Tank: drive down the LA highways during rush hour (or hours as it seems) while taking a nap and aimlessly running over whatever the hell happened to be in the way

Battle Mech: Beat up the Statue of Liberty

I'dd take it for a spin on the Nurnberg ring, let's see if I can get this baby round under 10 minutes :)

[Psst... it's Nürburgring... please write the name of my faourite course correctly ;)]

Tank: Do a burnout on the most-frequented crossing in the city.

Mech: Do the Optimus Prime Dance routine.

Tank: sell it on Ebay.

Battlemech: sell it on Ebay. To terrorists.

LMAO. I can see Osama Bin Laden doing his next video from the inside of a BattleMech, as he pulverizes rocks for show.

All thanks to Jex... THANKS MAN.....

Tosh: the course you and Arash speak of is the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and there is no way in HELL a tank would lap it in 10 minutes.

DAMN YOU JEX!!!

Now we gotta hope that Bush can build another Mech before Osama figures out how to get over here... Thank God for illiterate leaders... :-/

The moron would probably claim the Mech is an affront to Mohammed and have it destroyed.

Tank: I would refit it with Airsoft guns and have a Airsoft game of a lifetime. >:D

Mech: Sell it, and buy a 30 ton mech and pocket the difference. :)

Cunjo, the Nürburgring does not only consist of the Nordschleife, there's also the Grand Prix course. And that could very well be done in 10' by a tank, seeing the longest version 5.148 km. Course width should be sufficient with 10m at the narrowest part.

man, beat me to death, I was allways under the impression that it was the Nurnberg ring, and that it lay in Nurnberg. Nurburg is actually a lot closer to home for me, I'm driving over next weekend, no doubt!!

The under 10 minutes lap was some sort of a joke kinda thing for the people who watch Top Gear. http://www.topgear.com/content/timetoburn/sections/videos/18/broadband.html

That's kind of pointless, but would look funny, I bet...

Kind of like in-line skates.

Why not join an F1 race as a "surprise", and lap the opposite way?

Yes, I know. That was my point.

The Nordschleife is the course referred to (as it was pretty obvious that they weren't challenging to run the Grand Prix course in 10')

Mapping it in google earth is more fun though...

UD: nice...

If I had a tank, I would put a bumper sticker on the back that says, I shoot tailgaters.

heh

You could park it in a mall parking lot and complain bitterly to mall security that somebody keyed your paintjob.

You could attempt to park it in a parking garage, get it hopelessly lodged in the entrance, and then engage in a circular rant about how if they are going to post the maximum height then they must post the maximum WIDTH so that such things wouldn't happen to innocent motorists.

Bring it to the pier and park it in line to board the auto ferry.

"I would put a bumper sticker on the back that says, I shoot tailgaters."

Forget the bumper sticker - just swivel the turret around and angle it so anything within 50 ft is in line with the barrel...

Take care of those fools who use their highbeams incorrectly.
