Picture 3-8 Todd Lappin says: "There's a soldier in Iraq who's been posting some crazy pictures of American SUVs and pickup trucks that have been modified by civilian security contractors for use as gun trucks. They're insane, in a 'Mad Max at the Wal-Mart parking lot' kind of way."

Reader comment: Devon says:

Regarding your post about the Mad Max cars in Iraq, Death Guild/Thunderdome, my Burning Man group is doing our annual fundraiser this weekend. We have our full battle dome set up, and all of our mad-max style art cars at it. We even have a little video of the sort of mayhem we create on the site. We'll be running bungee fights all night.
