Jul 6 2009Slow Roller: Guy Builds 2MPH Fiat Tank
Ironsmith Kogoro Kurata went and built himself a little tank out of a Fiat and old tractor. Unfortunately, it tops out at 3km (~1.8MPH), making it the world's most boring drive. You could fall asleep at the wheel for an hour and not even make to the end of your driveway. No, this thing needs some rockets. And fuzzy dice. Because nothing says, "helloooooo ladies" better than a pair of fuzzy dice. Besides me. Helloooooo ladies. You liked that, didn't you? It's my deep voice -- it resonates inside you. Like an opera singer's, but 80x manlier.
Hit the jump for a video of the tank inaction(!).

It appears you're unclear on the difference between a tractor and a tank: the latter is pretty much indestructible, and it has a big cannon on it that goes *BOOM* (like a firework).

Looks like a crappy Russian museum tractor with a crappy Russian museum car thrown on top to hide the crappy Russian museum tractor.

Tank "inaction"? brilliant...

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max went back in time with red matter and used some to destroy the planet where it was invented, not considering that his action might cause a paradox where the red matter would never be invented at all. He also foolishly allowed his ship to be destroyed, and destroying the red matter with it, before he got a chance to use it to stop the event that wiped out his home planet in the first place.

no comment on the math? if you travel at 1.8 mph and fall asleep for an hour and haven't left your driveway, that's a hmm... iduno... 1.8 mile driveway...
