He chopped the roof off to try to make it separate, but I agree, Ed.

(Maybe they are solar powered Hummers!!)

I guess its universal marketing. They are hitting two (extreme) different sides of the spectrum. I agree, its pretty thick irony!

Hey, I build hummers. Of course, I build Humvees, the incredible machines our soldiers use, not those crappy H2s. But yeah, those are ugly...........

I was next to a Nat Guard convoy the other day, I hadn't seen a real Humvee in quite a while, How did GM ever get the nerve to associate those toy H2 &H3s with Humvees, I'd like to own a real one, I'd actually take it out, raise hell with it and get it dirty.

Ain't irony a wonderful thing?! Just a couple of days ago, I was looking through a local grocer's weekly sales flyer, and on the back in large letters was "GARDEN-FRESH VEGETABLES AND FRUIT". Right below that, smack in the middle of the first line, was an ad for "garden express" bagged salad greens! Would sure like to see how they grow those, and what they're using for fertilizer!

I see hundreds every day. In fact, I build 80+ of em a day. They are some serious machines man. I'm sure $$$ was involved in the H2, the H3 is actually not much like the humvees at all though. The H2 has some parts that are interchangeable though. The grill, and some hood parts, among other things. They do get dirty for sure. We test them out rigorously............

Has anybody seen / heard the commercial for GM (?) The music accompaniment is "Ground Control to Major Toms" (aka) "A Space Odyssey".
Some how I don't think that song conveys a message I want customers to carry with them.....
Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom:
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom: Commencing countdown engine's on
Check ig-nition and may God's love be with you
This is ground control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade!
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear,
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to ground con-trol, I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very difeerent today
For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
BRIDGE
Though I'm passed one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go,
tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground control to Major Tom:
Your circuit's dead, there's something wong.
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you ...
Here am I floating round my tin can, far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

I did laugh.... BUT not to loudly considering I drive a 70 series Landcruiser which ain't the perfect model of fuel efficiency.

I remember when I got called in from the field and was told that my Jeep was being replaced with a Hum-V. It was a sad day, but I learned to like the oversized station-wagon type deal because of what it could do. These street version Hummers are a joke as far as what they are used for and what they are. I honestly believe that my 2 wheel drive pickup truck has seen more off roading than any of the shiny clean Hummers that I see around here. I don't know of any veteran that would even consider buying a Hummer, but would stand in line to get a beat to hell Hum-V to restore.
