California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants his tank back.
Apparently, he bought an M47 tank from the Austrian army and then lent it to an Ohio military museum in 2000.
Now, concerned about the vehicle's upkeep, Schwarzenegger has asked to have it back. It was shipped out to him last week.
The Guv's plans for the tank? No lie:
...he plans to use it to drive around inner-city children who do well in school, say "no" to drugs and avoid gangs in the Los Angeles area.
Two words: Awe. Some.
