Drive A Tank
At more than 3,000 pounds, a Chevy Malibu is a formidable vehicle with a crash-safety test rating of five-stars. But against a 60-ton Chieftain tank, it’s a mere speed bump. That is, if speed bumps came with the sound of crunched steel and shattered glass. Driving a tank that’s the weight of 20 Cadillac Escalades over a junked auto is the “Crush a Car” option of Drive A Tank, the Minnesota facility that offers customers maximal military sensations you’d otherwise have to enlist to experience.

Ferrari Roma Spider
A cursory peek at Ferrari’s newest convertible may belie its country of origin. Without a yellow logo with the rearing horse on its flanks, the Roma Spider’s long, sloped hood and short, tapered tail might evoke a body language that is very British. That rising pair of muscled rear fenders and a driving position behind the car’s centerline may appear like the sultry GTs that Aston Martin, Bentley and Jaguar have made since the 1960s.
