Anyway, If I were to recover that thing and put it down around 3rd base, it would cover about as much ground as Joe West covers out there.
PS If you are wondering about the tank's fate, my little sister poured a bucket of sand into its gears in a completely uncalled for act of vicious sibling rivalry and my poor tank ground to a halt, never to move again.
