Move over Hummer, meet MaxiMog Designed by a very rich guy, for scientific research. Think of where Indiana Jones could have gone if he had one of these. And he would have probably looked a little less rugged for the trip, thanks to the luxuries that this beast contains. MaxiMog was designed by Bran Ferren, formerly of Disney. He's an engineer, a designer, and probably a few other things thrown in. He wants to explore the world for scientific reasons and take pictures. MaxiMog is built by Thomas Ritter's Unicat, a German company. And since Ferren has made MaxiMog's plans freely available, Unicat can make the machine for anyone with the money. The vehicle is street legal, even passing California's strict emissions standards. It comes with a trailer that gives camping a new meaning; a motorcycle; an unmanned aerial vehicle; power generators; around seven computers; a communications suite that allows you to be in contact with virtually anyone, anywhere in the world, no matter where you are; internet access; local wireless network; and the list goes on, and on. Check it out, and wish to be rich! A pretty good article on the vehicle is written up in this month's Discover Magazine.
