People,
Remember....the AFV must somehow relate to what you are..personally. So, please include reasons why you are like that AFV.
It's not what AFV you like.

Well- probably a Churchill vii- British, matured design, idiosyncratic, broad shouldered, dependable, adaptable, not the fastest-mover in the world (but good uphill) and fairly well armed... hang on, this isn't net-dating, is it? :-)

Any recovery tank will do.
As practical as a Swiss army knife. Powerfull, but gentle when needed.
Let the other tanks boast with their strenght, size... let them flex their muscles and big mouths, and let them brag about all their parts :-) :-) ... when it comes down to to it they all need... me... to help them out :-) :-)

well...(for me) I assume that Richard took my description of sleeping and smoking and applied it to the Panther since they did break down alot at 1st anyways - one will see more pictures of those tanks dormant and or "smoking" because they're on fire :-) & since I happen to like that particular tank regardless of said faults - I'd say it is a fit. I wouldn't dare lie and say that I'm a cool, hot looking guy who kicks serious butt and that's why I would be a Panther :-)
...then again I would not consider a Panther to be average looking :-)

Yeah a beautifull Marder III Ausf M of course.
Just becouse it is a powerfull (old) tank destroyer.
And it has just that sexy look
But a panther will do that also.

Angela,
I would be like this:
------------------------------------
ADDITION APRIL 30 2005:
------------------------------------
To make absolute clear: this is NOT a model I build, but I photgraphed it at Intermodellbau Dortmund 2005. Builder is unknown to me...
IT IS however a model that could represent me when we are AFV's...
------------------------------------
Cheers!
Paul

That is an awsome looking "halftrack" :-) :-) Let's see........If I was a tank it would be an IS-2 Stalin tank It's the only tank you Earthling creatures ever produced that had a look that says "don't mess with me"

yup, I know of the habit of Panthers to be asleep more than working lol .
The average looking part is probably the hardest.. I don't think their average looking either btw.. but.. couldn't think of anything else.
Oh, and I am like the Leopard. Can adapt to any role.

Being from NY you would have to be well armoured and have a fast thinking crew and a tough attitude and sharp eguipement also a Big 120mm gun and of course top secret armour plateing that it has or you'll be eaten up on the streets of NYC.
So I think I would be a M1A2 Abrams w/ mine plow it's one of the BEST tanks of all time 2nd to the German Tiger because there will never be a true test for it because of the other Main battle tanks that can even come close to it are our allies.
Like they say it's the heavyweight campion but will never have that fight to prove that it's the best. Because it would beat the Tiger. The Tiger is only the best because it faugt in WW2 and it ruled the battle feild.Like the M1A2 would if did go into battle.
The M1A2 is fast and can shot on the run at targets more than a mile away. It can be hit by mostly anything and survive being hit and still keep on fighting. There allot terrible things in the world today that test the human spirt and I can take a beaten and I keep on going.
I did construction work for my farthers business and have been in Tae Qon Do since I was 8 years old my hands are registerd over in keroa when my master was a judge for the olympic's one year and would have gone but that fall while playing football I tour my knee bad and never was the same since. I know I can survive like a M1 can because I was run over by a 10 ton steamroller and become disablied and I am still alive and kicking. Plus while I was hurt over that my daughter had something happen to her that would break most people but I am still here and alive. So to say I had my fights and I was good and never knocked out or knocked down I still haven't had that big chapionship fight.When I was younger I had to fight a room of people at a party one time in NYC and I was the only white person there and I cleared the room and every time I walked the streets after that they would never look at me they would look down and walk faster. Some of my little brothers friends say I am a urban legend up in NYC.
And like the M1 Abrams they are feared and respected by everyone that see's it and in a fight people run away when they see it coming.
