guess what I bought!

Its big.. Its ugly.. Its orange.. its... German...

A UNIMOG!!!!

I was driving by and I was like.. wtf a Mog... I was like.. naaah its probably a russian ZIL or something..

I pull up and its a gosh darn mog.. The owner was home and I asked if it was for sale.. He said sure is... I asked how much.. He said.. what do you have on ya.. I said.. an iPod, and close to 2k in my checking account... he's like.. its yours for the iPod and $1500.. apparently he's been trying to sell it since the 80's

I took it for a spin and even though I lack skillz with a manual transmission I got it working in all 6 forward and 2 reverse gears.. Its not a radio truck but a work truck.. with a bed and PTO's front and rear...

I'll get some pics in the morning when the light is better
