I was fortunate to have covered several thousand miles in an M-151 without incident - it was a great little vehicle

Me too, but you had to drive the thing like you knew it was out to kill you.

"Me too, but you had to drive the thing like you knew it was out to kill you."

As you probably remember, the M-151 speedometer read from 0 to 60 in an arc approximating 240 degrees; at the bottom of the gauge, it said "miles per hour". My Jeep in 'Nam would do "per" which was about 15 mph past the 60 mark. I'll have to admit that I pushed it a few times driving between Long Binh and Saigon but that was a nice smooth highway with only a few gentle curves. But that was a long time ago when I was young........
