Anybody watch this show on the Discovery Channel? I love the 17,000 pound Cummins powered tank that Sean Casey built (TIV-2), and then there's the copy-cat Dominator.

I love watching stuff on tornados. I would love to go on a chase with these guys and see one in person too. Even though they are destructive, they're still amazing to see on tv. Probably wouldnt think that way though if I lived in an area that had them. lol

I LOVE that show. TIV-1 and TIV-2 are awesome, but I'm not super impressed with Reed and his Dominator. Dr. Wurman is kind of an a**hole this season too.

Never watched the show.

Tornadoes scare the hell out of me. I have tornado nightmares on a regular basis.

We don't have many tornadoes here at least, although we do have a half dozen or so small ones per year.

I love that show, seen every episode since season 1. The Dominator is gay, its just a suburban with armor on it, the TIV is all custom. I would love to chase tornadoes.

I should. I have seriously been considering it, although I would rather start with a Suburban.
