The Rules: Must have one vehicle designated specifically for the following categories— mountains, water, snow, sand, and pavement. Must be more than 25 years old. Must be weird.
1. Mountains
Pinzgauer 6x6 because I went zip-lining this weekend and they took us up in one. I must have one now...
2. Water
Amphicar, because Amphicar.
3. Snow
Any Old Tractor Half-track, because half-track.
4. Sand
Meyers Manx, no explanation necessary.
5. Road
Maserati Merak because it had these buttresses long before the new Ford GT.

Mountains: Steyr Haflinger or MUTT
Water: I’m working on it.
Snow: Universal Carrier or Studebaker Weasel snow version.
Sand: Stripped down ‘mog 404
Road:
Or possibly:
Depends on where the roads are.

Not really. Nobody said they had to work, though.
That Merak is designed as a road car, therefore it fits the criteria. A dogsled is designed for snow, so it too fits. The Merak will spend its time broken down, which puts it in the same boat as a dog-less sled.

fair enough but I’m hoping to die in a fiery crash with a smile on my face long before it breaks down

There seemed to be a theme, and then you lost it at the road car. Not sure what road car would’ve been fun and gone with the rest though...

You’d have to be pretty weird to buy 5 old Range Rovers.

I like your choices, but non are 25 years old. ( I was going to choose the Terrawind until I remembered)

Yeah, didn’t see the 25 year rule. Edited it.

Other than being generally ex-mil, I dont’ know that there was much of a theme. There’s generally an ex-mil answer for specific off-road situations, but on-road? Wait, wait, I got this. Ike’s staff car garage.
Packard Clippers in OD. YISSS. There was also a Cadillac.

You’d have to be pretty handy/rich/crazy to buy 5 old range rovers.

Wait I found an opportunity to be pedantic... I wouldn’t want a 25 year old goat.

CUCV isn't weird enough. I recommend gamma goat.

This is my pick. Mountain, water, snow and sand are no problem. The roads will suffer and I should probably pick something different but too bad, I'm on mobile.
