Remeber the Panzer

I remember...
Rain lashing against the windshield, the sound of splattering water droplets, and the humming and thumping of windshield whippers.
I remember...
Hot dry air beating my frost bitten skin, the chilly dashboard, and a forever foggy windshield.
I remember...
The whine of the ignition, the coughing sputter, and then roar of the diesel engine as we lurched forward in a haze of dense black smoke.
I remember...
Chipped gray faded paint, mismatched seat buckles, cracked faded leather seats, and grimy, sooty tire rims.
We remember...
The Panzer.
