There's nothing better to get to work in the morning after a huge overnight snow storm. Leave the snow shovel in the garage and take a "High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle".... or in military slang, the Humvee. This first generation civilian model was released by AM General in 1992 and was branded the "Hummer". The first engine on the civilian model was 6.2 liter GM diesel V8 with a 3 speed automatic with later option included a GM 4 speed automatic or an Allison 5 speed auto. The interior was designed similar to GM semis. I love the massive engine bay that has more "NO STEP" warning labels that a B-1 bomber. Model by Exoto:

You started it Pal; now it's in my head, I might as well finish it.
Dashing through the snow
in a one-horse open sleigh;
O'er the fields we go
Humming all the way!
Great pics!!

Thanks Rich. It's 96 degrees here today and the snow made it more comfortable.
