    Drove an Abrams for 3 years. The first time was an absolute rush. Keep up the great channel content. Remember it’s all fun until you throw a track
  • @harrypalmer728
    You looked like a kid in a candy shop while driving that StuG

    Greetings from Germany. Thank you for this wonderfull Video. Its nice to see, that you americans give so much love in our old Tanks.
  • @badcallsign4204
    I lost steering in an MLRS once out in the field. It was a steering linkage bolt, so I know just what that’s like. 👍
  • @dryshaved8684
    Reaction from the person at the drive thru would be priceless

    "The ATF made me cut it. Those guys are jerks." Indeed. ATF should be a store not a government agency.
  • My first AFV was an M60A1. I think my smile was as big as yours (and it never got old, no matter how many times I drove).

    Tank commander guy: it's hard to flip a stug cause it's so low Sofilein: hold my beer!!!
  • It is good to see that some people can fulfil their dreams and have the possibility to drive such a tank!!! Simply excellent!👍👍👍
  • @janstan8407
    WOW!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU COULD DO THAT! Stug lll's will always be among my favorite German armor. I lived in South Texas for 2 1/2 years and the summer was around 110-115 F the time I was there. Then I lived in Austin, and it was 5 to 10 degrees "cooler in the summer. You have to "grow" into it.
  • @whpruitt1
    This was definitely worth the wait, Sofi! Thank you so much for sharing your adventure
  • Love StuG 111s, built many models of them, so cool to see one driving - Thanks Sofi!
  • @abelincoln95
    First instructions- "We had to connect up the drives opposite, so left is right & right is left". Sofi nails it to failure!! LOL!!!
  • @alberta1st
    Thank you so much Good Drive Ms Sofi!! 😍😉👍👋
  • @Robin6512
    The smile says it all! And you are probably the best looking stug driver ever!
  • @michaelb7197
    Greatly appreciate the efforts of everyone keeping history alive, good health to you all, thanks Soph.
  • @RawPower7
    The StuG have been my favourite AFV for many years, this was fun to watch. Nice panzer wrap you are wearing!
