The Mercedes Benz UNIMOG

This particular model was commissioned by the Swiss Army in 1970, and was meticulously maintained for 35 years. Every oil change, lube, and flush was recorded in its log book. Earlier this year, the Swiss surplused this unit. It had only 8,000 original miles.

Scott and I didn’t like the name “UNIMOG” though, it didn’t sound cool enough. So we thought for half a day and came up with The P.A.V. (Personal Assault Vehicle).

The P.A.V. is fucking sweet. It has an absurd gear ratio that allows for the climbing of “anything”. And chicks dig it.

As you can see, The P.A.V. is covered in German warnings and instructions. This only adds to the coolness factor. It makes everything look quite official. When The P.A.V. drives around, people get out of the way.

Look out! The P.A.V. is not friendly.
