It's all fun and games until someone loses a spleen.

This reminds me of a story from back home in NZ a few years back.

A chap's wife down in rural South Island bought her husband a tank for either his birthday or Christmas. They had it on the news, he was tickled pink with it and roared all over the place with it. Was rather funny as not long after he got it, the police came round and said it was probably best to leave it at home if he was going down to the pub!

They had a follow up a year or two later and he was still driving the thing everywhere like mad.

Hard to imagine that there is such a vehicle that make a HUMVEE look like a fuel efficient street car

This is a fairly old idea. There have been many people on the internets who have created drivable scale tanks for paintball, in fact both German and American tanks are reproduced. There was even a site that sold them.

I still do a bit of platic modeling myself. Just sold off most of my collection though.
