I haven't seen this mentioned here (apologies if this is a repeat).
But anyway, the Hamster has a new TV show called, “Richard Hammond’s Crash Course.”

~Info Link Here~

According to the link, Mr. Hammond.......enjoyed the crushing of a 1979 Porsche 928, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle and a 1968 Ford Mustang with the Abrams tank. And there was particular satisfaction in destroying minivans during filming of “Crash Course” — a total of 15 across the episodes.

He crushed a Chevelle, Mustang, and a 928? Uh, that's not good...

That Abrahms weighs in at 61 tons, why stop at minivans?

Ummm...let me get this straight. All this show is about is crushing cars with an Abrams tank? How many times can someone watch that? Once for me to see that it is possible then no more after that. Like it can't do it again after it did it once? And anyway, anyone don't think a tank can run over a car? Like it hasn't been done before. No thanks, I'll pass. Another sensationalized so-called reality show. Don't we have, like I don't know, way too many of these now?

{Rant off} That felt good to get off my back.

they do a lot of the same things over and over on that other show he is on- how many times can you watch 3 middle aged millionaires do wacky things with ragged 25 year old cars that are modified in strange ways?

wacky things and modified in strange ways leaves quite the field of possibilities in all honesty.

"wacky things" and "modified in strange ways" leaves quite the field of possibilities in all honesty.

"smashing cars with a tank" also has a lot of potential fun variations..

Make it "smashing tanks with an L-2350" and I might watch.
