I’d buy a Schwimmwagen if I could find one for a reasonable sum. Or a bus or a Kombi, take it apart and build a Pookie.

And if you know off the top of your head what any of that is, then you’re as weird as I am. :-)

Questionable:

"According to Trevor Davies Engineering, manufacturer of the Pookie, "...of the 76 vehicles built between 1976 and 1980 none ever detonated a mine, though 12 were lost and two drivers were killed."[1] Remotely detonated mines were responsible for the loss of the 12 vehicles and one of the fatalities, though it is not clear[to whom?] if the remaining fatality, caused by an RPG, also resulted in the loss of vehicle and if that loss was included in the previous count."
