    M113 (see here: [en.wikipedia.org]). I had one as a "daily driver" as part of my military training in Switzerland. Due to (obvious) space constrains, most of our driving was done on, open, public roads. It is surprisingly comfortable to drive and turns on a dime. Its 1l/km (2.3MPG) diesel consumption is not very attractive though... #qotd

    Tough choice. I'd probably need something fast, with lots of guns (I live in a rough part of town). And something easy to fix, can go across any terrain (potholes suck), fjord water (flooding is always a possibility) and lots of room for Vodka. I've got the perfect choice. The BTR-80, Mother Russia's finest.

    Jeep J8. Yeah, prior to this past year it would be a UniMog or a whole host of other vehicles. However, I would genuinely purchase one of these if they were available at the right price. #qotd

    I, myself, would like an M270A1. Really, it's for selfless reasons.
    "There's an overturned tractor-trailer causing this traffic jam you say? What, a little ways up the road? Give me a minute and I should have it thoroughly cleared out."

    Yes, it would be all about helping forge a clear path for my fellow motorists. #qotd

    Back in the mid-1970s, my dad, who worked for a military contractor, got in on a bid to purchase a bunch of surplus, unused military 1944 Willys Jeeps that were still in factory crates packed in grease. Supposedly all that was needed to make these Jeeps roadworthy were tires and batteries. His $500 bid was for four Jeeps - one for himself and one for each of his three sons. Sadly, the deal fell through - I could have had a brand-new 1944 Jeep. The one that got away...

    Anyway, lots of good suggestions here. How about a 1942 VW Type 87 Kommandeurwagen? Basically a 4WD Kubelwagen with a Beetle body on top. #qotd

    the old M-50 Ontos. Small fast tracked tank destroyer with 6 106mm Recoilless Rifles. not only can I blast the slow person infront of me but I can also flame broil the guy tailgating me with the 30 foot jet of fire that comes out the back of the rifles. #qotd

    A Jeep or a Humvee would probably be better suited for daily driver use, but with all due respect to the US military, my choice for a daily driver is not from the US. It is the Daimler Ferret. #qotd

    Tough choice. I'd probably go for a 4x4 Pinzgauer, with an older Gelaendewagen (300GD, please) as my second choice. #qotd
