Most of the HMMWV we see in TV and movies are Civilian ones that they paint to look military. But then again you only see them from afar so they look good from a distance. If I was going to go to the expense of getting a HMMWV I would probably buy an H1 and spend the extra expense to convert it into a military one. This way I would have leagle title to the truck and I wouldn't have to justify to anyone. But as much and I think they are cool, they are just too expensive for my wallet so unless one of you all take pitty on me and give me one of yours...
I don't expect to own one. ![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
On the subject of local and state govs owning them and selling them. I think that most of the time when the local gov sells the truck it is because they haven't read the paperwork that came with it and just assume that it's theirs to sell. After all we are talking about government employees (which I am one so I can say that) and I truly believe that people just don't take the time to read all the documentation and or get a leagle reading of it. On the other hand try getting two lawyers to read the same peice of paper and come up with the same conculsion so there may be some of that going on where the local law director says it's ours to sell screw the feds. Either way the poor sap on the recieving end of said equipment ends up getting screwed. Either in the vehicle being taken from him or having to spend butt loads of money in the courts to keep it.
Just my
on the matter.
