Arnold swartzaneggers tank runs over wagon.

I just looked at yahoos page and on there Arnold has a tank it says he ran over a car with it. I watched it he ran over my Edith. It's a w123 wagon in tan. I almost cried. I didn't know if you guys have seen it or not.

That wagon had such bad rust you could see it 100 feet away, not really a loss...unless it had a good motor/trans in it......I bet it was scrap already.

Damn, destroying a TD. Why not a sedan, there's a zillion of those. It looks just like mine. How did he get your car?

That tank uses a V12 810HP 29 liter GASSER engine. Ridiculous. It has a 233 gallon fuel tank good for ONE HUNDRED miles. 2.3 gallons to the mile?!?! Germany had better stuff than that 15 years earlier......

What good is a machine that needs a fleet of tankers following it into war to keep it going??

I wonder if there was not some deeper meaning to this display? One tank rolls over another?

Better still a coupe - (in my opinion) they don't look right in W123 format...
