Humvee Purchased - Parents First Impressions Feb 2023

I finally got around to running through some old clips of when I first bought the humvee this year Feb 2023. This was the first time I showed my parents. My dad served in the Marine Corps so I figured he would get a kick out of it.

Already own 2. Just might get a 3rd just because

I completely understand, it’s weird most guys with one, want multiple haha, I’ve got a buddy that owns 6. I like to diversify my vehicles though, currently have a humvee, h3, h3T, z4, mustang, and a corvette. Cheers brother!

Awesome Buddy, what did you pay for it?

[@beurownboss1554]

@@davidgutierrez1705 more than I wanted but it was the setup I was really looking for, 4 speed, 4 man, soft top, hard doors, water fording kit. $28k. You can pick up the older m998 models for cheaper but the 3 speed on those suck for commuting speeds. Cheers!

Slow as fuck. Not UpArmored . No.crew serve gunner station . No combat door locks . So you bought a Military vehicle simply because you think it looks cool ??? As a Civilian???? You coulda bought a used sailing Yachet for $15k . Or a New Jeep wrangler with cheaper required parts.

lol ok I’m going to try and address this comment as best as I can. -slow as fuck (I have a corvette drag car so didn’t need another fast car) -not uparmored (duh, they are demilitarized before released from the base) -gunner station (seriously common man I live in the suburbs lol) - no combat door locks (I’ve got OE x doors with locks. I took them off for this cruise, check my other videos) - looks cool (ya dude everybody and their sister have jeeps, this is something different is way more capable stock for stock against a jeep. Not only that, I bought this to be a father son project with my dad. He is a Marine which is why this vehicle is so cool, it was straight off the marine corps base here in GA. He is retired now and perfect time to have a fun project with me. Also I like the idea of having a vehicle with alternative fuel. I have 6 vehicles at the moment and all are gas except this one. -as a civilian? Not sure what you are asking here. We plan to build it and use for veterans getting married, it will be their get away vehicle for the weddings. My whole family is either Army or Marines so giving back to the veteran community with something fun like this is what I aim to do. -I’ve had boats, don’t care for Jeeps and as you can maybe tell from my channel, buying a humvee doesn’t even cause me to blink financially. It’s a 6th vehicle and like I mentioned before we have really cool plans to do with the vet community here. Not sure what got your panties in such a wad to take the time to write a rude comment on my video like this but maybe this will help explain why I have one. Hope you have a better day, and if you served our country in any branch of the military, thank you greatly for your service, cheers!
