    In the future, just report it using the "Report" feature and we'll bring out the nukes.

    I think the old 2010 Tiger got weary after it ran into new Woods and crashed into various substances it encountered there.

    Had to turn the first few words around, though, it's more like "We congratulate you, InsaneApache, with ..."

    It's a cosmetic update to the old 1944 version. Apparently, they've got quite a few around Kursk, and decided to slap on a bit of chrome and go-faster stripes.

    I've been getting spam like this for months, although the number isn't huge. Reported them all but still get them.
