Musk himself is a Wankpanzer. (Capitalized, because ... German). Remember how one of the products of his Boring Co. (I do love the name) was a flamethrower? It didn't sell well, not because it was a psychotic idea but because it didn't work very well.
They're so horrible-looking. And I learned from a friend in the auto industry this weekend that they're dangerous, too -- apparently closing the trunk on your fingers will just lop them right off. This has been confirmed with a test using hot dogs 😳.
You know all this obsession with military equipage began after WWII when department stores began carrying planes and humvees, etc. I put some of this in my book. Some of it had to be cut because it was a bit too long--but it's one of the two things I regret cutting. The list of different department stores and the military equipment they carried. It did not include weapons, only vehicles.
I saw one of these monstrosities inching by Union Square as I was coming home in a cab Saturday night! Perhaps the heavy armor was needed because we have so much "protest activity" there these days (although I personally find it easier to avoid this on foot by diverting to 13th Street instead). The cab driver and I were both amazed and he was searching for the name. If only your column had come out last week.

Hah!

And I just remembered they used carrots, not hot dogs.
Holy crap!

Fascinating!

Great article on the "Wankpanzer"! I will now start calling them that.
You didn't ruin the joke for me. Rather, you have inspired a new epithet for me to wield as necessary.
Or just as I see fit!
