Maybe this is just living out a boyhood fantasy.

I mean….what guy hasn’t dreamt of someday being able to blow some things up? I’ve known some who were like that about bulldozers and other mass land-moving utility vehicles. Seriously? That is one hilarious photo. I’d like to think he has thoughts going thru his head on the lines of “I wonder if this thing could spit out a baseball at 120mph?”

That is one sweet modern machine of warfare built for mass destruction

The tank is neat also.

I just keep picturing in my head

JV’s arms shaking the cannon while he makes gun sounds.

Kind of like the Simpsons episode when Millhouse was sitting in a jet at the Air Show – “Take that, mom! Take that, dad! Take that, Dr. Sally Waxler!”
