I just found and old junker tank, made it so it would run, and stuff roughly spherical objects down the gun for ammo.

Price: $0

Well, it's a good thing we're only driving pixels around then eh? It would be a rather expensive addiction the way you put it there Racer :)

At least I have a sponsor to pay for some of it...

Wait, I am the sponsor.. DOH!

Funding possible thx to the ever succesful SA army!

(Ps. Racer, open the scrum ball! U'll find u'r paycheck inside!)

BTW Cadc, I'm making a skin that looks like the tank in your drawing.

Sweet! Good luck with it Racer! I look forward to seeing it complete! ;)

This is gona be good! B)

(Ps. In case any of u'll r wondering what Racer is talking about, Follow this Link! )

I dunno Racer, I pounded yer ass pretty good the other day. I think your "weekly damages" estimate will need to increase this week... :)

I havent played for almost 4 days now, you most likley saw an imposter, I have a few.

With the sheer number of tanks I tend to get through within just 30 minutes of play, I seriously cannot afford to use anything than the default equipment. Laying out $$$ each time for engine, treads, alloys etc would just be too darned expensive even if Bill Gates was sponsoring me.

Storage Fees: $50/month unheated garage

It is rather cheap when your not playing anymore

Yeah Racer its tough!!

I find with a kid now I have to starting making some tough choices. Do I buy the Super Grippy Extra Wide Racing Treads for $600 or do I get that $400 immunization shot. Do I spend the $2500 on the Light Weight Kevlar Armor or deposit it in a Registered Education Fund. I just hope someday cleaning up all the milk-vomit from inside the tank is going to pay off.

But enjoy these grassroots days of Think Tanks while they last; hard working guys and gals sacrificing their spare time for a little bit of glory at the end of the day. Pretty soon the Corporate Big Wigs are going to catch-on and swoop down, slap their names over everything, and start sell tickets at $250 each! When that happens, $21905 won't even buy you a decent set of treads. And of course they will start introducing all these rules & regulations to make it more "safe & family friendly". We'll be lucky if we're still shooting real bullets.

But you'll be able to tell your grandkids; "I remember when..."

COME ON MICROSOFT, SPONSOR ME IN PS 8.0.

Heh, my expenses are free. :) I got Donald Trump to fully sponsor me. :)
