Man parks WWII tank on street drawing patrol ire
Los Angeles resident Abraham Shiepe Jr. plans to drive his 7 ton World War II M20 tank on public roads after obtaining a temporary permit that was later revoked. The armored vehicle, kept in a showy cream paint job with a revolving turret, was auctioned from MGM film props for 2000 dollars. Shiepe jokes about top speed of 65 mph and envisions renting the tank for parades at 100 dollars daily while adding a passenger compartment and amenities.
