From the Department of Things You Never Asked For: The Munga.

This DKW/Auto Union quasi-Jeep built from 1955 through 1968 packed a stonkin' 40-plus horsepower three-cylinder and, well, not much else. Auto Union, predecessor to Audi, won a contract from the Federal German Army to built this thing, beating out Porsche (which would later unveil something called a "Cayenne").

"But Straightline," you ask, "I get that Auto Union built a Jeep rip-off  after the war but why is it called "Munga," and not something more attractive-sounding like "Flump" or "Phhhht?" Well, kind reader, we're glad you asked. Munga is a sort-of acronym taken from the German Mehrzweck Universal Gelandewagen mit Allradantrieb. Duh.

Anyway, the Munga is great for watering flowers and, apparently, diversion ladies totally dig it.
