#4 Video said it was the enemy's (recently deceased I assume) car. You don't leave the enemy's equipment in working order to be used again.

#6 You don't leave their equipment but you could sell the car to pay for something. I mean if you're gonna crush them then get a bunch of them together in a line and make a show of it. Charge admission to the Jihadi car smash. Let Iraqi's smash out the windshields first for a tiny fee and take out their frustrations because the Jihadi have killed a lot of Iraqi's. When that is done then the Abrams runs over the whole lot, and then again and again.

Monster truck show Baghdad style.

#9 The tank stopped behind the car, then accellerated over it and stopped again.

That looks to me like they wanted to make sure there wasn't an IED in the car, either it would go off under the tank, or be crushed and disabled, I doubt any Homemade IED would scratch an Abrams.
