You know they didn’t have their match in a boxcar.

An old man crashed his car into a very expensive automobile.

The owner of the automobile told him: “Give me $10,000 cash or I’ll beat you to a pulp.”

The old man says: “Hang on, I don’t have that much cash. Let me call my son who trains dolphins.”

Old man rings his son, but before he gets to speak, the car owner grabs the phone from him and tells his son: “So you’re a dolphin trainer? Come here with $10,000 cash or I’ll whip your father’s a$$.”

Son says: “Okay, I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

The son arrives in a Hummer, and out come a bunch of other guys and beat the crap out of the expensive car owner.

Son tells his old man: “Dad, I train Navy SEALs, not dolphins.”

Don’t tell me jasonsnakelover has given up on the Sheikh’s name.

A wealthy Middle Easterner (I don’t recall from which nation), a man in his 30’s 0r ’40’s, once caused the building of a similar oversized civilian Power Wagon (the famous Dodge 4WD, 1 ton, pick-up truck, a circa 1950 model). Gordon Maney published a small article about the truck in an issue of the (now defunct) “Power Wagon Advertiser” about 20 years ago.

By the way, the military HMMWV (pronounced Humvee), the military prototype version of the civilian first version Hummer is only a Power Wagon wannabe. The two later Hummer models don’t rate at all, except maybe, as trophy version toys.

The HI X3 Hummer gets seven gallons a mile. But then when you have your own oil field, who cares?

Why would you want a vehicle that can’t drive on most roads?

WOW! And I thought the guys in the F350s were compensating for something.

Aw, geez! The gas mileage of that Hummer must be atrocious!

The good sheik failed to mention the Kevlar door panels, bullet resistant glass, and anti-mine underbody armor.

Billionaires are different from you and me.

So, the girdled lizard is the original hoop snake?

of COURSE a Sheikh would be the type of person to have a giant compensation mobile, dear god that guy must be TINY down there…

I thought the ouroboros was a mystical symbol, not a real-life animal?

Now if Minoru and Sanshiro had their match on top of the bullet train as it was running, that would have been unbelievable!

He must be compensating for a major physical shortcoming to want to feel that big!

Do ya think the sheik is compensating for something!?

When I was working at the jail, I noticed many female deputies owned huge jacked-up pick up trucks. Some of them needed a ladder to climb into them.

“12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,65 tons of American Pride!Canyonero! Canyonero!”

Pfft. We’ve had fights on the NYC subway for years

small hummers are stupid enough. But that one is stupid grande.
