~Silliness prevails~
I found this on Amazon today(not that I was looking for a desert pint-sized tank) and my first thought was “M’God, people will try to sell ANYTHING if they think they can find a buyer!”
That was pretty much my second and third thought too.
The Badankadonk Landcruiser (aka “The Donk) retails for $19,999( because that price sounds cheaper than $20k) and is available for customization from the manufacturer. I understand it has a kick-ass sound system and tops speeds of 40 mph with a 6hp Tecumseh engine(the same motor that’s that’s currently powering my lawnmower, coincidence? Pretty much.) I’m wondering if the fact that it moves faster than one can run qualifies it as a “Land Cruiser?”
The best part was the satisfied new owners comments:
Finally, a tank you can trust, December 1, 2005

I'll admit it. Shopping for a personal tank can be a bit daunting. Many times in the past I've purchased overpriced, so-called "battle tanks", then driven them into battle only to be wrecked in ten minutes by the first blow off of some insurgents home-made morter.
But not this baby, no way.
This tank R-O-C-K-S! Literally- the 400-watt sound-system keeps me rockin like a crazy man as I'm dishing out justice commando style. Wow. I just can't say enough. And the kids love it, too- imagine the look of terror in the eyes of the enemy as I'm dropping off my kid's team to their soccer game. Shock and awe, my friends, SHOCK AND AWE!
I had NAO install the optional GPS-guided white phosphorus missile system, and talk about *SWEET*! Burn baby burn!!!
Oh, it also has plenty of room for groceries, and if you need to like move a loveseat or something it'll fit if you use a little bungee cord.
The only real negative with this tank is that it shows up on radar a little more than I like (although there is a polyresin graphite stealth model available). Also, the included spare isn't full size.
Overall, a great tank.
I’m certain we’re going to see these all over the place during our next political upheaval or armegeddon-esque, Mad-Maxian phase of human history, especially with that beautiful rust patina.
Badonkadonk tank, get yours today. . .
