BLOCKER Four-Wheeled Vehicle Driver Filename: McCarthy, David B. Blocker drove a taxi in Boston for three years. After seven armed robberies, three backseat births, and one near fatal plunge through a collapsing roadway, he decided it was safer to drive something armour-plated with the ability to shoot back. He is qualified to drive every wheeled vehicle in the army inventory and was the test driver for a half dozen prototype vehicles at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. "I've seen him go into a complete roll at high speed, recover and keep on going. He takes on a slalom minimally at 85mph and doesn't tip nary a cone. The skid pad? Don't even ask. All that and he does it with vehicles built to military specs. Amazing!" |
