Die hard FORD owner, wants a HUMMER...

That's as crazy as the guy who made a Mercedes McLaren SLR replica. He started with a 560 SEC (W126 chassis)

I know! I know! If you have to ask "why", you'll never understand... I can't take it any longer, "WHY???".

'course, maybe it's the same reason some folks build their own teardrop. He just chose a more difficult project.

You guys won't believe it but one of those lives near me too. After checking it out I thought, "How useless, all that towing power and you can't even tow a 5th wheel."

At least the F-650 Super Cruzer can tow a 5th wheel. Oh one of these lives the next town over.

I can kind of understand the guy doing the Mercedes. When he built it, Mercedes hadn't built the car yet, it was still a concept. When they did offer them they cost $450,000.

Now the guy with the Hummer, I have no idea why. Maybe just to say he did it? If his reasoning is so that he can have a Hummer with a Ford engine and drivetrain, he could have bought wrecked or surplus Hummer and put a Power Stroke Diesel in it. He is using straight axles instead of the real Hummer's independent suspension. Straight axles are stronger and better for rock crawling but who would rock crawl in a super wide Hummer?

I don't understand that one either.

Cuz they're idjits??

PresTX82 -- there's a company in Lubbock that drives spoilt-Pepto-pink vehicles as a marketing ploy. I gotta say, their Jeep looks better than their Hummvee. But my favorite is their TopKick Chevy truck...

Now, for fun, there's this:

Laredo,

Thanks for posting that picture. I sold Chrysler products for a short while and a Chrysler Rep. told us about new products coming our way.

I told my buddies about that truck and the didn't belive me. It was called T-Rex. At that time I told them about the Crossfire also. They really didn't believe that Cadillac was getting into the truck business and that a pick up was coming that had back wheels that would turn like an articulated tractor.


Thanks Again

Greg In Northern Minnesota --

You're welcome.
That one has the V-10 Iron Block (no longer available, like my beloved 318's !) but about any Dodge Truck shop in Texas probably still has the poster.

I love that "face" on the trucks.

My dad turned wrenches on Chrysler products for 44 years straight.
I'm a little prejudiced but I come by it honest.
