This one. NEW YORK - It may not be long before drivers of the Hummer - the steroid-laden sports utility vehicle favoured by the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger - get a fright when they look in their rear-view mirrors. Trailing them will be a set of wheels even bigger, greedier and more eye-catching than their own. The US Army and the Chicago manufacturer International Truck and Engine Corporation are jointly developing a replacement for the venerable Humvee troop transporter, from which the Hummer was derived. Last week, prototypes of the so-called "Smart Truck 3" were displayed at a trade show in Las Vegas. The army also wants the vehicles to be marketed to other customers such as government agencies or regular Joes who only feel right using a stepladder to get behind thewheel. The commercial version would not have the electronics designed to detect anthrax, the Kevlar armouring on the underside, the night-vision cameras and the 25-inch LCD touch-screen computer monitors. But it would be just as big. The Smart Truck would weigh in at no less than 8,000lb, compared to nearly 5,000lb for the second generation Hummer, the H2... x the largest nonterminating integer possible in current mathematics.
I'm gonna get me one of these as a present to myself for winning the election!! YEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWW!
How on earth are we going to convince anyone to risk their life driving a electric or hybrid vehicle? Get into an accident with one of these babies and you're dust.
Maybe that's the plan? If we can get these rolling on the streets.......... and believe me, the only people that can afford them are the same idiots squirting three kids into them...or the people that put those wheels that never stop spinning onto cars. ...........then the terrorists will NEVER win! Why? Because we'll constantly be fighting them for more oil!
I hope to see a press release soon after the Megalo-Hummer is released that tells owners to deflate the tires in order to lower the center of gravity.... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Then after a couple weeks, the sound of popping tires and rollover reports start coming in again.
