Arnold for the day

Yahoo! has an article by Alex Lloyd entitled Arnold Schwarzenegger is selling his custom five-ton Mercedes Unimog for $275,000, because tanks aren't cheap:

Arnold Schwarzenegger, during his stint as California's governor, spent time pushing environmentally-friendly laws, including signing into a bill that would allow the state to regulate greenhouse gases. But just because the Governator was outwardly pro-efficiency, his personal garage consisted of a diesel-guzzling Hummer H1, a Dodge M37 military truck, a gigantic 1977 custom Mercedes-Benz Unimog U1300, and an actual tank.
In all fairness, the vehicles Schwarzenegger has owned over the years (excluding the Tesla) fit his personality to perfection. His latest purchase, the M47 Patton II tank in which he made a video of himself crushing stuff, is evidently not all that cheap to run,  especially when you insist on driving over pianos, kids' bicycles, and giant eggs.
Something had to give, so now you can buy Arnie's monster 1977 Unimog for a nere $275,000. It has just thirteen hundred miles on the clock and is for sale in Germany.
That's a lot for a 1970s truck, but upon further inspection, it's not such a bad deal: Schwarzenegger reportedly bought the custom brute for $250,000 back in 2012. It might be a couple of years older now, but Arnie has signed his name on the dashboard, so there's that.
Under the hood is a 6.4-liter turbo diesel pushing 320 hp. You might think that's not a lot of power for a truck weighing five tons, and you'd be right; the Unimog tops out at about sixty mph. It's also not what you'd call "fuel efficient", managing just twelve mpg at a stretch. Still, it probably performs better than his tank, plus it's more practical, featuring a flat bed complete with a built-in bench seat for three. And it'll almost certainly still crush plenty of novelty items.
So hold off on buying that shiny new Tesla, because Arnie's selling his Terminator.

Rico says he always wanted a Unimog, but he's still got his heart set on a yellow Hummer:
