We have got to find out more about this incredible six-wheeled Suzuki Samurai posted for sale on Craigslist in Lansing, Michigan. According to the seller, it's diesel-powered and operates with hydrostatic drive so all wheels are powered — somewhat reminiscent of an Argo 6x6.

The man has been charged with attempted theft, vandalism and wing-nuttery. If only he'd have tried to buy a car from this guy in Texas. – Matt Hardigree More »
