They are crazy!!!!!!!!!

[junglestylz]

I have to do a medical support mission for the ROTC next weekend. The company that is lending me the HMMWV doesn't want to get up at 0430 in the morning to check out the vehicle, so they are letting me take it the day before. I return on Sunday and they won't be there so they are letting me keep it until Monday. This will be my transoprtation for that half week. [fake]

 

[wileycoyote]

Hmmm, this could be really good, or really bad.

 

[junglestylz]

It will be really fun, and probably REALLY bad!!! I can't park it on the street because the doors are removable, and they don't have a keyed ignition, but I don't know if it will fit in my garage.

 

[Wadula]

alright, i will book my flight to sin city now!!!!

 

[junglestylz]

That is the meanest looking vehicle on the planet.

 

[codex57]

0-60 time never matters when you can pull a fair sized tree out of the ground.

I would go mudin if i got to drive it...Then when it is all muddy i would go out to eat with a really hot girl and take it to some fancy resturant when it is all muddy

 

[PuShAkOv]

Hell.. that thing has no Acceleration Gs.... but it sure can be fun in the mud.

 

[MrElussive]

Supposedly, they handle well since they are so wide.

 

[junglestylz]

That is true. They are loud, spacious, uncomfortable, and best of all.........POWERFUL!!!!! All we have around here to go ofroading on is desert though To bad because it does have a deep water fording kit on it.

 

[PuShAkOv]

[xLibelle]

[junglestylz]

Nothing but fun and trouble can come of this. I have to measure the garage tonight to see if it will fit. If it won't I might have to sleep in the damn thing.
