Pimp My Tank!

pimp-ride.jpg

Here’s one to read over a morning cup of Joe…

When you absolutely, positively must crash that party you weren’t invited to, here’s your ride.

It’s sophisticated, yet rugged.

The white color scheme and United Nations logo stenciled on the side says “I’m willing to be reasonable about this. Someone must have forgotten to put me on the guest list.” But the smooth-bore 120 jutting from the turret says: “Though, if you’re not going to let me in, we’re gonna have a problem.”

Comfortable Corinthian leather bench seats that can accommodate all your scantily-clad groupies - and thick glass portals to keep the paparazzi at bay.

Oh, and did we forget the beverage cooler and milspec champagne bottle rack?

So when the pansies in Hollywood try to block your entrance to their post-production party in the Hills with their girlie-man Prius hybrids, just put this chick magnet in gear and drive right the hell over them.

Only an idiot would have mistaken that thing for a tank!! An apc, ok-most likely something that the Frogs have designed and built-champagne???? Good luck with that going against something big and bad! Abrahms? T-80?

It is with out a doubt, that some folks do not know the differance beteen a personel carrier and a TANK. How ever I still think it would be a cool toy to have. I know from exsperience, that chicks do dig tanks!!!

Posted by: P. Duff at August 3, 2007 02:02 PM


This HAD to have been designed by the French.....a wine rack??? What are these yahoos thinking?

Posted by: Sflraptor at July 30, 2007 11:32 PM


whoever built that is gonna go fricken broke putting spinners on it...

Posted by: Ferret at July 30, 2007 04:12 PM


Yock a booming a@# stereo system up in that ride, no chrome? Whud up wit dat!!

Posted by: Chris Morgan at July 28, 2007 11:20 PM


This is a highly modified AFV 430 series, which were originally feilded by the British Army. Very similar to M113 in design and purpose.

Oh Yeah! Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man and a man in uniform is sharp. Impress me with your 'Big Gun' darlin'. Knowing how to properly put your gun in action is also very important to us girls. The problem I envision is what valet is going to park it for you? Holly-weird is very 'into' valet parking. Is that thing big enough for a dance floor inside of it? But then most guys only know the Horizontal Bop and all appearances are that dance could be easily managed. What girl could say No to someone who picks her up in that bucket?

The fact that this is a UN tank speaks volumes. The turret is designed to shoot leaflets aying "Please don't be mean." Bunch of useless Wankers

Posted by: Bill Wa at July 27, 2007 06:17 PM


I was in Tanks for 12 years and wish we had a wet bar!But that was then this now!

Posted by: Jeff at July 27, 2007 06:09 PM


Looks like a M88/ M1 hull with a turret off of a LAV, either way, id love one just to roll over them freaken libs in LA and Frisco! oh, was Sheehan in that list?

being a chic...ummm...can I say....I'd take a ride in that.. or really any tank! I prefer the non pansied version, you know, camo and grease, with a cooler for bud light.
men, a tank is not what we find hot...its the men in uniform that are in it! now thats HOT!

Posted by: Tgirl at July 27, 2007 11:58 AM


A 120mm gun??? Looks like a Scorpion Turret with a 76mm smooth-bore to me.... Still an excellent way to announce your arrival...

Posted by: Alan Prusila at July 27, 2007 10:36 AM


I don't wantone, Iwant 4!!

Posted by: Ray at July 27, 2007 10:04 AM


i think it is british. L85's on the weapons rack is a qiveaway. but still pretty cool. is it air conditioned? lol :D

Posted by: matt at July 27, 2007 09:23 AM


We put surround sound and a DVD player in our stryker but this guy definately one upped us.
kudos.

Posted by: Nick at July 27, 2007 09:12 AM


Ok. I'll bite. What is it called and who does it belong to. We all know the UN didn't design it. Even though there's champagne in the rack, I can't believe its french.

Posted by: Ron Pack at July 27, 2007 08:41 AM


Hey, I want 2 of them. and now Osama, you bastard, Let's see you run and hide now. I would love to catch your (^&^%*(*( running across the desert and have you in these sites.

Where's Xzibit

Posted by: Rich at July 27, 2007 07:26 AM


Whow! Who would not want one of these! Never pay tolls again! How about the boom box & a cd holder.
This could really catch on!

Posted by: Henry at July 27, 2007 07:00 AM


Dude, you're forgetting that if they see you drive up in your own tank, they will automatically assume you're richer than "the Govonator", and will flock to you in droves.

Sweeeeeet!

Beats the Dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 I wandered around Korea in.

Posted by: Walter E. Wallis at July 27, 2007 06:23 AM


Dose it come in other colors, how many miles you get to a gallon, and dose it come with CD,and DVD player.

Posted by: D at July 27, 2007 06:14 AM


That's not a "tank", it's a tarted up armoured personell carrier, obviously a sad case of more money than brains.

Posted by: "gunner" at July 27, 2007 04:02 AM


But will it float? Doesnt appear to be much of a houseboat. dont take it to n.o.

Posted by: terry at July 26, 2007 09:01 PM


Lose the metrosexual paint job and evil UN logo and I'll take one too.

...and chicks dig big guns. Trust me.

Posted by: Christian Lowe at July 26, 2007 11:04 AM


oh, you'd have no problem picking up chicks in that thing, trust me.

Posted by: Brian at July 26, 2007 10:22 AM


Chicks follow the Cristal, so this tank will do the trick.

Posted by: Ward at July 26, 2007 09:56 AM


I could blow up the god damn world with this thing.

"Dude wheres your tank"

Posted by: Foreign.Boy at July 26, 2007 08:56 AM


We're gonna get a tank, and you're worried about chicks. What chicks are we gonna pick up man?

Posted by: Andrew at July 26, 2007 08:31 AM


Dude, you can't pick up chicks in a tank
