Crossbreeding shows up in the Yamaha Wolverine..

The civilian ATV market was biased toward utility work and getting to out of the way places that you didn't want to/or couldn't take your truck.  Racing was focused on speed and jumps.

The military took notice and started using them.

Mil Spec features like bull bars (more for looks than utility from my arm chair), weird storage spaces and alternate engines became common.

Now the circle is complete and you have the new Yamaha Wolverine.  It has racing, utility and mil spec features all in one package. Pretty cool.  I might have to visit the local dealership to take a look-see.

On a sidenote.  I had a talk with a lady that has me thinking about finally pulling the trigger on becoming a reserve deputy on their Search and Rescue Team.  I live in hurricane country, have some skills and keep in shape so I think I might be able to help.  Additionally from what I can see those boys do good work locally looking for missing persons, and generally heading into places that most don't want to go.  

Sounds like fun.
