I grew up as a city kid, in The Bronx, NYC. My Dad taught me to drive on a push button auto in an old Chrysler. When I joined the Army (a hundred years ago) I was sent to Korea. Part of my duties was a daily courier run to division HQ. I had a M-37 and M-151A1 as my official/personal vehicles, they had to teach me to drive a stick. I made the daily runs using every back road & tank trail over whatever mountain was between my unit and HQ. I had a ball. A normal half hour drive took me hours. Longer in winter weather, with snow and ice. I had a great time.
I always said that in low 4 wheels drive my M-37 could drive up a wall. I loved it. I did flip the M-151 but never the M-37. Never got stuck with the M-37.
Kept driving the M-37 in Vietnam but couldn't play off road in VN. Local people didn't like it, and they had guns....
I was on a business trip in 1976 to KC and turned on the tv and there was a story a convention of MV guys. Knocked my socks off, I never dreamed there were other guys that felt like me. I went, enjoyed myself, joined and been a member since of MVPA. It was MVCC then.
My first MV was a WC-56 Command Car. I taught my boys to drive on it when they were about 5. The torch was passed. I've owned a number of M-37's, even a M-201. I now own a 62 M-37B1, 68 M-715 w/w, and a 77 M-882. All licensed, drivable and we use all three at every chance we get.
