I drove the military version in Saudi in mid-nineties. I'll keep it in mind. I like that part of pissing the Libs off! Hehehee... :-)

What you're talking about is the "original" Hummer, which is the civilian version of what you drove. I really want one of those! Just because of the "cool factor" of the engineering and technology... I love the idea of the reduction gears in the hubs, and the inboard disc brakes. I'm not sure how I'd handle a top speed of 83 mph, though... The Hummer mentioned earlier ($60,000) is the H2, which is an SUV designed to look like the real thing. The only thing keeping me from getting an original H-1 is about $110,000. I guess I'll just keep driving my Toyota Corolla, until I win the PowerBall!
