Funny that you mention that! Long before I developed any mechanical inclination or interest in cars, I did in fact bend the accelerator on my first car, a squarebody Suburban.
My local Pickles (who does all the weird ex-lease/government/army fleet divestment auctions) is flogging off a Centurion tank - AKA the best tank of the post-WWII era.
