Air Conditioning:
Individual cooling using air-cooled overalls or vests;
Cabin or spot cooling;
NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) facemask air cooling
quote:Not at all. That’s very helpful. I have been wondering who to talk to about my explosives. The ATF appears to be expanding. Always thought alcohol and tobacco shouldn’t belong to the same group that took care of firearms; the first two being self inflicted forms of death (ATFF – Alcohol, Tobacco and Fast Foods – seems a more natural progression). Now they’ve taken on explosives. Will they become ATFEN if they add nukes, or be more generalized and become ATFEWMD?
Picking nits - ATF now goes by ATFE (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives).
quote:Can’t answer the a/c question, but in Fahrenheit 9/11 there’s an interview with some tank guys and they said they have the ability to listen to a CD. “We will, we will rock you” would be inspiring. Rap music could become standard military issue. In either case, I hope they keep the volume down so they can still receive orders.
of COURSE the civilian version would have air conditioning, but do the current military models have AC?
Misc. civilian-version tank accessories: GPS, parking assist, ABS, automatic transmission, tinted windows, electric hatch openers, automatic door locks, jumper cables, child restraints.
You forgot the cup-holders, Rick.
AC is standard on both Challenger and Abrams MBT's, sunroof is not an option however.
Naturally the CD'd be playing heavy metal.
My guess would be Manowar!

Jabber, my Hummer is a few months old.
Yes, Jabber, I agree. Whenever I am without a Pickup, I always wish I had one!!

You'll get killed on depreciation if you're ready to get rid of it already, unless you didn't buy it new! If you DID buy it used, was it an Ebay-Motors purchase?quote:

Ha Ha!! Coke (liquid variety) came out my nose reading that, although, that could just be me, a *hummer* around here is a very different kettle of fish altogether.
Probably a kettle of blow fish.

I'm still trying to picture Mrs. M. off-roading in a Hummer.
Can you picture me on a Harley Sportster 1200?
The following vehicle was specially designed to transport more troops into the "action":

"War is hell." - Sherman might have said something different if he was Generaling today:
Christine,
Eat your heart out - check out the “Monster-Limo” (I’d post the picture, but my width needs some trimming):

And, they have an office in Arizona!

Hey Mrs. M., if you're gonna ride, you might as well ride in style! 
Rick, that's a Phoenix telephone number. Maybe I'll do some test driving the next time I go to Phoenix.

OK Rick, I think you posted somewhere that you don't mind my Mark Twain quotes. Here's another one that I think explains a lot:
"Let us consider that we are all partially insane. It will explain us to each other; it will unriddle many riddles; it will make clear and simple many things which are involved in haunting and harassing difficulties and obscurities now." --Mark Twain

Viva La Insanity. Why do a partial? Moderation is only for moderates.
Always love Twain quotes.

He had a strong grip on reality.
True. Not unlike Columbus and Fulton, to name a few.
“Reality” is highly subjective – there are some people that think Twain’s books should be banned.
P.S. One of those Hummers in the previous link comes equipped with marble floors - I'd not recommend that.

Rick, Twain was often banned during his own time because he was considered to be too liberal.

Seriously nice looking bike; even if it should happen to be electric powered (I’m not saying it is).

Would a Hummer picture be forthcoming if I said, “Hardly A. Hummer” (both with and without power cord)? That would be *some* power cord. Which has more chrome – the Harley or the Hummer? Is the Harley a recent acquisition? Who drives it? Do you wear a leather Harley jacket in your Hummer? Do you have a tattoo that says, “Born to Raise Retirement Benefits”? If so, where is it (the tattoo)? Inquiring minds.
P.S. Love the bike.

Hmm, well, it is pouring rain right now so I will forgo the Hummer pixs. Yes, I do have a real Harley leather jacket (with fringe), gloves, chaps, and boots! Lets see...no tattoo, but I do ride in nice weather alone, not with passengers. I have had several bikes, Rick over the years. The first one when I was living abroad. Actually, many doctors, lawyers, etc. ride Harleys in the South! Never noticed any tattoos, but tattoos are in, you know. Is it an image thing with you? Personally, I don't intend to come back on this earth again, so, I do want to live life to the fullest! Anything else?..here goes my eyes again.
Harley's dont have the *prestige* they used too (over here anyways). They are a dime a dozen and can be bought for a mere $5k.
In the past 12 mths we have sold 4 and the most expensive one was an 8mth old that sold for $11k.
On the other hand, a V10 Dodge Ram is around $40K (5 yr old) and Suburban's are selling for $110K, converted and under 12 mths old.

Many truck sell here NEW for $40,000 or over. Harleys new, smallest engine, start at around $15,000 and go skys the limit. They are very popular here as are Hondas. Pickup are very popular here too.
