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

DON, You LUCKY Man! Can't wait to see your pictures. You can educate me on these things. Where are you gonna put the bbq, missles and machine guns? Perfect Urban Vehicle. Oh yeah, what's the fuel mileage? Is it a Diesel?

Very cool!

I think you need to go out and embarrass a Hummer or two!

That's ok....we have time, and can take turns. Maybe even make a little obstacle course, and drive over junkyard Yugos.
