GOOD NEWS! Klaus will be taking the Panther out and we get to ride today!

BAD NEWS, it WILL be ready for inspection tomorrow, noon.

Driving in snow, his favorite riding time would minimize scratching the roadway.

(this is from 2020; I guess they made a movie about it!)

“GRANBY, Colo. — Tucked in the mountains between Winter Park and Grand Lake sits a small community of 2,000 people that was thrust into the national spotlight when one of its residents turned a bulldozer into a makeshift tank and went on a rampage, destroying much of the town in 2004. Now, a full-length documentary, ‘Tread,’ about that incident...”

The Panther obviously is the bigger story, but having a feared 88 was pretty impressive too. Best/most famous antitank weapon of the war.

This man was a collector, why was he punished and ordered to sell his tank to a museum or another collector? If he sold it to a collector, wouldn’t the government then go after that collector?

I’d have a heck of a time getting that down my basement stairs.

I hate when I help a friend move and they don't tell me about the tank that has to be carried upstairs.

Good point. The term “blockhead” for Germans didn’t come from nowhere. Lol.

There’s got to be a law against it...there’s a law against everything in Germany.

In France I fired a rifle grenade at an American tank but I don’t remember which WWII tank it was.
