That's the funniest thing I heard all week! Who the heck wants a $*#% Hummer?
Does it have the big Iron rings protruding through the hood? You can hook
parachutes on them and throw it out the back of an airplane :-) After placing
2nd in the AUVS ground robotics competition at OU, our team lead went on to
work on Hummers that follow Hummers for the army (grad work) I never could
figure out what cargo they'd carry cause there's no room - like ya said...

> On the other hand, they list for $74,000.

It'd cost more than that in gas for me to drive it home to Michigan.

> Anyone know of a dedicated Major Havoc for sale in the New York area ?

Last year one with monitor problems sold here for $50 at auction - no I
didn't go that day :-(
