    shoot, there isnt nothing like taking the 725 out for a cruise and watching the looks on peoples faces. mines going to be in the christmas parade this year and going to try and make the vets reunion but its about the same time as our Fe. betty got to get in the pilots seat in a blackhawk last year which I dont think she has ever been close to a chopper before.

    I took my son and his friends to thir JR high year end school dance in the M725 last year. They loved it, all the kids where outside waiting to enter the school when we pulled up, my son and his friends all came jumping out of the back.
    Next year he gets his license and the M725 will be his beach/surfing truck, he and a couple of his friends surf. The M725 is perfect, can change and get warm in the back. I picked up an MWRH (military food/water heater) off ebay that I plan on setup in the back as well, so they can make some hot chocolate. Actually I am a little concerned that having a nice big warm van is the perfect love machine especially with the blackout curtains. Have to keep an eye on that. It all comes down to attitude, my son's close friend wants to get a mini school bus as his first car so that he can pick all his buddys. So far so good my son and his friends are all good kids, having a teenager is getting scary.
