The Marines are shelling out $100,000 for a $33,000 Jeep (left).The Corps wants a recycled version of the M151 Jeep -- the Vietnam era Jeep -- because the bigger Humvees won't fit inside the new V-22 Osprey (below).
The Jeeps are called Growlers.
They've been rebuilt and modified with new automotive parts. The Dominican Republic bought some of them just four years ago for around $33,000 each.
That was for the military version.
The civilian versions run about $14,000 each. (USAToday)
