Freak of the Week: Mr. Unimog

Quick Quiz:  What’s 6,000 pounds, has five wheels and eats H3s for breakfast?

Give up?

It’s this:

Unimog PCH

The Mercedes Unimog, which, for lack of a better comparison, is the European equivalent of the American Hummer.  (I can smell the hate mail already…)

And if you’re a guy named David, a commercial director and Unimog enthusiast, it is also the location of your Thursday office:

Unimog PCH office

You see, Dave does this every Thursday. His excuse is street cleaning, so rather than squeezing his ’64 Mog into the Prius packed streets of his Westside neighborhood he heads up the coast. His destination is  PCH & Sunset where he ‘gets some real work done’– note the surfboard on the roof.

Hate David yet?  

Wait until you meet his “bitchy” assistant, Molly:

Unimog dog

I too am tempted to hate Dave.  However, any workplace that involves dogs, surfboards and the requisite Warn winch (just in case a tsunami knocks my office into a ditch) is undeniably bad ass. Not to the mention the fact that when the fog rolls in you can head to the Mojave for a week with no problem.

David– you’re a freak …and a genius.
