Just put a slow-moving vehicle sign on this, and it's good to go. Will Foster made a half scale Panzer tank for playing paintball. He recycled a broken generator he got from his part time job, and turned it into this. He drives it around his parents neighborhood, obviously scaring the locals. Via Geekologie.
