Tanks-A-Lot
<p> What do you get if you take a used armored vehicle and add a few kitchen appliances to it? Something like the "<a href="http://www.tanklimo.com/" rel="nofollow">Tank Limo</a>," perhaps.</p> <p> It may be billed as a limousine, but it's kind of a cross between a <span section="shortcodeLink"><a href="/news/fire-up-the-chimney-in-your-hummer/" rel="follow" class="c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active"><span>chimney-equipped Hummer</span></a></span> and the "<span section="shortcodeLink"><a href="/news/a-tank-to-fulfill-your-mad-max-fantasies/" rel="follow" class="c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active"><span>Donk</span></a></span>," with a little bit of <i><span section="shortcodeLink"><a href="/news/real-life-halo-vehicle/" rel="follow" class="c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active"><span>Halo</span></a></span></i> thrown in--hardly competition for the new Rolls <span section="shortcodeLink"><a href="/news/slide-show-roundup-rolls-royce-phantom-10-pretty-cars-and-youtube-on-apple-tv/" rel="follow" class="c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active"><span>Phantom</span></a></span>, it might even take a back seat to the <span section="shortcodeLink"><a href="/news/your-daily-dose-of-obnoxiousness-mini-cooper-limo-with-whirlpool/" rel="follow" class="c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active"><span>Whirlpool-equipped Mini Cooper</span></a></span> (Maxi Cooper?) where luxury is concerned, anyway. (Red Ferret does say, however, that the Tank will be getting a Jacuzzi.)</p> <figure class="c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-medium c-shortcodeImage-pullLeft"><div class="c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer"><!----> <div class="c-cmsImage c-shortcodeImage_image"><picture class="c-cmsImage_image"><source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/84bf745511da6d5170e1e318da249a9b9ebbfea0/hub/2007/07/24/3f5a9335-f4d7-11e2-8c7c-d4ae52e62bcc/tanklimoinside.jpg?auto=webp&width=768" alt><source media="(max-width: 1023px)" srcset="https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/84bf745511da6d5170e1e318da249a9b9ebbfea0/hub/2007/07/24/3f5a9335-f4d7-11e2-8c7c-d4ae52e62bcc/tanklimoinside.jpg?auto=webp&width=768" alt><source media="(max-width: 1440px)" srcset="https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/84bf745511da6d5170e1e318da249a9b9ebbfea0/hub/2007/07/24/3f5a9335-f4d7-11e2-8c7c-d4ae52e62bcc/tanklimoinside.jpg?auto=webp&width=768" alt> <img src alt height="306" width="768" loading="lazy"> <noscript><img src="https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/84bf745511da6d5170e1e318da249a9b9ebbfea0/hub/2007/07/24/3f5a9335-f4d7-11e2-8c7c-d4ae52e62bcc/tanklimoinside.jpg?auto=webp&width=768" alt height="306" width="768"></noscript></picture></div> <!----> <!----></div> <figcaption><!----> <span class="c-shortcodeImage_credit g-inner-spacing-right-small g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall g-color-text-meta g-text-xxxsmall">Tanks-A-Lot</span></figcaption></figure> <p> Its own <a href="http://www.redferret.net/?p=9053" rel="nofollow">description</a> says it all: "Chopped a few windows in the side, fitted smoked-glass fridge, twin DVDs, reversing cameras, completely retrimmed the interior. We found the Army had left the massive diesel-powered crew heater in one of the 432s so we threw that in as well." It doesn't exactly scream Trump.</p> <p> So why does cost $2,200 to $5,500 per night to rent? It may depend on who's using it. If <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/24/lohan.arrest/" rel="nofollow">Lindsay Lohan</a> is involved, it may not be a bad investment.</p>
