Saw my first...
School had just ended and I was driving down a congested drop off area and saw a red, tires taller than my 300e, truck whoring the road. Being my pretentious self I started complaining as it approached because I had to steer a little to the right. Soon after that my friend pointed out that that truck was a Mercedes (she knows I'm a fan...) and after squinting a bit I read UNIMOG above a three pointed star.
She asked what it was, and all I could manage to get out of my mouth was 'a unimog is...well, a unimog' couldn't really provide a definition, they just are? Thought I'd share; it made my day.

Their cool. We went wheeling with a Unimog group in G. Its was awesome, as nothing could stop them... Other than small places.

I see them once in awhile. Most recently in the teachers parking lot at my school.

I used to see hundreds of them when I was in the army back in South Africa. The standard SA Army troop carrier called the "Buffel", or Buffalo in English was a modified Unimog.

to the OP
Call it a cross between a truck and a tractor. I thought really hard for a while about getting one to plow my snow with....but after reflection I happened one day to see one in person and realized that there was a good chance of hurting my self falling out of it! The cab is really high off the ground!
