They're so ugly to me.

Anything with that teardrop shape is immediately out of my purchasing decision matrix.

I like boxy vehicles and sharp angles you could cut yourself on. The Toyota FJ Cruiser. The new Ford Bronco. The new Land Cruiser FJ.

The original DeLorean DMC-12 speaks to me. The Ferrari F40. The Corvette C8.

The Unimog. FMTV trucks.

Nothing that looks like a dollop of sour cream or a tear drop breast implant is ever going to appeal to me. Aerodynamics be damned.

I love the look of Unimogs and FMTVs.

I was seriously thinking about looking into finding a surplus FMTV until I realized just how loud and uncomfortable they probably are. Sure, that can be fixed, but I have enough projects.
