I think I'll buy one instead of building that new garage. In bad weather I'll just park the S under it

The Unimog has been around Europe for quite sometime. There are also a few in the US. It's not a new design that's
for sure. It has kind of a cult following too. Makes a really good all-terrain camper if you can afford it.

I wouldn't compare one to a Hummer or Excursion, it's
closer to a Ford F550 or F700.

so much for the pic...
