Wow. What the hell would anyone need that for? Plus, it's quite small for a tank and only has 6 hp. Wouldn't buy it.
edit: haha. That is a funny name.

Two things.. one, I thought that was Jabba's mobile palace.
Two, what fun is a tank without armament?

At first it looks like a mini Jabba The Hut's spaceship thing.

The hell? Is that a real tank? It just looks like a cheesy cardboard prop from "Return of the Jedi"

But then again, I s'pose you could get two Badonkadonks for the price of one of those.

From that relaxation capsule:
Customers who bought items like this also bought
* 'Fart Bomb Bags' - Practical Joke by Loftus International by Loftus International
* 'Stink Bombs' - Practical Joke by Loftus International by Loftus International
* Bag Balm 10 oz Tin by B&C
* Anti Monkey Butt Baseball Cap Gifted Horse Apparel
Just thought that was kind of odd.

This review was the best:
As a former USMC Arty Scout, I didn't get my hopes up. Tanks only sound comfortable when you've been humpin' it for 30 miles or so... but I live in Portland Oregon (once called Little Beirut by Dubyah) and I needed a vehicle that would support my extreme-left-wing-bumper-sticker removal project.
I had to hire a grant writer to help me fund this project, and after a few months, I realized that there are quite a few charitable organizations that, while wishing to remain anonymous, seem VERY supportive of my long-term goals. Several sent their own bumper stickers (fish symbols and Jesus saves-this-and-that) hoping that my Donk will look like a Nascar vehicle and they'll get to think of themselves as a "Sponsor." I don't have the heart to tell them that counterinsurgency just doesn't work like that. Sigh. I also returned the NRA check. Those guys are way to high-profile. Thanks anyways guys!
After the funds came in we had more than enough for the Donk and so I modded the gearing and suspension with the hopes that I'll be able to get into that cool "drifting" scene that I've heard so much about. Anyway, two weeks ago, we officially started the project, and the Donk came through in fine style.
The basic tactic we've applied has been to "accidentally" rub against cars with bleeding-heart bumper stickers. It works great- the Donk almost seems to purr as it does its job. I'm thinking about rigging an automated airbrush gun to spray "Remember, only YOU can prevent narcisism!" but this might make it hard to claim that the dented and scratched bumpers are an accident if I'm ever caught by the popo.
The Donk is NOT a comfortable ride, but when you're on a mission, comfort is low-priority. Also, I've found that even when car owners hear their alarms and rush out to confront me, after they look at my ride, they usually pull out their cell phones and pretend to answer "a call." I just smile through the louvres and "sorry" though the giggles...

That's hilarious. They should have used a diesel. More torque available (which is what's important, not HP).

Well, see, the weapons are fully customizable and available as factory packages. They want to make sure that your deathmobile is configured how you like it.
It's the Scion of Tanks.

If you guys want some real tanks, you can buy decomissioned and demil'd ones form the Army. They show up on ebay form time to time...but they're a tad more expensive then this. The thing about something that's been"civilianized" is that, in the hands of certian people, the process is EASILY reversable. We haven't gotten rid of any Abrahms yet, but keep an eye out, and in several years you can have your very own!

Also, if you want some recent model (2002) armored fighting vehicles from china. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Armored-vehicle-Archor-2002-4x4_W0QQitemZ250029123856QQihZ015QQcategoryZ80765Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
They claim they can fit the weapons system on with a little "further discussion" and can aquire "large quantities." Oh China, you're too silly.

Now... how does something this big with 6HP get up to 40mph? I think they lied in the stats!
I love how there's 97 reviews too
