The hotel we stayed at in Nashville Friday night had a cool little car dealership next to it. Parked behind it was this thing. It looks to be a light tactical vehicle of some sort. I should have got a closer view but it was freezing and I was trying to hurry. Any ideas on what it may be?

It’s a SMART four2... A tactical assaults vehicle for crowded parking spots, often partially occupied by Germans, many of whom are partially responsible for building it.

Ferret?

EDIT: Sm70 beat me to it.

I’m guessing a Ferret?

A smart W450, likely a 2005 or similar. :p

Betcha it’s a Unimog. Looks like one I’ve seen with some kind of digger/backhoe setup.

Maybe he’s getting it ready for paint.

Definitely looks to be one of those.

Definitely looks like one going off the picture from Thomas’ comment.

Yep that’s probably what it is.

I wonder if it’s road legal...
