Remember the THING?

[Murrmurr]

Based on the Wehrmacht's Kubelwagen. I thought they were cool at the time. Not so now.

I still think they're kind of cool. I wanted one when they were available here, just wasn't a good time for me (broke time).

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of horror movies instead of cars...I was actually thinking of a movie from 2011...

....I usually end up thinking about:

Swamp Thing

I still think they're kind of cool. I wanted one when they were available here, just wasn't a good time for me (broke time).

Well, they are kind of cool. The problem is that I'm not cool anymore.

The Thing was originally built for the West German military

"The Thing" was WWII's German answer to the Jeep, and was used primarily for logistics and support. It could carry four men and most of their gear, and shared many parts with the civilian Beetle, which enabled owners of captured "Things" to keep them running...

The pic gives me an urge to do a caption this thing;
