26. April 2008
Avis has an amusing new commercial featuring a minivan that is jealous of its owner’s rental experience with a HUMMER H3. Though, I’m sure some of those rental H3s have more fun than others. Enjoy the clip!

My alarm clock went off at 3am this past Saturday morning. It was time to get ready for my ride in the #8111 HUMMER H2 SUT piloted by Josh Hall of Team HUMMER. After I zipped up my race suit (which I was told gave me an edge of 15 seconds over an inferno) and [...]

Yesterday, Team HUMMER and Rod Hall Racing had an extremely successful day at the Terrible’s Town 250, making a complete sweep of the three stock-class races, and a strong finish in the safari-class.

18. April 2008
Today’s contingency festivities allowed folks like Rod Hall, the top dog at Team HUMMER, a chance to meet and greet some fans and members of the media. But now that today is almost over – it’s time to think about the start of the Terrible’s Town 250 that starts early tomorrow morning. Since Josh Hall’s [...]

18. April 2008
The purpose of a pre-run event in any off-road race is so racers and their crew can get an idea of what they’re for in the next day or two. Today was the pre-run for the Terrible’s 250 – and I was along for the ride with Team HUMMER. The actual race trucks aren’t typically [...]

15. April 2008
Tomorrow is day one of my trip to Primm, NV to race alongside Josh Hall in Team HUMMER’s racing H2. Primm is located about 45 minutes southwest of Las Vegas, and is the home to a few hotels, a huge outlet mall, and nickel-slot-loving Californians who are too lazy to drive all the way to [...]

12. April 2008
I normally don’t get into politics on the site, but when they intersect with HUMMERs, there has to be exceptions, right? Hillary Clinton met with a group of about 50 AM General workers at the HUMVEE plant in Mishawaka, IN earlier today. The HUMVEE plant is currently running at full production, unlike the AM General’s [...]

One week from today I’ll be hopping on a jet and heading to Nevada for this year’s running of the Terrible’s 250. Seeing this race in person would be exciting enough, but seeing the race from inside Team HUMMER’s 2008 SUT takes on a whole new level of excitement. I’ll be witnessing the race firsthand [...]
