the tank

the ultimate chick magnet. can be seen put putting around in the roughest parts of town. intimidates other vehicles on the road. distinct gun metal paint job. not only is it bulletproof, but also rpg proof. has broken the speed of light and the speed of sound. Because it has broken the speed of sound, sign language is a key for communication while inside the tank. can seat 6 brave soldiers at a time. only down fall is that it cannot be used in stealth operations, since you can hear the fucking tank roll up from over 10000 miles away.

ho #1: did you see or hear the tank screech by last night?

ho #2: i did. my panties come off every time i hear or see the tank.
