I recall from many years ago, a fellow in SoCal who drove a WWII German Panzerwagon to and from work on the freeway. He owned a company that rented military props to movie companies. He did get looks on the freeway.

Awesome! This guy has the right idea.
I want one today, today!! No more getting run off the road by some ditz on a cellphone. No more blaring horns because I don't rabbit jump the red light before it goes green.
Yeah, come on. Somebody swerve over into my lane, I've got insurance, do you? And if the mechanics on the decommissioned gun worked so that it rotated... ;-)

Your mention of the Dorset tank training area reminds me of a road sign I once saw on one of the narrow country lanes there:
Caution - Tank Drivers under Instruction
Precisely what other road users (I was on a bicycle!) were expected to do when confronted by an incompetently driven tank occupying the entire width of the road was unclear...

My brother went to Michigan Tech. He told me one of the 4X4 guys who was a roommate liked to park on top of a snowbank. In the spring, they found a crushed car under the snowbank.

On HWY 67, around Ft. Stewart, GA, there are signs that say 'Deer Crossing', then there are signs that say 'Tank Crossing'.

My late BiL drove around with a toy cork gun in a gun rack in the back window of his 53 Ford PU. The cork was hanging on a string from the barrel of the gun.
