It is really quite disturbing to see our society enjoy destroying. And how in the world were they able to get their hands on a tank? Govt surplus?

if you have the money you can buy old military tanks and restore them.. i think you also have to have a license or permit to own one..

it is good to destroy something sometimes..the best business to work in is demolition not only do you get to destroy stuff but you get paid to do so


and just for you when i become a billionare i will have a demolition derby at my mcmansion ... cars of choice? rolls royce, mercedes benz, bently, and lexus... take your pic all brand new

Eastern Euro location? That W126 was clearly US spec. I doubt they "imported" junk cars to Eastern Europe to be run over by tanks and mortared.

OK I'll take you up on your derby offer:

How about the lexus with you in it and I'll get in the Bradley tank. We'll test the structural integrity of the lexus. I'm sure you would agree that the destruction would be cool.

God, people always have their panties in a bunch. Big deal, so they shot a mortar and ran a tank over a junker. Heck, if I were there I would be loving the destruction. I would have loved to fired that mortar!!!

Our society is becoming a bunch of pussies that oppose everything. Oh wait, that's the LIBERALS that hate this type of stuff. Am I right?

It doesn't matter what it is. Would you do this if you had the resources? I think it is stupid and dangerous. I don't know about the tank but I think it is illegal to own a mortar and shoot live rounds. I have better things to do with my time than to destroy things for laughs.

Damn right I would do this if I had live mortar rounds or a tank. Wouldn't we all?

Heh...If I had live mortar rounds or a tank, there'd be a lot fewer people in the left lane driving slow.

You can purchase mortar's. The tank looks like an old 50's vintage Patton.

All in all a very cool way to enjoy the 4th. Heck I'd be on top of the tank in a panzer commanders uniform drinking beer!

Whats the problem, go down to the local junk yard with a flat bed and grab a few straight junks for $50 or so. After getting run over return them to the junk yard.

If I had a tank I would crush cars with it, actualy after having put up with MB's for a bit I think I would quite enjoy running one over.

I'd be right there with ya, except I'd be yelling to run everything over. From the trees to the car that is blown up...nothing would get by me.
