This is FOR SALE!
I drive past it every day.
I'm not sure how one of our neighbors acquired a military transport type vehicle...but something about it really appeals to me.
I find myself creating some alternate reality where I come up with ways it would be useful to me.
1. I can certainly get ALL of my recycle in the back of it in 1 trip.
2. Camping. (Music in the front, tent in the back)
3. A nice cross between the suburban I now drive and an RV...we can totally do some trips with this.
4. Helping people move.
5. Picking up pine straw.
6. Ok, ok...helping people move.
7. Plenty of room for all the kids karate gear in the back...and their school
8. We could SO be in the Christmas parade with it!
It is camouflaged and a truck...so the boys would love it.
It may be hard to merge into traffic...but I'm thinking people may yield to military vehicles.
It is a nice tribute to JD's military service.
Really...I think about it every day.
And then today I realized
it
is
probably
not
an
automatic.
And I was bummed.
Because even in my alternate universe where I might own a military transport vehicle....I still can't drive a stick shift.
dude! i am totally there with you. i have always wanted a vintage vw (bug, van, don't really mind!) but i can't drive a stick. every time i have tried to learn, it has been...rather disastrous.
remind me to tell you about the distinct lack of automatics in iceland some day.
ps: maybe it should come with a driver. there is plenty of room.

I'll drive for you! :) I learned stick on the ice covered mountains of upstate NY.. and I can parallel park it. Consider that my resume for being your driver.

HI Kelly! I drove an H2 for 2 years (until my family outgrew it...too many kids, not enough seatbelts...). The best part was ALL the kids (including my 16 year old son) loved to get picked up from activities in it! Of course, then my 16 year old son also wanted to borrow it to go to the movies, etc...AND mine WAS an automatic!
