Fuel Efficiency vs. Firepower

Does someone else always get your favorite parking space?  Do other drivers cut you off in traffic?  Does your current vehicle leave you feeling unsafe?  Is the neighborhood association threatening military action because your grass is a 1/4" too high?  If you answered yes to any of the above, have I got a deal for you. 

Hop on over to the Hemmings blog for all the specs on this beautiful 1944 Sherman M4A2E8.  Granted, it is not the most fuel efficient transport available, but you will not have to worry about unintended acceleration, accidental airbag deployment or heavy machine gun fire.
