When I worked at the Navy, I got to test the brand new (at the time) HMMWV and a military-prepped version of the Mercedes G-Wagen at the offroad testing area at Quantico in 2001. I spent most of my time driving the Mercedes in front of the Hummer because the Hummer was so new that they didn't yet have a brush gaurd and didn't want to smash in the fiberglass hood because it was the only one they had on base and it was to be used to drive VIPS around base.

We were driving over trees, knocking them down, no trail whatsoever, it was awesome except for coming onto a hornets nest at one of the break points and having to dive into the vehicles and find/kill the hornets that made it inside with us (nowhere else to go).

It poured rain the day before we went and it was a complete mud-fest. One of the requirements of us was to wash the hummer afterwards to make it spotless. It took two hours and we found a 5" diameter branch about 2" long wedged in the undercarriage. Had to lay under it and spray up into the underside to get it clean, it was a complete mess, but we had a BLAST. Never forget that day.
