Anyone want a Sherman Tank?

BaT current bid is $400k with 7 days left. Looks like its in good condition. Low miles, hardly shot at. I asked Ms Mash and she was initially interested till she found out that the guns were not operable. She was looking at it as a possible commuter vehicle but if she cannot blow the slow pokes out of the fast lane she said it kind defeats the purpose.

Actually it says there's repaired battle damage .

I used to work in an indie VW shop, right around the corner was a guy who had movie rental cars including a WWII U.S. Army tank .

I saw that when it came out. There is some cool stuff on BAT. I have been a fan for a while.

Prefer a Tiger myself. Way better all round performance and protection in the event of "action". Heard they're a bit more expensive in terms of maintenance though.
