"For a base price of $225,000 — nearly twice the Hummer H1 wagon's base price of $117,508 — consumers can get a basic version of the 10-foot-tall Bad Boy that can drive through five feet of water, climb a 60-degree grade, tow six tons and keep rolling even with a quarter-sized hole in the tire's sidewall. The price goes up from there, depending on options.."

Sweet. Actually I think the whole SUV market is a little crazy, and this proves it.

Oh man, I hope the gas milage is ground-breaking too. I'm talking inches to the gallon. I would totally buy it in that case.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight, Just what we need, another vehicle like that on the road. Just a question, why would any civilian need a bullet proof windshield, or a filter from nuclear fall out?

Now that's my kind of car. All I need to do is mount a few patriot missiles on it and I'm set.

You'd need your own gas station to get that thing across the block. Fortuneatly it's got the towing capacity for it.

I was going to do a short film a while back with dressed up service trucks as SUVs with the tag line "It's only a matter of time." I would have been prophetic.

"Profitetic?" "Prolific?" "Proletarian?" "Pugilistic?" "Periptetic?" "Pathetic?" "Prophylactic?"

ROFLMAO! Me? A "suburbanite??" LOL!

Besides ... don't need one. :p

I don't think any suburbanites are buying 225,000 dollar "statement" vechicles. At that point you're not in suburbia anymore, you're off in Montecito or Orange County or Pent House New York etc...

Yeah. You haven't used that thing in years. What good would getting an extension be?

:D

Do you suppose it comes with a flower vase? You know, like the VW Beetle?

a 60 degree grade is worth pause. Consider that for a moment. A goddam 60 degree grade! Sitting amost ten feet off the ground that would have to be an experience!

in case they are rammed by terrorists with a nuclear bomb on the front of their 1970s cadillac?
