Today I went to drive a tank (www.driveatank.com) and got to fire a sten gun, M4, and 1919 belt fed (all full auto) then we went out and drove an APC, and a couple tanks. I got to take the Challenger tank over a Cadillac! Great time and I highly recommend going.

The owner/instructor for my driving. Great guy!
The Trojan APC we drove. Drove it with the hatch closed, looking through the little windows. Made it a bit more of a challenge. Also these aren't made for a 6'2" person!
The first car to die
Second car. Old LTD.
Here is the Cadillac I crushed. Sorry the pictures posted in backward order. They gave me the hood emblem and the key to take home as souvenirs. Even offered to let me keep the Caddy!
