I hope they don't scrap it and instead put it in a museum. That thing is pristine.

Who among the present generation wouldn't try to sneak an Abrams back to their basement given the means and opportunity?

It's quite likely that it might be the most valuable panther in the world now due to its supposed running condition and the fact that it wasn't rescued from a Polish swamp and is 80% new parts. It looks like it might have been one that was scooped from the factory or a rail yard and never saw action as even the mud-flaps on the front and the tool boxes on the back are in pristine condition (first sign that a tank has never been used).

Abrams gets about 0.6 mpg. Just starting the engine burns up 8 gallons in the combustion chamber. Figure off the current price of jet fuel and you're in the ballpark.

How about alternative fuels like diesel? Edit: I actually went and looked at what the US military paid for fuel last year. JP-8 is $3.62 a gallon, regular unleaded gasoline is $3.53, high sulfur diesel is $3.25. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Jul 6, 2015 |

They're still thrusting forward, and pushing against various pieces of geography is kinda the whole point of a cb90. That actually looks like a sweet landing site, with the pillar locking it in place and the rocks at perfect height for the little green men to jump ashore with the bridge for concealment.

not caring here posted:Errrr, there's over 750k vets in Georgia alone, and they can't even put in decent roads, mass transit, or balance a budget, and you expect to get into a clinic of your choice just because you walk in? That is absolutely hosed up considering Georgia is falling over itself to give away 100s of millions a year in film subsides in order to try to beat Louisiana in giving away free money to Hollywood in return for a bunch of temporary film jobs. Louisiana realized it was a scam when film subsides started to approach the education budget and are putting a cap and trying to dial things back. Hint ... Hollywood will show up to any state if they aren't the ones paying for the hookers and blow. I'm really surprised the pitchforks aren't out over this.

So whats the deal with the dude with the tank and flak cannon? They just straight up said you cant have these and took them? Pretty hosed up if they sell the stuff and the guy who has been maintaining this equipment all this time just gets shafted.

Pretty hosed up if they sell the stuff and the guy who has been maintaining this equipment all this time just gets shafted. As I understand it, under German law they can claim that they're government property because the Federal Republic of Germany is the legal successor state to Nazi Germany and as such inherited all it's tools of war, whatever they may be. It's more than likely the Panther owned by Friedrich Christian Flick, who's father was convicted of using slave labor in the war and has been investigated a few times in the past for possessing/trafficking Nazi art/art stolen by the Nazis, and the tank and cannon were noticed during the most recent investigation. So the story goes the Panther was "legally obtained" as scrap metal from a British seller in the 70s, which I find somewhat dubious, but I guess we just have to wait for the investigation to finish. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/how-german-investigators-found-lost-nazi-art-beloved-by-hitler-a-1035230.html quote:In the home of a collector near Kiel in northern Germany, police officers found a large bronze sculpture of a naked warrior holding a sword in his extended hand. Experts believe it could be "Die Wehrmacht," one of two sculptures created by Arno Breker, a top sculptor for the Nazis, for the main courtyard of Hitler's New Reich Chancellery in 1939. quote:The Flick trail eventually led to a large property on the Bay of Kiel in northern Germany. The owner had an excellent reputation among dealers of Nazi memorabilia. He was old and rich, and he had one of the Wehrmacht's "Panther" battle tanks tucked away in an underground bunker. Aerial images of his property showed two large bronzes, one of them most likely a Breker. Chances are they'll go to a couple of German military museums if they do seize them. Depending on the condition the tank will most likely go to one of the museums that already has running vehicles, if not it'll become a static display at someplace like the Dresden War Museum.

I read somewhere that he didn't even hide the tank, and that in the 80's every time there was heavy snow he would drive about in it doing his shopping and presumably annihilating any vehicle made in a communist state.

I thought "stolen Nazi art" meant the guy had paintings looted from French museums or something, not actual Nazi-made Nazi art. The German government is weird.
