Uh, who cares? Unless you own the land, you can hardly go off-roading anymore anyway. Restore an old Jeep. Build a tube-frame off-roader. Buying a pretentious, luxurious poser vehicle that is used 99% of the time on MTV or sitting in a parking lot in Brentwood is not off roading. It's 'Hey look at me!', nothing more. A real off-roader wouldn't be caught dead in a Hummer. Jeep, International, Willys....they're 'pure. Hummer is a joke. 'Pure' off roaders don't come with leather, A/C and power windows.

Let it die with dignity, don't wait until it's a punch line or there's some website where people diss it....oh, wait it's too late. Kill it, kill it now.
