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.

Speaking of Bill Armstrong and Armoured Vehicles, he got Seminole County Sheriff an Armored Car, that can withstand an RPG round, its about as safe as an M-1A1 Tank.

This vehicle would be safe on the streets of Baghdad, complete with V hull and anti mine protection.

He got it Free from the Army and had it overhauled at the Orange County VoTech Center.

Total cost of it running and in service with a Brand New Diesel overhaul, about $11,000.

I don't know why anybody would think the Hummer is a good vehicle for SWAT, you cannot carry any body in it, the Transmission is at your Waist, and very uncomfortable to drive.
