Saw a Hummer today with spinners

I was out today taking pictures of my truck because I waxed it, and I was bored.
Anyways, you know after you wax, ya just gotta show everyone.



So then I went to get a coffee at the drive-thru, and saw a Hummer come through with spinners on; it's the first time ive seen spinners in real life.
I happened to take a couple of photos....

The word on the street is that some NHL hockey player owns this truck, many of them spend their summers up here.

Nah, they are actually pretty cool on some vehicles. I dig the weighted 'spinners' that make it look like the wheels are not moving... spookey!!

Is that an H1 or H2?

IMO, the old '93 Hummers were far better... None of this "watered down" Tahoe chasis BS...

That's an H2.

The H1 is still the real deal. For 10K more you get a real Hummer, not a Suburban with a stupit hummer knock-off body.

I took the pictures at RMC (Royal Military College) in Kingston.
Last night they had a big concert on the hill with the Tragically Hip, and the Mathew Good band, so I went down to see what the aftermath looked like.

For 22,000 people showing up for an outdoor concert, there was hardly any litter and no damage, so that's good.

I nearly broke my frikkin neck running down the hill to get to the bottom, you know at first you take a little itty bitty step at a time, and then you make the run for it, and look like a retard as you hit the bottom "didney land, didney land"

They're running a $599/month lease special on HUmmer H2's now.

$599/month for 36 months, and $33,000 balloon.

I wish those So & So's had that special when I bought the '03 Expedition.

I'd take mine in maroon (burgundy), or that same grey as above.

fwiw, THEY have spinning wheels for bikes too... ghey as he*l IMO... they only look "right" on some blinged out lowered/Fast and Furious ricer-type cars.

There are a handful in my area, usually though, they're put on sedans like Nissan Altima's and such! And USUALLY, when the driver gets out, he has a backwards baseball cap and talks like Vanilla Ice circa 1990....

Yeah, that's the situation that spinners don't belong. However, I think they have a place on real custom rides, where the owner has invested time, money, and effort for a truely unique automobile. Not some wannabe jackarse that just blew 6 months pay/life savings/4 months rent/etc.. to put dubs or spinners on his/her hooptie. Morons. Hate the people, not the dubs. That's my motto.
