Bringing Joy to the world!

OK, this past December I made a purchase that my wife thought was insane.  But I am here to defend that.  The pictured vehicle is a Steyr Puch Pinzgauer.  This is a Swiss Army vehicle that was produced in Austria.  Needless to say it is very eye catching.

When I brought it home for the first time, my wife proclaimed to my kids that "Your father is insane!"  My son responded "No! Dad is the coolest!"  

After driving it around for the past few months I have come to notice how much positive attention the vehicle gets.  Men everywhere turn to look at the vehicle.  If I park it somewhere, it draws a crowd or has someone waiting by it to ask me what it is when I return.  I have received hundreds of "Thumbs Up" and smiles from guys passing by.  I have even had a several pictures and videos taken of the vehicle.

So now I justify the vehicle as something that is bringing joy to a large part of our population during depressing economic times.
