"QUANTUM SHOT" #239Hummer owners should shudder - either with envy or disgust
You remember our popular series about VW Beetle modifications, or truck mods? Today we go to the extreme: if you happen to own (or have access to a tank), there is no limit to what you can do with it. Not that you SHOULD do anything to it, but...
Here is a tank (or rather, armored personnel carrier) limo, courtesy TankLimo.com - available for hire for only $3,200, and for a special price ($760 USD) you can even drive a 56ton Chieftain Main Battle Tank... over a family sedan car! Like they say on the site: "Life will never be the same again!"
Release your angst crushing Japanese family car imports:

You can bling some heavy construction machinery in this way, as well:
Russian BTR for $105,000 USD
Courtesy Russian "Za Rulem" this modification has significantly more comforts than the Soviet Army spartan original (BTR-40P-2 which is widely known as BRDM-2). The final product appears to be quite road-worthy and may even fit in your garage.

The plaque above even reads "Dear sir, please take notice" instead of usual "Attention, Beware!"
Here is the least expensive, but maybe not so convincing modification:
