Two-ton death machine

The H3's curbweight is about 4700 pounds, but the H2 is going to be a good bit more.

To the OP: I really don't understand your lumping these all under the "military use" umbrella. The H2 is nothing like the military-spec HumVee, and the H3 probably has more in common with a Toyota Prius. Hell, even the civilian-spec H1s are not that close to the HumVee used by the military. By your same size-based argument, do you hate the Dodge Magnum? How about the Chrysler 300? You should. Their wheelbase is 9 inches longer than the H3, and they only weigh a few hundred pounds less.

For the record, I drive an extended-cab, 6-cyl. 1999 Ford Ranger. I very rarely haul things in the bed of the truck, as it was intended to do, or tow anything with it, and far more often than not, I'm the sole passenger. Lately I have been looking at late-model, full-size trucks and SUVs, and will NOT consider anything smaller than a crew-cab w/ a V-8. I will remain the sole passenger most of the time, but could use the extra seating room with my new job. Bite me, hippies.

Isn't that Jon Leiber's truck? He used to pitch for the Philadelphia Phillies, but recently signed with the Cubs. I think that's his. He lives here in town, but with all the shoulder rehab he's been doing over the past year, I haven't seen him around as much as I used to.

So I was at the mall the other day... I can't believe these crazy people drive their two-ton death machines around AT THE MALL! I mean, theres little kids all over the place, what if somebody went crazy and couldn't resist flooring the accelerator and killing a bunch of people with their assault vehicle? The mall, schools, movies, theres all these target-rich parking lots where people can just go crazy! Those Hummers are the same kind the MILITARY uses! Why do civilians need them?

I say we ban these high-capacity flammable liquid tanks as well... I mean no one needs anything like that. Just means more people they can kill with their death machines without reloading the fuel tank. And fully-automatic cruise control too!!! We need to stop them!!!

I just peed my pants.
Guns SUCK!

The end.

There's a part of me that wants to buy that truck, just so I can paint a Greenpeace logo on it and cover it with pro-environmentalist bumper stickers like "Love Your Mother" and "Save the Whales". Maybe paint a baby harp seal on the back.
