I eventually settled for a deuce-and-a-half, which caused enough struggle and frustration that I'm glad I never actually bought a tank.

What was frustrating about it? From time to time your exact plan sounded appealing to me.

  If we're talking actual functional tanks, then they're expensive as shit to buy, and expensive as shit to drive.

  The conventional wisdom is that you need to buy several military vehicles in order to get and keep one up and running. Some things are going to come broken, some things will inevitably break, and the replacement parts aren't exactly at your local auto parts shop.

There is a market to buy a tank that originally cost $10m for $10k. You can drive it round fields and crush stuff for YouTube content. I think there is a much smaller market for people wanting to pay the new price
