That's a pretty wild departure from the Porsche crowd. I think that is a General Dynamics "Growler", correct?
Diesel powered, end of the world vehicle. All you need some armored doors and panels... I know many states make life difficult for owners of military vehicles that do not meet federal standards. I'm guessing TN, being a pretty free state, is not among the troublesome states?
You get my 100% approval for this purchase!
Yup Growler. TN is no problem for registration (I hope)

How do I get myself one of those? Looks awesome.
govplanet has them sometimes. Most of the ones that crop up now are in really bad shape. I got this one through a private seller after searching for a while.
Getting ready for the Apocalypse?
It's coming, isn't it?
Just need to stock up on MRE's now
