Avalanche Bigger Than A Tank?

[otisboy]

Today I went to Camp Pendelton (Marine Corps Base) to tour my old stomping grounds and took a few pics. ?Check out my AV next to a Tank and you'll notice that the tank is wider but not that much longer or taller than my AV.

No trick photo, take a close look, the tank is behind my Avalanche.

It's the perspevtive of your picture.

The bed of your truck looks to be about 3/4 of the length of the cargo container in the background.

You may be right about the size comparison.
What the tank lacks in size you know for sure it more than makes up for in firepower.

What's more important though was the photo op presented to you. Hope you took lots of pics from different angles. It is not everyday when an AV gets that close to a tank!

Well the tank does have some neat mods like the flap up sunroof, the big gun and the cool AT tracks

Put a turret on top of the Av and then it will be easily the same size.

I don't think you want to meet that thing in a dalk alley.

It looks like the Av got a turret in the second pic!

Thats a keeper. Roadrunner's gonna get a new updated Av with a turret in the war against the coyote. Time to update my sig.

The tank looks like a old Soviet T-72 captured from the Iraqis in Desert Storm I.

The Marines had to move quickly to capture it because most of them blew up before they could get that close!
