A friend brought his BA-64b by the house today and I thought some of you motor-heads would like to make a head-to-head comparison between the vehicles.

MissUphill in the driver's seat of the BA-64 says that it has less visibility than the FJ - so those of you who didn't think any 4x4 could have worse visibility, take notice!
I've decided that the next modification for the Scorpion will be a turret.
