Road trip to Pennsylvania. Picking up an H1 Hummer.

[Mark]

So last friday I get a call from Ben asking if I could tag along with him to pick up a Hummer he just bought that was in Pennsylvania. I thought it would ok to get out and explore another part of the country. :shakehead:

So Ben borrowed a friends truck and trailer and we are off from Beaumont Texas!


Here is the 28' trailer we used:

We did not make any stops besided fuel stops. Sleep stops are for bitches :D. When we arrived for fuel we made sure to go to the bathroom and grab food and drinks as well. Here was one of our lunches:

The trip was a little over 20 hours each way. It starts to make a person crazy after a while:

I believe it is a 7 liter duramax diesel that made 800whp and 1100ft lb.

0-60 was 5.6 seconds.

After all is said and done, the Hummer is insane!!! It is not all that uncomfortable to ride in and is surprisingly quick. It is a real head turner on the road as well!


Oh and Ben, please don't ever ask me do drive across the fucking county to pick up a truck ever again!!!:banghead:





haha jk man :D

[mikesrex]

i bet that was a challenging and fun road trip! I had a blast when I drove home from my sister's place in Chicago. The only part that sucked was driving at night.

[Mark]

yeah it was really not that bad. Like you said, the night was rough. Ben figured out that eating chips helps keep you awake. It really works! :D

[Speedy]

badass new ride

[Steve0]

Man, I was very unaware they made a Saleen model Focus, haha. I honestly don't know if they did, but I VERY seriously doubt it, but hey, crazier things happen. Oh, and that hummer is freakin sweet.

They did. Kinesl Ford had one for 2 years. It came with a body kit and nitrous.

[JustaSloWgn]

[Speedy]

and if you filled the bottle it voided your warrenty..... :mynameisben:
