No Hummer Jokes Here, Honest

hummer_limo.jpgThe Hummer just isn t an obnoxiously big car driven by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Oh, no, it s a highly-capable combat machine when properly outfitted. Since the next generation of Hummers is still being worked on, the US Air Force has commissioned companies in California to outfit consumer-grade Hummers for military exercises. These limo-style Hummers will stand in for the real war machines during tests and exercises. Retrofitted with networking equipment, computers and radios (and air conditioners—it s hot in the desert!), the Hummers don the traditional camouflage paint. Odds are you probably won t be able to buy these babies at your friendly neighborhood Hummer dealership, though.
