actually … he stole it from the national guard armory over by sharp memorial hospital here in san diego. fairly epic, but i think he had pretty much decided to die before he climbed into it.

How did they do that?? Get someone to go to the top of the tank, knock on the hatch and shout “Candygram for Mr Tank Driver, Candygram for Mr Tank Driver”.

Nope!! This was actually a proper Vauxhall engine that was put in the shell of a Ferrari or somesuch basically because it was a hell of a lot cheaper to buy a shell (and associated doodads) and any old engine, and also gave him bragging rights. (I’ve a funny feeling now that it wasn’t a Porsche and it definately wasn’t a Lotus)

A Lotus? (probably a 1970s Esprit, Eclat or Elite) If so, then the block was based on a Vauxhall slant-4 (one side of a still-born V8) but the head was a Lotus design.

Or a Porsche 924? In which case the engine was basically a tuned version of one from a Vw LT van!

Actually it’s not a question of what the bodywork is like, but what is under the hood. I used to have a lecturer whose car was a Porsche, (or a Lambo, or a Ferrari, one of those posh Sports cars at any rate ) but the secret was let out by one of my other lecturers who said that it was all a big con really and whilst it said whatever it was on the cover underneath it had a Vauxhall engine

He stole it from the Marine Corps Reserve Storage area in East Miramar when Miramar was still a NAS. He had some serious mental issues and of course The Marine Corps Reserve got in trouble too for leaving the key to the hatches on the tanks in an accessible place. Of course, tanks don’t need keys to start up, but it is a multi-step process.

It was a very bizarre experience.

And you’ll notice that none of the other drivers pulled off to the shoulder when they heard the sirens.

I was across the street from the armory when he took the tank. I remember we were all standing there stuck on stupid as the tank drove by. Good time, good times.

Anti-personnel landmines wouldn’t be effective against a tank – but special anti-tank mines are made, which are much more powerful, and require much more weight than a person stepping on it to set it off.

He was still in full control of the tank, trying to move it when it got stuck while officers were trying to get him to stop. OF COURSE they shot him, he was a clear, mortal danger to the officers on scene and the public at large. He ran over several vehicles and charged police cars during the chase. Scumbag got what was coming to him.

Oh, and you’re supposed to say “Happy Turkey Day” (“Happy Thanksgiving” is also acceptable, but not as fun).

Jokes are THE hardest thing to understand from another country. I spent hours trying to explain cartoons to Chinese office mates while in graduate school.

Thanks for the explanation. I did see the yellow VW but wasn’t sure about the reference to ”slug’. I have added a new item to my knowledge of Americana.

He was driving in his underwear. The tank got stuck on the barrier and threw a track. Then they shot the driver when they could have just tear gasses his ass.

Also the color of the bug would usually be called out in case multiple bugs were spotted at the same time thus distinguishing them from each other.

By: justacarolinian

The Volkswagon Beetle is referred to as a Bug, and in a travel game as a slug bug, or punchbug. The game comes from the 70′s when they started popping up like daisy’s everywhere. People traveling in large, comfortable American cars would punch others in the arm, if they were the first one to call out “slug bug” or “punchbug.”
If you didn’t notice, that is a VW Beetle in the picture.
