last week i got the pleasure of driving an old russian military tank. Now I'm not one for violence or war, but the thought of driving a tank really interests me. so I'm glad that Jocelyn was able to help make this happen for us. we both got to check another thing of our lists.




just a few tanks lying around

a typical day at the gas station
inside the gunnery
me inside, driving the tank
me inside, driving the tank
no hands!!!!
after my drive, what a ball
bang bang, shooter
me and the guy we referred to as "the belly"
just loungin'
completely inappropriate
it's coming right for us

wheels on the tank go round and round

  3. That's awesome! My little brother was a tank driver in the military for 4 years. It's a tight fit in those things, but super cool! :)
