Note: I'm really surprised the Gama Goat isn't more popular in the secondary market. Old Skool guys always talked about them being able to go anywhere and they were amphibious, I would think that some rich rancher somewhere would use one as a runabout.
Note 1: The experiment to convert webpages to PDF files so that they could be saved and read on e-readers at leisure without an internet connection was an utter failure. The quest for improvement continues.
The problem with the Gama Goat was that they broke down... often. The first unit I went to in the fleet had a goat. In the year plus I was with that unit that goat went to the field exactly once. It spent the rest of it's time deadlined. Riding in the back trailer was pure torture, between the engine noise and the rough ride. But, like you said they would go anywhere and where pretty darn cool, as long as you didn't have to ride in it.
