The next time some obnoxious jerk in a Hummer or Escalade cuts you off as if they owned the road, perhaps you should consider the move taken by Joachim Schoeneich of Neu Anspach Germany. He has decided that a British Army surplus Fox FV721 makes the perfect family grocery getter, and has even fitted a kiddie seat so two year old son Paul can come along for the ride.
While most reports are incorrectly calling it a tank, the Fox is really an armored reconnaissance vehicle, with huge tires rather than the tracks of an actual tank. The overall size is not too unreasonable either, being narrower than a Hummer H1, and shorter than a regular Chrysler 300 sedan. Shoeneich says it's tricky to maneuver, especially with it's non functioning gun sticking out and lousy outward visibility. Still, I suppose nobody's going to argue with you over that last parking spot.
Perhaps Schoeneich should also consider some alternate wheels for once he gets inside the store.
