And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

British soldiers take a captured Panther Ausf D for a ride in Italy, 1944.
Even though having one here would be impractical because they're difficult to keep in a good state of repair, I must say that parking on in front of the house and cranking the turret and the gun down the road would send a powerful message.
Hook up a battery powered motor to gunner's hand wheel. WiFi connect to a motion sensor on your drive way, along with two cameras for split screen. One camera aimed back at Panther, one aimed to catch faces in vehicle as turret rotates, all played live on your TV screen.
