I can haz tank?

Well, this is something you don't see every day.

 

German pensioner given hefty fine for WW2 tank in house

 

Here's the best part:

 

Local media reported that the man had been seen one winter using the tank as a snow plough.

 

Heh.  :D

I must admit to some envy here.  I'd like to have a tank.  I mean, who wouldn't want a tank?  Tanks are awesome.  I'd drive that sucker everywhere.  I'd be like FPS Russia going through the White Castle drive-thru.

The only question would be how I should paint it.  Black with flames?  Red, white, and blue?  Something else?  Hmm...

According to the defendant's lawyer, a US museum is interested in purchasing the Panther tank.

 

Yeah, no kidding.  I'm sure plenty of American civilians would like to purchase it, too.  The demand from wealthy collectors is greater than the supply of Panzers.

I hope this elderly German fellow can get that fine reduced.  The courts should be a little lenient towards an 84-year-old guy.  I mean, he's just a harmless collector.  It's not like he's going to invade Poland or something.
