There was a guy in my area that had about 10 of them sitting on a lot for sale. Last time I was by there he was down to 3 or 4.

Re: [MBZ] OT anyone need a deuce-and-a-half?
In my late teens I had a buddy whose dad was in some sort of vehicle business, in which this truck was to play a role. One night we borrowed it for a joyride. I recall him coasting it out of the driveway so we wouldn't wake anyone. Being a city kid at the time, I had zero driving experience on any sort of vehicle, but that was fun.

A fellow I knew way back when had the opportunity to drive something like that. He said they had attached a big plywood circle to the steering wheel so that you couldn't put your fingers around the outer edge. Apparently, if you hit a rut it would take the steering wheel away from you and too many people had broken their thumbs when the steering wheel spokes caught them by surprise.

According to wikipedia, "Gasoline may be used only in an emergency because it does not properly lubricate the injector pump. While using gasoline, common practice calls for the addition of at least 1 U.S. quart of clean motor oil per 15 U.S. gallons of gasoline" Allan OK Don via Mercedes writes: > I wonder what you have to do (if anything) to switch between Diesel and > gasoline? > > On Tue, Dec 1, 2020 at 5:04 PM Mitch Haley via Mercedes < > mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >> I bet 2020 was good to him, at least with help clearing his inventory. >> Mitch >> >> On 2020-12-01 15:47, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: >> > There was a guy in my area that had about 10 of them sitting on a lot >> > for sale.

Anyone here ever drive a deuce and half any distance? It's like herding wild goats in traffic , handles like you are pushing 6 concrete blocks with a piece of rope.. and you need a back brace and ear plugs for a week after you get out.. I can't see why the attraction to ever own one.

Sounds like riding/driving a “real” Hummer. I see the ones that were designed for consumer use and laugh. They’re so far removed from the real thing it’s laughable. A good way to get a couple of herniated discs - riding in the back of a (real) Hummer off road. -D > On Dec 2, 2020, at 1:10 AM, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: > > Anyone here ever drive a deuce and half any distance? > It's like herding wild goats in traffic , handles like you are pushing 6 > concrete blocks with a piece of rope.. and you need a back brace and ear > plugs for a week after you get out.. > I can't see why the attraction to ever own one. > > On Tue, Dec 1, 2020 at 5:45 PM OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: > >> I wonder what you have to do (if anything) to switch between Diesel and >> gasoline? >> >> On Tue, Dec 1, 2020 at 5:04 PM Mitch Haley via Mercedes < >> mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >> >>> I bet 2020 was good to him, at least with help clearing his inventory. >>> Mitch >>> >>> On 2020-12-01 15:47, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: There was a guy in my area that had about 10 of them sitting on a lot for sale.

A buddy of mine used to have a real hummer. I think top speed on that thing was around 55.

Re: [MBZ] OT anyone need a deuce-and-a-half?
Probably a decade or two ago I met a Hummer dealer at a social event in western Pennsylvania. I think his customer base was the strip mining industry. He was amazed that he was starting to get a few suburbanite customers who wanted them for street use. He described the cost to buy, operate and maintain the Hummer of those days as astronomical for highway use. The vehicles were not particularly comfortable or convenient for highway voyages. And the size and capabilities of his Hummers were not appropriate for on-road use.

Only H1 owner I knew was an ER doc in DA UP. I don't know if it was military or consumer model. Had a Suburban 4x4 for everyday driving, H1 was only for when the Doc must get through, and the 4x4 Chevy couldn't hack it. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
