It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Looks neat. From a practical standpoint though, doesn't look like it has enough armor. I'm seeing some vulnerable stuff down near the legs that could send the whole thing crashing down if it gets hit even with light machine gun fire.

given that it looks like you're supposed to sit on top of it I don't think how much armor the legs have would matter.
If a black-hawk flies over a light show and is not harmed, does that make it immune to lasers?

Hmmm, yeah I guess you are supposed to sit on top. I thought maybe you had a little bit of a cockpit, but yeah, it doesn't look like it.

it kinda looks like that boxy thing on the upper back could be a cockpit, but it doesn't look like it has any internal volume. plus i see some pedals and levers in front just behind what looks like a metal tractor seat facing the wrong way.

I'm really impressed by the balance, given that it looks kind of top heavy. The legs must be deceptively heavy!
