I'm not interested right now, but I probably have already found it at some point or another. They don't give good info. though.

You're not even old enough to drive in the States and you're right-Website doesn't come close to letting you know about driving in Iraq.

I wonder what kind of equipment you would drive over there? If it's military issue, then be prepared to lose weight in a rolling sauna - no A/C, no heat or sound insulation, so the heat from the trans and the engine will soak into the cab. That's not to mention the 120-130+ degree days. Then if you survive that, you'll have to get past the roadside bombs, being kidnapped, and the increasing threat of being caught in the middle of a civil war. There's not enough money in Iraq to make me want to try it.

You don't know what you're talking about and you've just been Warned.
I SUGGEST you edit your post before I do.

Don't know where in the World you're getting your info from, probably MSM, but there is A/C and it works just fine thank you.
Only people talking about Civil War in Iraq are people here in the States for Political reasons

Spent some time on the Iraq/Kuwati border, and a bit of time in a variety of military trucks behind a gun. Never saw one with A/C or any insulation. The heaters are great for warming up MRE's if you don't get issued a warmer. The tax free money is good, but not worth it. The flies were horrendous in the desert too. Other than that, what else do I not know?
