You can grumble and moan that it's only got ninety horsepower, but that doesn't stop the Volvo Bandvagn 202 from being irrepressably awesome. First of all, it's Swedish. Secondly, it's steered by hydraulic rams that bend the vehicle in the middle. Thirdly, it exhibits less ground pressure than Sven Schmoe on a pair of Rossignols. And lastly, and most importantly, the goldurned contraption is fully amphibious! Although it went out of production in '81 and has since been replaced in service by the Hägglunds Bandvagn 206, the 202 is the obvious choice for the go-anywhere man who appreciates modern girls and modern rock 'n' roll.
