I took my M37 down to Ft Carson yesterday along with 2 other guys with a Mighty Mite and a M1009.
We participated In the Rod benders MWR car show.
They had a Military Class for MV's that showed up. Damien won 3rd place for his M1009 , I won 2nd place for the M37 and the MWR Staff choice trophy out of all the cars in the show and Don won 1st place for his Mighty Mite. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed displaying their vehicles for the public. Fort Carson MWR really put on a great show with tons of things for the families. There were around 50 cars total, the show was kind of small due to 3 or 4 other car shows the same day. But it was great.
1st picture is the 3/3 Cavs old Motor Pool when at Fort Carson. I wanted the M37 there for a shot with its 3/3 Cav markings.
2nd picture is 4 ID and Fort Carson HQ
My daughter and the trophies , the little one is turned around reads Fort Carson Rod Benders Military Class 2nd Place.

Driving it around the base "its home" was fun, my son and I had to put on the GI Issue green "base ball" caps while driving around post. Even got mixed up In a convoy of HMMWV's with soldiers. They seem to like it.
