Today my youngest son Kyle and I made a pilgrimage to Tank Town USA located in NW Georgia. Tank Town is operated by Todd Liebross and is on the main Highway just north of Blue Ridge, GA. http://www.tanktownusa.com/ I had read about Tank Town in the local fish wrapper and knew Todd was someone I wanted to meet. He is on Steel Soldiers and when we first spoke on the phone he invited me to come over and check out his operation. Since my son and I usually do one father and son thing a week I thought he would get a kick out of this. He has never been in the military and tolerates my Green Iron Addiction to a point (can't get him to go to a rally). I kept the destination of our trip a secret until we pulled into Tank Town and he realized he had been shanghaied. When he started checking out the vehicles he became a lot more enthusiastic about being there. Todd arrived shortly after we did with a doomed car on a trailer. We helped him get it set up for the death match with the APC that was idling menacingly on the field of battle. Several other folks stopped by to look at the vehicles and ask questions and Todd gave them the nickel tour. While we were waiting for the party that had booked the demolition to arrive Todd let my son drive the APC around the course a few times with me perched atop it shooting pics. This earned me a huge stack of "COOL DAD" points with my son and gave us some great memories. Many thanks to Todd for allowing us to have some fun.![IMG_3943.jpg IMG_3943.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/298/298444-f7c1012901d8f8ca2e6d4c55c4cb708e.jpg)

Photo 1. Kyle inspects ill fated car. 2. These are the APC's that Todd has. There are several variations on site to include a maintenance track, a command track and troop carriers. 3. The obligatory Elmo pic with Todd. 4. Todd instructs Kyle on driving the APC. 5. A flatted car awaits insult added to injury.
