The 'Live Fast Die Young' tank by Cardbox Studios might not offer the most sound advice, but it sure does sound like fun. In fact, living dangerously has never sounded so appealing.
Though I'm not entirely sure where the phrase originated, 'Live Fast Die Young' has become the ubiquitous mantra (and indeed, the cardinal rule) for angsty, rebellious youths everywhere. If you needed more proof of this, you only have to look to the Rick Ross' track of the same name, where Kanye West raps about living recklessly for the rest of his presumed-to-be-short life.
Kids everywhere can now emblazon the universally-accepted slogan on their chests with this tank, which also features a cheeky set of skeleton hands fashioned in the 'Rock On' symbol. This is the perfection fashion statement for those with a devil-may-care attitude.
