Someone at work has a badass daily drive. Anyone know what this is, exactly?

That's what we'd call a Gas-b-Gone 3000. Cool for sure, looks like some WWII ATV but I don't recognize it at all. Maybe it was just custom built that way on a Jeep chassis or something.

They have been popular with private collectors due to the compact size and affordable price e.g. around $10,000 to $15,000 in the USA.

Nice! Thanks. Heh, I searched for the number 32BA96 and I got the "Ferret registry," figured it was something else.

I'd say you could look at the way it's built, the underneath, the wheels ect and know it's not just a jeep chassis

Maybe not, but it was made by Daimler. Isn't that the same thing as Jeep-Chrysler-Daimler?

Nope. There's a bunch of spin offs, merges and reincorporations from various companies associated with the names Daimler, Chrysler, Mercedes and Benz, and after three minutes of trying to understand it on Wikipedia I said "**** it"

You can get one of these for like 6 grand http://www.clarktruck.com/international/trucks.cfm?step=2&listid=7

It's pretty much the manliest truck available to the average consumer.

I bet it's hotter than **** in there in the summer. (the Ferret) I want one anyway.

And I guess parking brakes are not optional.
