Buy this real-life Halo Mongoose

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 5th 2009 at 6:15PM }

Boy, we've seen a lot of real-life custom Halo vehicles lately. First there was a tiny, completely huggable Warthog, then a full-size Warthog and now we've got a working, custom Mongoose. The vehicle was spotted on Craigslist and, according to the seller, it was originally used as part of a Halo 3 launch event. A modified 2007 Kawasaki KFX 700 ATV, the seller claims it was won in a drawing, but now he has to sell it. If you could use a "mint condition" Mongoose -- and have $9000 laying around -- this baby can be all yours.

Once you pick it up, all you'll need is a buddy and a (Nerf) rocket launcher and you've got instant good times.

I've got a KFX like this...and that's a serious rip off. It's a great bike, but 9000 for a custom plastic job isn't worth it. Especially considering how it doesn't look like a Mongoose.

They are called ATVs in real life.

Wow... that looks absoloutely rubbish. At least make it look like a mongoose...

Currently it just looks like a plain old quad with a shit paintjob. I mean it's not even the same colour or bodywork as a mongoose.

the sad part is someone will still buy it and they will be encouraged to make more crap

sort of like avatar cloths
