Hummer H4 Prototype

I've been thinking about doing this for about 2 years.

Ok, I get it.

That should get a rise. Took me a minute until I opened your attachment.

Folks'll never buy it. Your car's not nearly ugly enough.

H3 to H4 isn't enough of a drop to get to our size.

How about the H-42 prototype (also the answer to the life, the universe, and everything).

I like the joke, but not the sticker.

I thought about doing that as well. Was gonna buy a MY/B MCS(which seemed to be the populare color the HUmmer was always advertised with) and stick a Hummer dealer plate with a personalized license plate saying "H10."

I like it!!!

I'm all for having something different to play with people's mind.

I modded the DH's GT500 with a HYBRID badge. At car shows we get way too many folks making the comment that they didn't know it came in a Hybrid version. It sure adds fun to those stinking hot car show events.

My Mini has the Shelby Jr. letters on it now. Only those who know we have a matching Shelby GT500 get it, but that's fine.

I'd like to add the HEMI badge. Maybe a HYBRID HEMI would work for a better batch of laughs.

Well, Ford did have the Super Stallion show car several years ago that was a flexible fuel vehicle.

We should pity the poor Hummer drivers. Here's a bona fide comparison:

And another thing... isn't "hummer" a French word for "Miniwannabe?"

I'm glad you guys like the sticker. A friend at work does custom car graphics and he hooked me up with this one.

I had absolutely no idea that someone already did the comparison between Hummer and MINI. I like the pic of the rock climbing. They should have had a pic of the MINI dodging rush hour traffic and the Hummer stuck a mile back.

The Hybrid badge was a great idea.

I'm thinking my next MINI will have Hummer H4 Concept.
