List your reason behind your MV

[islandguydon]

I have seen MV's from a Gama goat to a wrecker and everything in between.

Some people bought a CUCV for the trails, desert and or hunting. Others for a BOV. Others have bought a Deuce for the farm, work or for parades. Others bought a wrecker for recovery work. Others bought a 109 for a BOV, camper and parades. What did the green monster talk you into.....?

 

[Recovry4x4]

The only purpose I ever had for buying them was I like them! The wrecker, again, was just a want but makes working on other MV's pretty easy.

I missed driving the freightliner and the M35A3 came up. It rides like the freightliner, sounds better than the freightliner and it doesn't get stuck in mud puddles. And It was cheaper than a new 4 wheeler thingy.

CUCVs are handy around the farm.

Like anything , who needs a reason .

 

[flighht2k5]

I wanted the most intelligently designed, most capable stock truck I could get

 

[RealCavDog]

I screwed up my original EMP/BOV plan, so I voted number 4 ! I got sucked into the super nice, like new A3 club, which defeated my doomsday/multifuel/trail-fixable/push-pull start/winched import crusher that I started out on !

No regrets, still looking for the above listed !

Just very glad I had the self control to avoid the 900 series appeal ! . . . well . . . so far !

Just like starting a truck off in 2nd gear or most any other aspect of life, IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT.

YEP WHAT HE SAID, Poll needs a lot more options

 

[JeffAS]

Wanted to be GREEN lol, just fun to drive

 

[DeucesWild11]

Knew I wanted one ever since I saw Tremors 2.. My silverado was rusting out from under me and I wanted something that was going to LAST! The multi-fuel factor is a great plus as well! Mine is only for fun and the occasional trip to the hardware store. Can't wait to take the deuce to the local classic car show!

 

[TIGERFANS2]

voted for parades but actually my reason is:

because I can

 

[combatmech]

Fun mostly, and it's great hobby. Being able to do parades, car shows and getting into the mud are just some of the perks.
My other hobby, airplanes and flying...Just can't afford a big engine warbird....YET!! However, I would love to have a deuce or a 5 ton someday...

Because my ex-wife said "you buy that and we're done!".

 

[mactiredearg]

Because when we drove by the first one my little girls (then aged 9, 6 and 4) thought it was "the coolest thing ever!!!"
And when I saw the grins on their faces after the test drive I knew there was no turning back.
Now I'm addicted to the fun and have picked up a second truck and a trailer. I'd probably pick up more but town rules wont let me. Plus the boss says she gets either an ambulance or a caisson before I get any more toys...

What I tell those who ask: parades, displays and Little Girls' Smiles.

well i have to be honest, i was a little kid playing army in the back yard in the 60s, and i loved the partades in town for memorial day 4th of july and veterans day. seeing all the old GIs marching down the avenue, and seeing some old militarty stuff go by. visiting my older brother at the army bases he was at. to me it was all things army. and now i am older, did my time in the army, and now i am one of the old GIs marching down the avenue.
haveing a MV is fun and as it turned out educational and a great source for the old dogs to reminisce about the good old days.
when i had my M-38a1 with trailer aside from just enjoying cruising around and sometimes trail riding, i also got to use it with the Young Marine detachment here in town, the kids just loved it. done some things for the local Viet Nam vet chapter here. It had been some years since i had to sell my jeep and most of my gear, but now i am getting back on my feet and well getting another mv was just what the dr ordered, dont tell my wife I am the Doc who ordered it.
I am a heavy equip mechanic by trade so working on this stuff is a delight , its fun and sometimes theraputic. I dont have any one reason why but man i am just glad i can come out and play.

youres at arms Doc

 

[ralbelt]

Take my grandsons for ice cream, now one of them sayes I need a huge army truck, he is 3.

 

[Seth_O]

To get chicks. I didn't see that in the poll though......

 

[CARNAC]

CUCV originally due to wrecking my 6 month old jeep. Living in NYC and wanted something that if got scratched, dented, vandalized, I wouldn't care. I mean I care just don't feel I'm out a whole lot.

Deuce was bought after I said I'd never buy one cause I would never need it. Then ECOSTRUCTION has to post pictures of my former deuce from my ole reserve days. I buy a deuce. Then I have to move to take a new, much better job. I move myself with it.

Always wanted a WWII jeep since I was a kid. A close family friend had one we use to take hunting. He wouldn't sell me that one so I lucked out and CRUZINZ28 shold me his which is being restored.

Trailers bought to support moving or emergency generator.

Shelters bought for storage.

USMC motorcycle bought for cheap transport to work due to the high fuel prices.

 

[Jesse6325]

Wanted one since I was a kid, Also wanted something that I could splatter a wild hog with and not have a $3000.00 + repair bill.
Besides, It's just fun to drive!

 

[Flyingvan911]

Because they are awesome in countless ways.
