A Hummer simply should not be on the road full stop. Its a bloody military vehicle designed for the battlefield. What justification is there for driving the damn things on the road please tell me!:rolleyes:

There are some things in this world that if they have to be explained some folks just wouldnt understand.

Explain the need to Drive a Fugging great Military vehicle on the public highway as personal transport then! especialy when the average driver can barely control a family car!

Totaly stupid in my humble opinion.

What's your definition of an "average" driver?

I'm 20 and I autocross...I can control my car in all situations in any conditions. Is that average?

Yes, I know, but it was a broad generaization and I wanted clarification.

Besides, I don't post to be cool. I'm not one of the "cool" kids.

Family car? don't make me laugh. you got to be an idiot to want this lump on the street. its lethal to everyone else out there. The height of bloody minded selfish idiocy to drive such a thing.

Leave it to the Army for whom it was designed, fools.

Here endeth the rant!

Zulu,

Who died and made you nanny of the world????

There are lots of former military vehicles on the road and they do just fine thank you very much. Think old Jeeps. FYI ANY vehicle on the road is a danger to others on the road when mishandled. Just the simple fact of momentum and force makes that the case.

I suppose you want to ban the ownership of former military aircraft as well. After all no one NEEDS a P-51, F4U, FM2, F4F and so on. After all, airshow are just a waste of fuel aren't they.

Come to think of it no one NEEDS a vehicle larger than a volkswagen beetle (old style) so everyone should just get that and forget about freedom of choice of owning anything. Right?

I am 31, taken courses at MacNeil Rally School, and have utilized a chitload of four wheeling experiences to nhance my driving. What about you, "AAA Driver of the Year Wannabe"?

Btw, the pic posted of the Hummer is a $110,000 H1, if someone wants to fling the bling for it, let em. What about the H2? It's a Hummer based on a Yukon/Tahoe platform, but isn't a "Military Vehicle".

jesus mav, a little offended there?

i almost agree completely with zulu.. whats the point of having an h1? you didnt get it for the gas milage, and it makes a pretty lame suv.. its just the 'cool' factor. i'm not really a fan of the bigger american suvs nowadays because i think that once we start moving towards gasoline-free forms of transportation those things will go the way of the dodo.

its my opinion that owners of suvs should have to take a different drivers license test anyway. most of them (and mostly females) have no idea how to handle such a large vehicle on a public road.

A lot of people don't know how to handle cars let alone SUV's. Only this morning on the way into work an absolute W**@*@* in a tricked up Honda Civic suddenly realized he was in the wrong lane and turned across me without warning. Only by the grace of ABS brakes and quick reflexes my Golf would have joined him in the driver's seat. Right now they would still be cutting him out of the wreckage. What a prat. If I'd been driving an SUV it would have been all over for him and probably me. I remember seeing a demonstraton on the BBC's Top Gear programme where they swerved a Range Rover at only 40mph. It rolled and rolled and rollled. The high centre of gravity on those things make for a lot of instability.
