I like how people who have screen names that have some sort of car reference in them are commenting on here like theyve never seen one of these. wtf I dont even care about cars, I was linked here from a hiking video and I know more about this car than car enthusiasts.
@smoothjamskillmoure lol true. weird thing is , people that cannot drive manual transmission vehicles come to a vehicle with a manual that is EASY to learn
@MrNismoSR20 yes mr. playstation gran turismo player. it doesn't go super fast and it probably doesn't drift that well, and vin diesel probably won't drive one in the next fast and furious movie. sorry.
@MrNismoSR20 Its proper nomenclature is the Type 181. It is based on the design of the German Kublewagon of WW II. It was also referred to as the Safari. Awesome lil car that wasnt much for comforts, but would go anywhere!
@somewhatlongdong Yes right up until they tried to use them in afganistan and discovered soldiers get killed in unarmored vehicles in war situations. They were replaced with the G-wagon
its bassically vw beetle but cause hitler desingned the beetle we know and love using some of the same parts vw tryed to make one of there own but it failed to be as famous as the beetle

15 inch wheels makes it a bastard of sorts, I suppose that was to make room for disc brakes which is a further bastardization.
