NAO Design Badonkadonk
We saw this on Metafilter and had to investigate. A tank selling on Amazon for $20,000? The JL421 Badonkadonk from NAO Design is a "land vehicle and battle tank." The Donk, as it's nicknamed, can carry a crew of five internally or on the roof. It can be piloted from inside the armored shell or through the hatch. The interior is carpeted and has accent lighting and a 400 watt sound system with PA . It can reach speeds up to 40 MPH but the Donk isn't street legal. Each one is made to order by NAO and comes with a Donk T-shirt and a training session. We're not quite sure what you'd use one for, perhaps, some mobile party pod, but it's comforting to know that everything truly is available on Amazon.

Man! That thing looks *totally* Star Wars. I'd love one of those, but even more so if it hovered a few inches off the ground ;-)
