MASON CITY — There was one unstoppable car-squashing tank. “It was pretty nice when that back window exploded,” said Daniel Schnobelen, 15, a Ventura High School student on a field trip with Garner-Hayfield High School’s shop class, after the tank mashed cars in Huber’s back lot.

Military expert Westin Scott heads to Minnesota to learn how to drive a Chieftain Battle Tank and an FV433 Field Artillery Abbot. This probably won't be your typical driving lesson. It'll be much, much more intense.

Update: Wow! The show was great, thank you!

It all started with a little dream…to own a few armored vehicles.
