Well, trying to convince the wife that I "need" these doesn't work anymore so I just make the deal and tell her after. She's usually upset for a bit but you know that old saying.. ."better to ask for forgiveness than permission".

Is that a real Abrams? And seriously, what do you do for a living?

Good to see you here. I visited BFV in March had a blast literally! Next visit I want to run a MG42. When we were there someone ran the minigun that was a hoot. Haha.

Incredible!

How much did the Abrams cost? I've been looking into picking one up.

I'm thinking that if you had a T-55, the HOA would no longer be making the rules.

That's awesome, I've been in Vegas for a couple years now but haven't checked out Battlefield Vegas yet. I'll have to make it over there one of these days.

T-55 - $85k located in California

http://www.armyjeeps.net/T55NewA/russian_t55_main_battle_tank.htm

I wonder how hard it would be to make the main cannon functional after Form 1'd

The only way I will ever own armor is if I build a killdozer.

I keep meaning to come visit you guys.

That's the one that I purchased.

As for making it functional, we have somebody coming over during SHOT Show to give us an estimate.

I have a few jerry cans, and a mockup M2HB. Yep, that's about as close as I can claim to owning armor.

Right now we have three full-time mechanics on staff. Two are 91B's in the NVANG and the other mechanic just got out of the USMC (he started THE very next day he left Pendelton). We also have three part-time guys who are Federal contractors who keep the NVANG motor pool maintained during the week in addition to being NVNG themselves.

But having tanks is about as cool as owing a warplane which is as cool as it gets.
