Hummers are too cool. We have them on base down here for general towing and hauling. I finally got to drive one 2 months ago. They are awesome and tough off-road, but take em on the freeway...don't expect to push past 60 easily. Oh by the way. The Hummer H2 aint a hummer. It's just a Chevy Suburban frame with a new hummer-esk body. Not like the real deal in this story. Choice.

ahem... FYI the H2 is more than just a suburban frame. if yo read anything about the hummer it will tell you that it is parts of the 1500 and 2500 Chevy frames and some other H2 unique frame pieces.

Wow, that's one way to catch a crook! On an H2 note, Car and Driver seemed to believe it was fairly decent as well. http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp ... le_id=1857

I agree. I imagine his insurance agent is having a heart attack about now. It will be interesting to see if he gets off with no charges. Don't really see that happening though.

Right. Sorry, that part was replying to the discussion about the H2 above. The first part was to your post. Sorry for the confusion.

This guy is a HERO!Sadly, he'll probably face charges of assault and/or attempted murder, and then there are the lawsuits should these asshats survive...If more people just killed the criminals outright, there would be less crime Harsh, yea, but hey, it works! :D
