They strapped spare fuel to the outside. How clever. Instant Molotov cocktail for anyone to use.

Get along side of it and stick a 12" round of oak in between the drive sprocket and the first roller wheel, and you now have a sitting duck.

Sorry Boys, those are all just deathtraps on todays battlefield. Any raghead with a 50 caliber and a 500 grain DU sabot is going to send you to your maker. What do you think stopped the isrealiars dead in their tracks last summer? Never going to tell you in our "free press", but they lost about 20 M1 tanks. Saw an Iraqi resistance vidio of them machineing sabots from dud DU rounds over a year ago; was put out by the same group that posted the "Jubal" sniper vidios.

Well, Duh! Who said anything about the battlefield? I was think "Rush hour commute"! It's perfect for carpool duty.
