I used to drive a Humvee loaded down with enough HE to make a smouldering crater of me as if it were a jaunt to the office.
Throw in some 105mm Willy Pete rounds upright behind the driver's seat and you get pretty much an image of what went through my A-driver's mind when we were racing around Fort Drum trying to shake someone off of our tail during AT.

150' at 5mph. At 10 mph, body roll is significant. Above that, it goes tire side up.
