I thought it was expected that if you park in bike lanes, the bike riders etch creative designs in your car with their keys

That's a BTR-60PB not a tank. You can mistake a BMP for a tank but this thing has wheels!

Not sure if I should be amazed or terrified I do know I would not vote for him if he got my car.

Even if it is staged for an ad campaign, you know the dude who owned that car would have the hardest time explaining it to the insurance company.

"Yeah, my car was just destroyed by a tank. I think the mayor was driving it!"

I'm torn here.

On the one hand, that is awesome. And I'd say running over cars in a tank is something that I would love to do. It just looks fun. And these people are breaking the law. So...

On the other hand, I'd be pissed if the city crushed my car because I was parked illegally. And honestly, it seems far out of proportion to the actual "crime". It's like using a flame thrower to trim your hedges.

Gotta be staged, though. No one would calmly accept their car being crushed like that.
It is staged.

But I disagree with the proportion being out of whack.

If more cars got crushed in California I think we'd finally see some sensible drivers.

If only because they'd be the only ones left with cars ;D.

I have to say that if this were real, mayor tank here would be brutally murdered and strung up on a light pole, especially in that area of the world, European bad guys don't fuck around especially Russian bad guys

Just more proof that cyclists don't care about anyone but themselves. Maybe I'd be a little more sympathetic if they actually used the bike lanes.

Fitting. The car drivers think they can bully out the cyclists with larger vehicles? Let's see how they like it.

Got to agree with you here. I feel that despite the guy being parked illegally running over the car with a tank would break far far to many laws for it to be real.
I was also thinking that I wouldn't care if you were the President, if you crushed my car with a tank for any reason, I'd be punching you in your face. I'd be unhappy to say the least.

He should meet the mayor of Toronto. He would stop the war on cars.

I think that is an Armored personal carrier not a tank. Same concept less gun.

Edit: Yeah APC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armoured_personnel_carrier too lazy to find them model.
Exactly. That's what I was going to say

Anyway, that's pretty awesome. Now... if he actually used a tank...

Wow.

I think this rings true: "Genius and madness are two sides of the same coin"

It's funny if nothing else.

EDIT: I guess we should tank them for this funny video.
Your punishment would probably have the same effect on the drivers.

Most do. The ones that don't are the much better cyclists who a). will be hugely slowed down by slower cyclists, and due to lack of room, can't overtake, and b). don't want to get a car door opened in their face because of a motorist not caring to look out for anything once they're parked

Funny but stupid. Because the mayor has to pay the car owner using the tax money of the public.

Why is it that Europe has bad-ass motherfuckers like this and the USA has a bunch of corrupted morons who are only interested in helping the rich get richer?

We need crazy people like this!

whats even more amazing is that it happened in my country for once!
i think he used APC and not a tank because oru country doesnt have Tanks though....
and the car problem here is awful. people park whereever they want and NOONE cares. police parks illegally too. pretty much the ONLY driving law police holds up is speeding. else - do whatever you want.
