I got behind this big boy coming home from work. We both pulled into the gas station. Anyone know what it is?

It is something I would love to own and have on my farm. I've always wanted an old Tank to play with

They are great for Deer and small game. Hit them and clean them in one operation.

I want it to tell people who trespass on my place that doing so is not a good idea

You want to try one of those with the new guided munitions they have. Acuarate to inches. Yes they shoot and scoot pretty quick.

Yep others nailed it. M109 self propelled 155MM artillery gun. Came out in the 60's and is still in the inventory today as the M109A7.
As far as guided munitions? Old school. The laser guided munitions "Copperhead" were in the inventory prior to Desert Storm. The US Army started deploying them in the 1980's. Kind like the laser guided smart bomb. Not new. Some were actually used in the late stages of Vietnam. But then most folks don't know that the heat seeking air to air rocket was adopted about 1959. Just a lot of stuff about weapons and munitions are classified until we are reasonably sure that countries like Russia and China have developed similar stuff or until we have to use it in combat.
Go and look up the history of the proximity fuse used on anti aircraft ammo. Developed in WWII and so secret that it was not allowed to be used where an un-exploded round could fall to the ground and be recovered by the Germans or Japanese.

Self propelled artillery, not as a heavily armored as a tank. They are used in shoot and scoot scenarios, they can fire, and move to a new location before the enemy and send in return fire.
