> [B Its only claims to fame are (a) nigh indestructable (which prolly doesn’t count for the SUV version) and (b) nigh un-stoppable (a friend of mine who was in the army said the only time he ever see a Humvee get stuck was when they air-dropped a platoon of vehicles into a field which turns out to have been about a yard deep in mud…). \*\*

I’ll agree that they’re probably indestructable, but they are really easy to get stuck. [stuck hummer](http://www.ffreak.addr.com/stuckhum.jpg) Having a much longer wheelbase sets you up for all kinds of grief.

Please note that they had to get a **real** 4x4 to pull it loose… [wrangler in action](http://www.ffreak.addr.com/stp16.jpg)

And as for the ugliest vehicle I’ve ever seen… The Aztec (Pontiac?)

I believe there are people, probably from other parts of the world who would not consider the Wrangler a **real** 4X4. That title would be a toss-up between the original Toyota Land Cruiser and the Land Rover.

So there.

FTR: the ugliest vehicle out today is the Honda Element, which took the title from the Aztek.

And yes, it is Filter that sings the song on the H2 commercial, the one with the “…and it feeeeeels like…” riff. And yes, it is a great album ( **Amalgamut**.)
