    So, I guess people posting here won't think I'm weird for knowing exactly what a Pinzgaur is?!?!

    I've driven a Pinzgaur. Know where I can buy one, but the price is too steep for a 40 year old vehicle.

    Pinzgauer would be sweet too. Something about the Mog though...

    Off road abilities are just crazy!

    Yeah, pretty hard to justify the purchase. I think that I find one with a snowcutter and tell my wife it is for the driveway....?

    A former neighbor of mine had a Halflinger (sp?) pretty much a shrunken jeep. Air cooled 2 cyl horizontally opposed (half of a VW) engine with 4 speed tranny, Hi/Lo range, solid axles both lockable. I helped with some of the repairs and got to play with it some. It would go almost anywhere but nowhere fast.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haflinger_(vehicle)

    Oh, and he also had a MOG. Halflinger was more fun, in my opinion.

    Watching the passengers heads flop around like rag dolls made my neck cry!
    My neighbors had one with the truck bed.

    I had a nice talk with the Scots chap who shipped this to Newfoundland, making his way across the states to Canyonlands, Utah (pic location), and was headed down the Panamerican highway.

    That is super cool, too!

    Would be good in addition to the Mog!

    No PTO or blower, though. Can't plow the driveway with it . ;)
