This is the vehicle that I wish could get funded, and then be purchasable in the United States - but I doubt that will ever happen: http://oxgvt.com/ http://ox

  >The only vehicle I'd like to own more than that one is a re-release of the M274 Mule Ah, the military golf cart. I'm sure you can get a used one? Also you might be interested in its direct Soviet counterpart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LuAZ-967 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LuAZ-967 (or the civilian variants like 1302)

  For the Mule: "The driver's seat could be removed and the steering column moved forward and the vehicle driven in reverse to accommodate more cargo. If under fire the steering column could be moved farther forward and down, so the operator could operate the vehicle while crawling behind it." That's a really cool bit of design! The minimalist make-do-with-what-you've-got philosophy is so different from today's ways of designing military gear.
