The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Buying a new one is the fastest most efficient way to make a tank have all the cosmetic benefits of a new tank without the time lost on making a ratty tank look like a new tank.  Best $200 bucks I could spend.

Love the Ferris Bueller reference by the way.

THE '89 250 TANK WAS SMALLER AND SLIMMER THAN THE 500 TANKS. So curious as to what this clark tank would be ....
