There is a place in Vegas that will take you to the desert, and let you drive tanks for a fee. And they will sell them if you have money.
A gun store a few mils from my house has fully functional machine guns that you can shoot in full auto mode but it sucks up money at a very raid rate. It would be fun to go blast away with a Ma Deuce. All it takes is some money.
And you have to have a permit to drive in a tank on the streets plus have the rubber pads for the tracks. They are not tagged for street driving.
