......when you can buy a M-18 Hellcat instead.

If some guy is lollygagging and slowing down your commute, you have the solution.  :D :D

     Not really sure you could make it road legal anyway.  Are those rubber padded tracks? 
I know the little Sdkw 251s that the reenactors use can't be driven on surface streets because
their tracks tear up the pavement.  That halftrack is alot lighter than a Hellcat.

     I was reading a book years ago about the US Army doing the trials for the M1 Abhrams tank.
Late on night the officer in charge of the test unit gets a call from the MPs.  They have 2 tank
crews in custody by the range.  So he goes down there and sure enough, 2 tanks on the side of
the road with a little M151 MP jeep with the blue lights on.  It turns out that the tanks were pulled
over for speeding...45 in a 25mph zone  :D   I believe this was at Fort Knox..but it was decades
ago that I read the book and my memory ain't what it used to be.
