I have a very nice mental image now of a boot attached to one of the road-wheels, helplessly turning and being slowly mangled, the suspension traveling a wee bit whenever the part of the boot that goes under the wheel passes between wheel and track...

I sure would like to tear up the yard with it!

Tankers are lazy.

I'll lend you the money, if you'll take care of a few things for me with it. A few years ago, I saw footage of someone in a surplus tank going down a public street, running over a bunch of parked cars with a mess of cop cars encircling him, but unable to do anything. In the end, I think he hung it up on it's belly pan with both tracks spinning. He probably had a hard time finding a lawyer to represent him in that case.

Just have to add to the negative vibes and the hateraid: DAT

Used to be a 60 driver so I can say that

IIRC, it wasn't surplus. The guy was a nut job who somehow got away with stealing the tank off a base.

Didn't he shoot himself after he got hung up on the barrier?

Marvin was the one with Killdozer.

Marvin Heemeyer

Shawn Nelson was the guy who stole the M60 and went on a rampage in San Diego before he got hung up and the police shot him. Marvin Heemeyer was the guy who built an armor plated bull dozer and flattened a bunch of stuff in Granby.

People are crazy.

Been a while since I went through there, 2 maybe 3 years, but at the time there were still buildings there that looked half dozed.

The thing is, who out there CAN'T relate to Marvin Heemeyer?
I'm not sure I've ever met someone who's never wanted to go and bulldoze a bunch of shit after getting fucked over by someone, ESPECIALLY the government.
Maybe he was a nutjob, and maybe getting fucked over was more in his head than he would've liked to believe, but the fact that he did what he did, and went out of his way to make sure no one got hurt in the process, well... Part of me has got to hand it to the guy.
