I saw this hummer from the window of my loft and had to go out there and take a picture with it. Oh my.

No. I live in Downtown St. Louis across the street from America's Center a convention center. Dub Magazine had an event there and they were getting ready to load that piece of crap onto a trailer.

See all the blue tape? That's to cover the chrome. They also had a lot of styrofoam and taped it all over the roof racks and other bling.

I like the picture. I also go for the different mismatch in size to park next to. When I drive the mini pickup somewhere I try to park beside the tallest vehicle there.

I made a shirt that says: "Real Men Drive Minis To Compensate For Their Enormous ********." It gets lots of smiles and grins at Mini events.

Isnt anyone else concerned that someone actually considered doing this to a HUMMER???
I mean...WoW...talk about having more money than brains! I bet the amount of bolt-ons that went into that thing could feed a starving family for a year!

Holy crap... you're from St. Louis? I'm from O'Fallon IL. My brother used to live in the ballpark lofts a couple blocks from the new Busch Stadium. So you're over kinda by the Kiel Center?

if you're talking to me, yes, I'm from St. Louis. And my building is across from the America's Center (a block from where the Rams play). About 6 blocks from Busch Stadium (Cardinals). The Blues play about 8 blocks away on Kiel.

Gotcha. So you're closer to the TWA/Edward Jones dome/America's center. Got it. lol
Just wondering so I can be on the lookout for a little mini around the area next time I'm over there. I'm usually in St. Louis once or twice a week for some reason or another. I'm surprised I haven't seen it yet.

Do a DE at Gateway and you might even pull Mike as an instructor and get to ride in anger with him.

Well, you probably wouldn't see it during the day since I park inside at home and walk to work most days. I guess you could say that I have 2 more Mini/MINIs than I need. But hey, it's not always about need, right?

E-mail me if you're going to be downtown and we'll see if we can hook up.

Anger? Nah. Enthusiasm? Yes.

Definitly consider a track day next year. It's the best (safest way) to explore the limits of your car.

Okay, here's my addition. Sorry for the poor quality. Taken when the sun was all but gone. This was me trying to fit in with the redneck relatives at a Thanksgiving dinner.
