I don't have any bad car stories, but I'm full of bad tank stories. I had one blow a gasket during one gunnery cycle. No major harm, except my gunner wasn't excited about the FRH shower he got. (That's Fire Retardent Hydraulic fluid). We had to hose him down pretty fast after that, it was beginning to burn his skin. The best(worst) part was when my driver and I went down to the boneyard to pick it up after we were told it was fixed. We fired it up, and I grabbed the commander's override to swing the turret around. When I did we experienced a catastrophic failure of our new gasket. Turns out the mechanics didn't have the correct part, but they had one that LOOKED like it, so they had just plugged that one in and never performed a functions check.
