    That sure would be cool. The closest thing to it would be the M1 Abrams tank. It is powered by a Honeywell AGT1500 gas turbine engine, which produces 1,500 horsepower and allows the tank to reach speeds of up to 42 mph. This engine is known for its multi-fuel capability and high power-to-weight ratio, making it a key component of the tank's performance.

    Back in the 70s, Chevrolet had a very hard time selling its Nova in Spanish-speaking markets. It wasn't because of pricing, styling or mileage. GM executives were baffled until someone finally pointed out to them that "Nova" translates as "doesn't go" in Spanish. The embarrassed automobile giant changed the model name to the Caribe, and sales of the car took off.

    It wasn't about your military comment. Your post was deleted because you made a negative comment about the past administration. Political commentary of any kind is not permitted, per forum rules.

    LOL , if there was not a tank stuck into this forum instead of a car there would have not been a problem? i will watch the posts from here on out because there have been a lot of political post before mine and none of the previous post were not deleted, if anybody watches the news and able to comprehend they would know anyway...BOMBS AWAY!

    Best we can do with available stock is a 1971 Chrysler 300. Those slab sides have to be bullet proof, right?
