WTH, Found a tank today.

[frodobaggins]

Please stop sending me private messages to purchase the tank. It belongs to the United States government. It is not for sale.


I went to NAPA today to get some pipe plugs. Well behind the building at some junky business, was this !!

Please identify, I'm not up on my armor

M60, correct? Now you have to see if you can buy it for scrap value!

I ain't sure, but that definately looks like an M-60 main battle tank. Wonder how it "got there"? Thinkin someone just misplaced it? (naw, I don't think so!)
God bless,
Tony

Interested, for damn sure. Can afford it, no frickin' way. (I think)

On a side note....

Why is it that in AA, Narc-Anon, and other substance addiction programs that "Recovery" means the process of GETTING OVER YOUR ADDICTION....

But to an MVer "Recovery" means GETTING ANOTHER "FIX"?????

Just wondering.

Frodo,

YOU NEED TO BUY AND SAVE THIS TANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I were working and had the money, I'd be on the way to LA to look you up so you could show me where it's located!

 

[velociT]

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

"Any problem created by a tank can be solved by a tank"

 

[frodobaggins]

I will reveal it's exact location only if I can aid in it's recovery !
And crawl all over it, take pics, pretend to drive it, make motor noises, etc !

"Honey, do you mind if I mortgage the house ?"

 

[frodobaggins]

Ok, guys, I need some help with my EUC & SF97.

And what do I put for GVW ?

 

[redcoat54th]

Frodo consider forming a group of people to buy the tank. Sell shairs to raise the cash and you are still part owner. Bob

Ya know, a third or fourth mortgage isn't sounding too bad about now...

The net weight of an M60 is 93,000, and gvw is approximately 102,000+/- depending on gear/equipment load.
