[AT] smoking/gas bottles, now O.T.

[Mark Greer]

Around here we call H2 Hummers "girlie" trucks. I think they're over-rated.
You will see more women driving them than men around here. If I was in the
market for a beast 4WD the H1 would be the logical choice since the H2 and
H3 are just dressed up yuppie SUV's. I'd really like to have a UNIMOG. Now
that is a neat truck.
