The problem with the Hummer is somebody went out and paid retail for a new Hummer off the factory floor, and then spent another $300,000 on it.

Government Surplus is a great way to get stuff, but that Hummer is not surplus.

But occasionally it pays to buy new.

Chief in our town buys used patrol cars. Go figure.

No, I'm not part of OCSO.

How can you spend ANOTHER $300,000.00 on a Hummer?

Lived for a while in Rochester. Little town there has a retired MP E-8 on PD. He knew how to work the military surplus system. He got them so much stuff it was amazing! Got them to 2 USAF ambulances, commercial, not field duty, both had less then 8,000 miles on them.
