He he he. I drive a hummer regularly
(http://www.raytheontucson.com/production_programs/tow/tow.htm)
I'm a TOW gunner in the Light Infantry (Computer engineer by day,
Grunt on the weekend). What I can tell you about the hummer!
Slow as a dog. Contrary to common belief it CANNOT climb over anything
(well, almost anything). We got one hung up on a cedar stump once. Not
a pretty site. The military HMMWV is slow, HOT in the summer (passenger
sits
on battery compartment), frigid in the winter (air gets in everywhere)
AND ITS AN AUTOMATIC!!!
I guess in the military they have to make 'em auto. Too many dopes that
can't
figure out what the pedal on the left does. (This is not to offend our
fans in the automatic world).
Also the Hummer is W_I_D_E. Our Daks can go more places -- really I've
tried ;)
