Who has not wanted to go on a rampage with tank after a day from hell at the office or a fight with a significant other? It may seem like a destructive daydream, but just about anything is possible in the US with the right amount of money. According to The Detroit News, Jason Harper was able to experience the thrill of destroying a Pontiac sedan while behind the wheel or as the case may be, levers of a FV 4201 Chieftain tank. Outside of Minneapolis, MN, a company called Drive A Tank offers the general public to play Army with decommissioned British Military tanks.
Trails are set up throughout the Drive A Tank property and for an additional $499, clients are offered the chance to park atop a unsuspecting Pontiac Grand Prix. Before attempting to live out a car crushing midlife crisis or revenge fantasy on an ex-girlfriend’s cute little economy car, Tony Borglum provides tank operators a warning: stop on top of the car or rip the fenders off the tank.
Borglum operates Drive A Tank and has been importing decommissioned military vehicles for a number of years. After panicky neighbors blocked his first attempt at opening Drive A Tank, Borglum was finally successful in his endeavor. For those seeking a unique experience or a great present to mark a milestone birthday, then perhaps grinding a Grand Prix into the dirt with a tank is for you.
