0.93 min. | 5.0 user rating		 One of the vehicles we had to move out of the museum recently to accomodate one of our fundraising events was the M47 Patton Tank. After about four minutes of priming, the ole' gal cranked up and took a brief spin in the parking lot. She had a little something to say at the end though. The move took both team work and ingenuity. After all, it wasn't just about navigating the cars in the parking lot, but also the MiG 21 supersonic jet parked in the center. Remember, the Patton (like all tanks) does not come equipped with rear view mirrors. Watch!
