The next time some obnoxious jerk in a Hummer or Escalade cuts you off as if they owned the road, perhaps you should consider the move taken by Joachim Schoeneich of Neu Anspach Germany. He has decided that a British Army surplus Fox FV721 makes the perfect family grocery getter, and has even fitted a kiddie seat so two year old son Paul can come along for the ride.
While most reports are incorrectly calling it a tank, the Fox is really an armored reconnaissance vehicle, with huge tires rather than the tracks of an actual tank. The overall size is not too unreasonable either, being narrower than a Hummer H1, and shorter than a regular Chrysler 300 sedan. Shoeneich says it's tricky to maneuver, especially with it's non functioning gun sticking out and lousy outward visibility. Still, I suppose nobody's going to argue with you over that last parking spot.
Perhaps Schoeneich should also consider some alternate wheels for once he gets inside the store.

Whereever did they get the armored car? And do they have a license to drive that thing on public roads?

Is there even such thing as an UN-armored tank?

I'd like to check out their mapquest records. Possible destinations like Paris, Dunkirk (with shortest routes to the beaches this time)? Will they avoid the Ardennes?
