Remember seeing this the other year..

After stealing a military tank from the National Guard Armory in Kearny Mesa, a deranged man leads police on a destructive chase through San Diego, before finally getting caught on the miridian. It's a wonder how no one was hurt or killed after this man's rampage.

Imagine ringing your insurance company about that,

'Well I was sat at home watching TV, and I heard a weird noise outside, ran to the window to see a tanking driving over my car!'

His name was Shawn Nelson;

EDIT: Imagine owning one of those tanks - it'd cost nearly £1,750 fill at current petrol prices

So is it just a case of jumping in one of these things and turning a key?

Shove it in gear and you're off?

I'd have thought you'd need some kind of training to drive it.

Revision is boring, yes.

Apparently there's 3 gears - 2 forward and 1 reverse. As said though, I would've thought they were like an Aeroplane inside
