To Hummer Or Not?

I want to apply for the job to shine and buff the Hummer, what does it pay? I know how to inflate tires also.

If I can sleep in the truck my monthly rate can be reduced, if I can't sleep in the truck, under the truck will be fine, it does have great ground clearance right?

 

Well ... the H2 is 9.7 inches off the ground, OR, with optional air suspension engaged you can get an extra inch, so 10.8 inches. Unless of course you raise it even more, because that might not be enough.

So if you are 9.5 inches tall laying down you CAN sleep under the H2.

 

How about I just keep my car washing tools in my van, I will just sleep in the van if the pay is right.

Why are the machines so close to the ground, my two wheel drive pickup sits off the ground higher than that

 

'kinell Alek, that's cool.

Reminds me of the time I was at Bug Jam '88 at Santa Pod. This guy pulls up in the marshalling yard driving daddy's Porsche, looking all arrogant and smug. Next to him is this VW Beetle, with a wide wing kit, centre lines and all red oxide primer - doesn't look much so Mr. Porsche Tosser just turns his nose up. Underneath the bug body is a tube-chassis with a bored-out and tuned Rover V8 (Buick) with twin turbos and when the Christmas tree lights up the bug just p*sses all over the Porsche ROFL

Give him his dues, the Porsche driver came back for more so we flipped him the bird and hurled some verbals - he was humbled OK

 

Looking in my crystal ball, I can just envision that 15 years from now, it will be VS pulling up at the drag strip in her minivan with her three kids. They all pile out and everyone snickers (and of course, checks out the hot-looking Mom) ... but then she smokes 'em in the 1/4 mile!

P.S. I actually have done a small amount of drag racing - in my teen years, my younger brother did motocross, so I'd drive him to the track in the family station wagon. I'd get bored after a while, and since there was a drag strip at the raceway, I figured it would be fun to try that ... except when we got home, my parents weren't too happy about the large #743 emblazoned on the side of the wagon.

PPS. lever: enjoyed your story - BTW, here are some better christmas lights! ;-)

 

Alek, That is the craziest thing I have ever seen...

What made you think of getting them controlled by web users.

A great concept, that I am sure could be used for things other than christmas lights, but none the less - A GREAT F'KING IDEA!

 

LMAO I can't believe anyone would be caught dead in one of those

Here's one for you shawn:

Hummer H2: $50,000. Vanity plate: $300. Getting high-centered on a tree stump and pulled off by a 20-year-old beater Jeep: Priceless

Stumped Hummer

 

It's been a lotta fun the last two years (plus my neighbors have been pretty good about it) - I'm actually pretty excited about Christmas 2004 because as you can read from that link, I've got some new bells & whistles up my sleeve - I've done some of the coding allready, but I need to get serious about this in the next few weeks as my warm-up run is with my halloween lights

Since there seems to be interest, I'll post here in DP when things are "hot" - I'm targetting October 1st for Halloween and December 1st for Christmas.

GREAT Hummer/Jeep story mopacfan - loved it!

alek

P.S. While there is TONS of cool/geek stuff you can do with X10, the only other thing I use it for is turning on some house lights at dusk and off at dawn.

 

I don't believe this - It's only August and I'm getting excited 'bout Xmas already Looking forward to the update

...oh and here's another "idiot's guide to getting a hummer stuck" with a $200+ bill and legal consequences too...

 

It is NEVER too early to start thinking about Christmas - in fact, the take-down in January is key to laying the groundwork for the following year - check out Planet Christmast for more loonies like me.

Enjoyed that Hummer story too!
alek

 

good one summer

 

From what I know about you from this forum, I have no doubt it will be something like that - cute! ;-)

 

You allready rank #1 in Google for Shawn's Hummer so now you got the wheels to go with it - congrats on your purchase and have fun with it!
