I believe I've proven that my antishun techniques work consistently, in both demo and Street Shun situations...

I'll forgive you, but only if you buy me the ScubaCraft. You don't need to spring for delivery though. I will pick it up.

I have those nice things but I prefer my private island sitting in my recliner chair watching my 2000 inch tv

Well I would...but I don't generally carry small change with me...you see I never know when I might want to buy a small country

OK, you talked me into the big one. Go ahead and buy it for me. With or without the floating island, that's up to you.

It's a very expensive 4x4 built by Mercedes, primarily used by the military and government agencies. They're basically junk, with the exception of the axles. The axles are a very unique design that eliminates the clearance-robbing differential pumpkin in the center (more or less) of the axle. A set of Unimog axles is the Holy Grail for building a hard core rock crawler.

Heavens on, if I drove it the value would go down...I just keep them in the garage next to my Austin Martins, the Ferrari collection (1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spider, 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 S NART Spider) and my Mercedes; 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 Silver Arrow

A full sized Unimog? Nope. Don't really want to either, since they're useless on the road, and too big for the trails in this part of the world.
I have driven a Unimog-axled Wrangler, though. Awesome clearance, and because the Unimog axles have incredibly low gear ratios, they crawl incredibly well. The only other way to get a crawl ratio in that range is to spring for something like the Atlas 4-speed transfer case, which goes down to a 10:1 ratio with both low ranges engaged.
