Plus they look cool. Don't laugh. They don't look nasty like tanks do, so we aren't seen as being "aggressive".

Don, are you aware that at least one of our Ontario Armoured Corps militia units has been stripped of their Grizzlys and is being re-equipped with... wait for it... hold on... ATVs?

A famous armoured regiment, reduced to riding toys to fulfil their "armoured recce" function. Gawdalmighty.
