Now I have seen it all. I always thought the super stretch Lincoln Navagators were a little too much, but after seeing a VERY long super strech Hummer painted on American Flag motife (see the RC hummer on my web site) I can't imagine anything more in excess. While there is a certain coolness about the hummer, especially one painted in these colors, this thing ws just too much. My only question is; WHY? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

vehicles like that are purchased to extend ones manhood.
i don't see the point anymore, since there are pharmaceuticals now that can alleviate such short comings. (pun expressly intended. lol) |

I've got a buddy who's about the most enthusiastic flag-waver you could imagine. He'll probably continue voting republican from prison after they bust his ass for pot smoking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
He'd buy a Hummer in a second if he could ever get that kind of money. And he'd probably paint it Red-White-and-Blue too. (RWB color-change paint). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) He drives a Caddy, and says that the 914 is a "girlie car". And the Germans are all Communists. Actually, any country other than the USA is Communist, according to this guy. He's fun to drink with though. I guess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Actually, I love the paint job. It looked a lot like the RC Hummer I painted. What I don't understand is the super strech part. A strech limo for the right occasion is or for business is one thing, but this thing is all about being flashy. I guess I never understood why one would drive (or ride) in a vehicle that's only purpose was to say 'look at me'. Sure, I like car that are considered flashy my most of the public, but I would only buy or drive it if it was enjoyable for me. Think Ferrari or Turbo Porsche. I can't see how one could enjoy this beast.
Bruce, it was an H1. Another odd observation is the number of H2 Hummers I see on the road. Man, these things are ugly. And when you add color change paint or fly yellow, they get uglier. I'd bet that 99% of these never see more dirt than on the average highway. Did anyone see the H2 that got stuck in the mud at the Hershey Hill Climb this year? Too funny. |

Just a side note about Hummers- and I think I mentioned this once before on the BBS. According to J. D. Powers and Associates, the Hummer was ranked #1 for customer complaints after the original purchase. And the #1 complaint from new owners? POOR MILEAGE!!!. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Didn't they notice that these are 1,000,000 lb tanks? That's like Aztec owners complaining after they bought one, that they're ugly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Ever had a jacked up SUV sitting behind you with their headlights rammed up your butt??? Or see that 6 thousand pound indy car on the freeway lane-jockeying at high speeds with a cell phone in her ear???
I dig SUVs - have one, but with power comes responsibility...... IMO- the Hummer should be called the Exterminator! |

everyone who drives one will get keyed eventually. right at the door infront of the store, 2 spots minimum. there should be a $10k dope tax for anybody who purchases them.
