Less than a month after extending it’s contract to sell the dune-hopping HUMMER brand to Tengzhong, the General has announced that it has stopped the deal and will wind down all production. Gloomy day for Louisiana and Indiana where the current lineup is assembled, as well as for those who assembled shrines in honour of the illustrious all-caps trademark. Dedicated to “The Beast,” I give you the best HUMMER TV spot [Naturally, from the 90's] that I know of. The deal may have been, but the legend can “never be stopped.”
Cool? Quite. Astonishing? No. Crawlers do these tricks on a daily basis, though we can’t exactly disregard this madcap’s skills [and the H1's, of course]. From throttle control going up to managing the axles’ conical stress loads while going down, this bloke can “hum” in the deepest, most brawny [and dulcet] voice you’ll ever hearken.
You want me to use that word “astonishing?” Climb the *next* wall.
