Taking the wheel of a Hummer is surprisingly easy. Aside from that dramatic width, it's pretty easy to drive. The power steering, attached to a tiny airbag-less wheel, is very light. Considering the 37-inch wheels and tires, handling isn't that bad, though the brakes have trouble coping with the massive inertia of 7,000 pounds in forward motion. The tiny seats, separated by a huge, useless hump hiding the drivetrain, are ridiculous.
Visibility is quite good, though, even though the windows are like pillbox slits.
Hummers were, I'm sure, of great value in the Gulf War and Bosnia. They'll go right through sand dunes, and heaven help the enemy force that tries to penetrate their hardened aluminum skins. An obvious transference occurs. Please don't think that way. This thing doesn't belong in civilian guise.
