  • Wait a minute, this is actually called the volkswagen "thing?"

  • @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!

  • @MrNismoSR20 Also, they were only produced for US import in 1974-75!

  • @dargonkin the canadian military kept those things going until into the 2000's didn't they?

  • @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
