Tank Museum
There is a private collector in the bay area that owns hundreds of military vehicles ranging from the lowly jeep to a pair of Soviet Scud missile trucks. I had the opportunity to go on a tour yesterday and was blown away by the collection. This guy buys and restores the tanks and keeps them in several warehouse buildings on his property - all of them drive and are de-militarized so there is no firepower, but they appear fully operational to the observer.

So what are those in an enclosed barn? it must have been a trip for his neighbors to see a parade of military vehicles driving through.

It's so rare to see a T-62 with the turret still in place & not on fire.
