RSSModel Panzer tank is made from a generator
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.

Where did that come from? Street legal??? Nope, not without a VIN, DOT requirements (list as long as your arm) for motor vehicle, legal vehicle registration... and the list goes on...

When he got out of the tank at the end and pulled out his keys I thought he was going to turn on a car alarm of some kind. That would have made my day.

Well, the reason tractors are legal on the street, is that 99.9% of the time they are off road, but .1% of the time they need to road them to a field or ajacent farm, or in town to service. Registration is dis-allowed for this occasional WORKING NEED.
Joyriding isn't a need. You'd get ticketed for joyriding a tractor in the streets, as well as this. Trust me, I have law enforcement in my family, AND I live in Wisconsin.

...is this tank in Wisconsin?
Otherwise I would say your "expertise" is pretty invalid unless you are a traffic lawyer/judge.
In Pennsylvania there are all kinds of slow moving vehicle classifications, based on the Amish not using fast vehicles.
