Choose from Three Options

Each driving experience begins with an informational bonanza that covers the history of wartime vehicles such as the FV433 Abbot SPG, a self-propelled gun vehicle. After a safety-and-familiarization course, participants ride in a military loop transport truck to the hidden field-command headquarters. There, they receive driving instruction, and hop into an armored FV433 for one lap around a wooded course. Next, they ride back to the training facility to participate in firearm safety training and fire a fully automatic machine gun at the indoor range while an instructor stands ready to assist. Check Drive A Tank's schedule here.

Drive A Tank

Drive A Tank teaches civilians how to handle tanks by placing them at the controls of an FV433 Abbot tank. Comprehensive tank experiences include lessons on the history of its use, from World War I up to its present function as the vehicle of choice for the most aggressive holiday shoppers. During certain packages, tanksters complete their militaristic forays by test firing WWII-era weaponry or crushing cars beneath behemoth treads.

The Groupon Guide to: DVD Commentary Reveals

DVD commentaries can be fonts of behind-the-scenes trivia about all your favorite flicks. What are some secrets we learned from watching the special features?

  • Only half the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were real dinosaurs.
  • Robert De Niro is a joy to work with, really gets to know everyone on set.
  • The reason there are so many Batman movies is because the mask lets producers cast interchangeable nonunion stuntmen that are cheap and easy to knock around.
  • Marty Scorsese is a joy to work with, takes time to get to know people.
  • The special effects in Toy Story were done with computers.
  • Claymation skeletons are a joy to work with, spend a lot of time sword fighting folks during breaks.
  • Star Wars is based on a true trilogy.
