Hummers
Wednesday’s “lets look at all the fun shit I could never possibly afford week.” I’ve decided to get the ultimate in vehicle excess a Hummer. If you’re fortunate enough to be bathing in money, who needs to worry about fuel economy? Now I could get a souped up suburbanite Hummer, but I think a genuine military vehicle hot off the streets of Kabul is more me.
Checkout this original 1986 HumVee. What an unreal toy to go coasting the streets in. Lets take a look at some of the bells and whistles. On those hot summer days, there’s a sunroof military style… Turret roof w/360 degree rotating pedestal, cantilevered roof opens forward or backwards.
Having problems with your neighbour’s dog that insists on pooping on your front lawn? Try the 50 caliber demilitarized machine gun for some enforcement power. I have visions of patrolling the neighbourhood with a Cartman, “respect my authority,” bumper sticker. Whats more, its fully submersible and can travel through and under 5 feet of water. Now tell me that is not cool?
For the more preened and commercial types, you can’t go past the H1. For a cool US$141,000 the pinnacle of 4WD ridiculousness can be all yours. However, there’s no telling when a full blow tree obstacle may get in your suburban path. And with a 16 inch axle clearance from the ground, factoring in some delft ducking and you’ll be skimming over the kiddies as they cross the road rather than knocking them down as per the standard 4WD’s on the market.
