    Tits on a bull.


    Unless it's fully uparmored, and the back seat is filled with underage eastern european blondes wearing only fur coats.

    That actually looks pretty awesome. Not too "pimpy," instead like it could murder me in my sleep. Nice!

    Unless he's got a really, really rugged delivery route, I would think that the florist would be better served by an E Klasse Touring 4matic (the one with the trick slide-out load floor in the rear).


    That being said, perhaps he wanted to use the G-Wagon after-hours as a ride to his Leather-and-Levi club get-togethers...

    See my sig.


    The G is one of my all time favorite cars. cSee several special versions below. There is also a 6 wheel version somewhere, but I cant find a picture right now.



    G-Class "Grizzly"





    And some random pictures

    @ptmeyer84 - Now with more fatherness!: I agree with that statement. The G-Cabs go for a very un-Geo like $100k+, which I think is way too expensive.

    The 1st-gen G-wagen is probably the ultimate combination of everything Mercedes-Benz used to do right -- unparalleled off-road capability, brick-shithouse reliability, and it's so-ugly-it's-cute!

    I'd definitely rock the panel version in the lead picture if it had the OM617 5-cylinder diesel. Then I could start my own delivery business: Bruce Express.

    @Tomsk is all about Murlopnik weekends!: I agree. The windowless, two door panel is the tastiest of the bunch, with so much of what makes the G-wagen cool, and none of what makes us roll our eyes.

    I see G-Wagens carrying kids to soccer practice sometimes, and it makes me sad inside. Mercedes spent all that time designing an uber-ute, and then some tool buys one for his wife so that she can pretend their family is a NATO special ops team.

    I'm quite close to a Canadian Forces base, so I see G-wagens all the time. They just look... right somehow, in full military garb. Like they're happy trucks, because that's what they were fucking made for, not for ferrying around a bleach-blonde trophy wife with synthetic breasts.

    @Gearhead_42: @SlowMo: Fair enough, point taken. I, too, would like to have both.


    I just don't want the G-wagen to be allowed to be driven by the trophy-wife. It's a fucking military vehicle. It belongs in the middle of fucking nowhere, pulling itself out of bogs with a winch, not parked outside of a nail salon.
