    I can't see them very well, but the first is either an M-88 or the German Leopard equivalent Armored Recovery Vehicle, a tow truck for tanks. The next one's a shot in the dark, but a Luchs (Lynx, in English) Infantry Combat Vehicle?

    Thanks. That's exactly what it was. There was a trainload of equipment heading eastwords at an unusual time. The blogger was asking if the vehicles were German or not. Let me know if the image isn't showing up. I'll then host it through a reliable source. Right now, it's X-ing:

    Right, it is an M-88; I haven't seen one since I was in high school (the local National Guard Armory had one, along with a couple M-60A2s). The angle of the pic only gave me a mostly front-on view, so I couldn't 100% tell one way or the other.

    This is the Bundeswehr's Leopard-based ARV:

    Look what they've done to this poor T-Bird. A two barrel carburetor on a possibly laundered supposed 460 is bad enough:
