I drive a tracked vehicle for the Army (M270 A1) and I'll tell you "tank drifting" is not hard to do. We call it "powersliding"

If your parents didn't pay taxes, thats $2,000 more to spend on your Xmods, lol.

I've never done it before (probably never will), but I agree with you saying that it isn't hard to do. With a vehicle that powerful and with a large mass+weight, it makes it easy to drift/powerslide with all that momentum.

btw, Sweden = sick! Elin Grindemyr

By the way, that's not Germany, it's northern sweden... Norrboten, I knew it sounded familiar, and just asked mum. Confirmed to be sweden....

Wow. That's kinda cool... Hey, now you can't say anything about Swedish stuff being underpowered... Hm.....

Nice find texan, well, mongo... Finally got to see... Maybe we can get it to shoot fruit too?

Ha! That made my day... Elin Grindemyr? Why do you have a name up?

Hm... Which reminds me... I thought about doing military service in at home for two years after college... With a major in Mechanical Engineering at FAMU, I should be able to get to do that.....

Here's a picture. Search the place, it's in sweden. "Norrbotten" means North "Sumthing", I'm not sure what the "Sumething" is, as a place near our summer house ends with botten, but that's a place were a German (Nazi) Uboat was sunk....
