The combination of the truck's strange proportions and the vegetation around that lake makes them look like little RC cars driving around an icy puddle surrounded by tall grass.
No steering wheel, but two levers instead: https://youtu.be/JLnSlJVAsvU?t=1m44s
Kind of looks like driving an M113. Driving them was fun, but I definitely don't miss anything else about them.
The M113 heyday was already over in my time but they were still around, especially in training brigades. Fun to drive? They were so, so slow compared to Bradleys and Strykers.
