I admit it -- I'm a sucker for massive, powerful vehicles, even though I personally only ride a little 250 cc scooter in real life.
Here's a video showing the AVB, a US Marine Corps vehicle based upon an M1 Abrams tank chassis. It's currently being employed in the Marjah offensive in Afghanistan's Taliban-and-opium-rich Helmand province.
The AVB is designed to plow through minefields and IEDs, or blow then up by firing explosive line charges. It also seems well fit for clearing illegally parked cars.
