$20,000...that looks might tempting, a maxime machine gun would be nice to. That T-34 would look GREAT as a lawn ornament only 1 question, how do they get those things across the ocean?

It's just like eBay. 20k for the tank, 1.6 million to ship it.

You guys know the reason why these are so cheap right? They sell them for 20k because the likely hood of someone wanting one, or knowing how to use one is very slim. Youd also have to spend a good amount of money getting a license to own one of these things. BTW for the maxim machine gun, if you want one that is in workin order, your looking at $25k. Id pick the tank and stick with it!

I don't know of any state that requires a license to own a tank, provided the gun(s) have been de-militarized.

It is nearly impossible to license one to run on the road, though. Besides playing hell with the asphalt, tracked vehicles don't have a title...

Yeah, but wouldn't it be great on the freeway commute? No more being cut off. And when traffic slows to a standstill, go over it. I gotta get me one of those.

You would never have to worry about hitting a deer agin.

But then agin you would really have to watch the traffic laws in something like that. Its not like the cops would have trouble finding out who owns a tank.

Still I wouldn’t mind having one.
