Remember those mean looking Russian tanks, which pounded along the frozen tundra region? And also along the arid region of Afghanistan during the notorious invasion? Well, a smart alec has converted a Soviet tank into a less scary highway cruiser. The vehicle, which was originally a combat renaissance and a patrol car, was bought by a Moscow based entrepreneur (thanks to liberalization of the Russian economy) and was rodded well to be not recognized by Stalin. Equipped with a multi speaker sound system, GPS navigation, TV, DVD and a periscope, it is a far cry from the soviet years. Funnily, the tank has been registered in road inspection, which means, you can drive a tank to visit your grandma in the peaceful countryside. This is one such vehicle that might make Stalin rise from the dead.

Russian Madman is the perfect term to describe this bloke. Maybe he got a valid point with his purchase, but then, why ruin the charm and spoil the original looks?? Now, don’t tell me this vehicle looks cool; it looks cold, dead cold!
At least, I don’t have the habit of scraping off the scoop before eating my ice cream!
Aneez, tell me where on earth could you possibly find a Soviet tank riding on a highway outside Soviet Russia? Not even in present day Russia. I’m glad it looks ’dead cold’. That is what Russia is like in winter. (Psst... I don’t think the ’Russian Madman’ likes being called that.)
That sure looks ugly!

Well the pimped version does.. I somehow do find the original tanks cool
