Tornado Intercept Vehicle: car mod for stormchaser use

Sean Casey is a storm-chaser and an IMAX cinematographer. He transformed a long-wheelbase 1997 Ford F-450 diesel dually pickup into what he calls "TIV" (Tornado Intercept Vehicle), for driving into tornados. Every inch of detail was planned for the purpose at hand: there's even a turret for the IMAX camera! I've seen art-cars in Black Rock City that looked similar, but all they did was blast trance music while transporting bodypainted hippies from one rave to another. This mod's made for workin'.

Occupants peer out through prison-window Lexan portals. "It's so ugly! It's just a big mobile tripod for the camera," Casey says.
