need something we can name a "Sparks".
Which is why it should ignite or blow up rapidly and without warning.....just like our dear Mister Sparks.
It should also have a reputation for unreliability.....just like our dear Mister Sparks' "facts".

Cripes! You'd think he'd want a bike with at least a suspension fork!
- JG300-AscoutI DO awfully hope you're being quoted out of context...or maybe just robbed, whatever. I feel it is my solemn duty to bring this sordid matter to your attention, pronto. In any case, here is some lamentable reading:
"Feedback! Read what the many thousands of Soldiers who call the M113 the "Gavin" have to say about making it "official"!
Roy A Lingle writes in:
"General Gavin was a very good leader and should have something named after him. I did some time on M113(Mo-gaser) and the M113A1. I spent a year with the 4th (Light/Airborne)/68th Armor, 82nd Airborne Division. That division didn't want anything to do with us treadheads."

BTW, there is a place to vote on the petition to field 10,000 vehicles right now and name them you-know-what. Also, you can make comments, but don't be astonished if what you say and mean gets posted as something else....
Gotta' go...feeling upchucky alluva' sudden....
- Roy_A_LingleHi JG300-Ascout! Hi Folks!
"I did in fact write those words up on that <snip> site of Mike Sparks!
I can only claim that Mr. Sparks edited my post.
If you read that group of four sentences, I think you will notice that the first sentence does <snip> tie in with the second sentence. I know that you all know I am <snip> the best writer around here.
I remember saying something like a new vehicle should be named after Gen Gavin, <snip> a vehicle that was starting to move into the history books.
My post did <snip> support his position on naming the M113 after anyone.
<snip>
To me, his actions with my <snip> supportive post makes it clear that Mr. Sparks is one individual that can <snip> be trusted. "

- JinxOk, i have been thinking about this for a while.....and now it is time to call in the experts. (That would be you guys.)
