I'm guessing that we just dropped off the scrap metal wherever we wanted.

I bid $100 for the whole lot of em. I'm sure I could make 3 or 4 good ones from the junk there and have some drunken parking lot demo derbies at night with the boys.

the A1 Abrams weighs 68tons.... so figure 136000lbs... x .03 that's 4,080 per tank. in just scrap metal... over 15k in that pic alone... but not quite 100k... though I'm sure if they zoomed out you'd have over 100k...

Those appear to be "spent" Russian T-72 tanks:




Popular in the middle east and old Eastern Block nations.
