You just said diesel trucks are gay? I big diesel truck is the farthest from gay. And a unimog would take large, sloppy shits all over any hummer made

until it came to an off camber section... wide + low center of gravity is pretty ideal...


unimogs are another dream vehicle of mine... but really all that makes them special in my eyes is the portal axles... which you could potentially toss under any vehicle.

yes i sure did. 99% of them are. because 99% of them are driven by people who are compensating, doing it for for looks, or never see any dirt. the other 1% that use them for towing and hauling stuff around are ok. but really, me and my friend haul more stuff in his 4cyl 20 year old tiny toyota truck, than most people in an f250 will ever haul.

and yeah unimogs are sick, but i wouldnt wanna haul ass in one. hummers however do pretty damn well at high speeds and taking high speed corners.

Yep cuz you've seen their cocks and have a gps tracking device on every diesel truck in the world. Where are you getting these percentiles from?

its well known scientific data. you wouldnt have access to it cause your not me.

but srsly. its a very rare occasion that i see someone in a big diesel truck that isnt a huge tool. atleast around here.

im guessing you drive one???

Just because you see trucks in town without shit in the bed or a big trailer attached to it doesn't mean that people don't haul or tow with that truck. Plus, what's wrong with an F250/350 never seeing dirt? They don't really seem like offroad machines to me anyway. Hauling doesn't require a truck to "get dirty" and don't be so quick to jump to conclusions about the drivers of those vehicles.

when you see trucks being used, its usually something older, not the size of a fucking school bus. and not extremely clean without a scratch on it. i know a lot of truck owners, and the only ones who actually use them own something cheaper and beat up. its the guys with brand new lifted f250s that dont put anything bigger than a mountain bike in it. cause they buy it for image.

Or they buy it because they enjoy trucks and that's their hobby. Why do people by lambos and ferraris? Because they enjoy cars and have the money to do so. Maybe 1% may do it for image, your percents are flipped

Your possibly the most retarded, ignorant idiot I have ever argued with. People buy Miatas because they can't afford anything better, which usually consists of fat middle aged ladies who are trying to be young and hip. And people buy ferraris and similar exotic cars because thats most likely a hobby of theirs. Please explain to me why someone would dish out 250 grand just for image, maybe 1% of exotic car owners may but the other 99% do because they like cars and probably collect them.

yea, your right that you have to like cars to spend 250 grand on a car. but id say less than half do much more than take the occasional neighborhood turn quickly or accelerate fast from a stop light. sure they might like ferarris, know alot about them, and are a car enthusiast, but that doesnt mean they arent buying those cars to look cool. id say your average miata enthusuats is much more into the actual driving part of owning a car than your average lambo enthusiast, cause they sure as shit arent doing it for image..

Doubtful, a friend of my grandpas had 4 ferraris and 2 lamborghinis and he would take one to a track almost every weekend. And of course you would drive a mists more than a lambo or Ferrari, lambos arnt exactly a top candidate for a daily driver. And you could argue that anyone owns any car just for image

thats great, im not saying that there are plenty of lambo/ferrari owners out there that drive the shit out of their cars, (personally id rather spend 10-20 k on some spec miata or junior formula car but i dont know what its like to be a millionare so i cant argue)

but being around cars and racing most of my life, your average exotic car owner, owns their car to own a cool car, and probably never see redline. its usually the muscle car, miata, old british sports car, and corvette guys that own their cars to use them. unless they are a muscle car, british sports car, etc.. collector.
i just dont see the point in owning a car unless your gonna use it and use it alot.

Since you own a hummer, you probably own one of these.

85 pickup or 4runner is prime. Straight axle instead of ifs, fuel injection too. They are beastly

He's saying you can get a much better car for under 30 grand, which I 100% agree with. Hummers are pretty much the most impractical vehicles

True, but for the price of one new you could have got a custom built beast that could wreck it. What were they $120 grand orbsometying like that? Theres a vid on YouTube of an h1 going completely underwater for over 10 seconds or so and driving down a river. That's badass, none of this driving through 2 inch puddle in my soccer dad wannabe pickup truck shit

Do you have a snorkel? If not, it's kind of self explanatory why it doesn't like you...and you can hydrolock your engine if you get enough water in there

ZOMG i can buy a nissan titan with a diesel motor? or a toyota truck?

Are you fucking retarded, if it runs on diesel it doesnt even get gas mileage, trololz.

The h1 i test drove for work alot got 8mpg dumbass. None of that pussy 12mpg shit. And i know for a fact that motherfucker didnt have any v8 in it, try 6.6L turbo duramax, motherfucker.

85 on is ifs unless the person you bought it from converted it to a straight axle. Ifs is a torsion bar system versus the offroaders preferred straight axle and Leaf spring set up. If you have Leaf springs all around, you have a straight axle bland if you only have them in the rear you've got the ifs system

engines that came in the h1:

Duramax<powerstroke<cummins<catepillar... poor civ h1s

Allisons are a thing of beauty though.

pros, solid axles are stronger simpler and can be built for better articulation

i cant think of any cons

if you can do the fab work yourself it costs as much as an axle, leafs and spring hangers, so whatever you get them for is your cost pretty much
