There are, what, 20-25 regular posters on the History Forum? Everybody just pitch in equally and one of these babies could be ours. Everybody gets to drive it, too. I'll even let you park in my back yard. My wife won't mind as long as I sling a tarp over it whenever she has girls over for Bunco:
I don't think I'd want one that just sat on my lawn, besides, there isn't room what with the rusting refrigerator, cushionless, ripped up old sofa, and the '67 VW Bug with the doors missing, sitting on cinder blocks.
Now, if I could secure a street legal, functioning tank, that would be different. That would be fun to take out into traffic. Some D-bag is tailgating you on the highway, you just rotate the turret around and fire a warning shot into his grill. Parking will never be a problem, if there are no spaces, you simply crush the vehicle occupying the space you need and park on top of it. With the treads you can go off road when required, say you are stuck in a traffic jam in a town, you create your own shortcut by driving through the stores or houses.
People in the Philly area will remember John DuPont, heir to the chemical fortune and local wacko. He used to tool around his suburban community in a Vietnam-era tank. Of course, that was before he went off the deep end and shot to death a former Olympic gold medal wrestler, then barricaded himself in his mansion.
It's a nice idea, but I think I'll pass. Time shares are rarely good investments anyway. I'll just wait until they bring ZipTank to my area.
Remember the guy from Granby Colorado in 2004 ? He put armor plating on his bulldozer, then destroyed the mayor's house, city hall, local newspaper office, and then got stuck in the basement of a Gambles store. It took 12 hours to cut thru the armor plating and get his body out of there, he shot himself hours earlier after the engine failed.
I enjoy my occasional viewing of "world's wildest police videos", and I think that's probably the "best" one of those videos ever shown
