Soon cold war buffs with be able to do what they had once imagined: ride a tank through Berlin. A local businessman, Maik Fraustein, is building a mini-tank from East Germany's infamous car – the Trabant. The tank will be painted camouflage green and sport a fake cannon on the roof. Trabant's have long been the butt of jokes for there lack of speed and plastic body, but have developed a cult following in recent years. Tourists will be allowed one shot at the former Berlin Wall with the cannon with live ammunition. OK, I made the last part up.
