Storm chaser Steven Green had this custom car built so that he could drive it directly into tornadoes -- which he did so in 2004. The chassis was originally from a desert racing vehicle which was converted by Green into its current incarnation at the price of half a million dollars. The Tornado Attack Vehicle, as it's called, is now covered with 16 gauge steel and the bulletproof windows can withstand a .38 bullet if necessary.

The only people who will survive the post-apocalyptic, Mad-Maxian world following the inevitable war between the United States and the Soviet Union (in one of the years of the 1980s, I'm sure) will be Tornado Chaser.

That thing must be one nasty gas guzzler.
