1. Not Rice.

2. There is nothing wrong with having Doors that open different or non- factory paint jobs. Its Modifying. Different strokes for different folks i guess but how is this different from, say, the Hiller/Richie XP falcon?


Im not liking the paint scheeme though

Note the part in bold, I think that sums it up best.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion of it, I guess our opinions just differ

To tell the truth, I don't mind doors that open like that too much, but when they're on four door vehicles with short doors like that I think they look way out of place. Two-door vehicles usually look alright, provided they have longer doors like say, a Supra or something. Also, I love non-factory paint jobs, I guess I worded it wrong, that paint scheme does NOT suit the hummer though.

If everyone had exactly the same opinion on things I think the world would be a very boring place.

Who looks a style like 'donk' and says, "Thats for me, im gonna spend 80 Gees on that"
2 weeks later and the novelty value is gone, buried and hopefully will never return.

I reckon it looks awesome, despite my hate for all things Hummer. Still a rubbish vehicle though, just proves that 400Kw doesnt necessarily mean it will be good.

XzLr8, I can't see the ride quality being too great on that thing with such low profile tyres.

Yes, but I am in tears of laughter at that thing with 40" rims. Excessively stupid vehicle it may be, but the comedy value derived from it is nothing but gold

funny thing is, you say its 40 inches tall, the original ford GT40 in 1966 had a total height of 40 inches...

Paint scheme ( diabolical if u may) aside, it would be a practical vehicle to drive, ermm, in a ram raid ?

Aerodynamics of a house brick, with the cornering prowess of a ruler and more colourful than a packet of Crayolas.

Ideal for the person with small man syndrome in desperate need of attention.
