is the M-ATV really about 28,000 pounds unloaded?

There was discussion of this truck a while back on the CDC when I posted about the Hummer brand being bought by a Chinese company. Got into an argument that how could Hummer, a military vehicle be owned by a foreign government. Long story short, apparently people think GM builds the actual Humvee, not AM General.

Anyway....

I think this truck is already in use......someone posted a picture of one in Iraq.

Both of those things are pretty sick

We got 4 of these about 3 weeks before I left Afghanistan. about 34k lbs. But ours had turrets with .50 cal machine guns and grenade launchers and other cool bang bang stuff

What's hilarious is there have been 2' x 3' foot adds for these things on the DC metro for about 6 months now.  Like someone riding the metro is going to run out and buy one.......(yes I know that they are not aimed at consumers).  Funny how we are now advertising to the gov't workers that OK contracts for this stuff.

So my question is when it going to be available for retail. After seeing that who wants the H1 Hummer

I don't understand why anyone wants either one for personal use. Sure, it's cool and big but it's big. Nobody can afford the gas for either one right now and I've noticed that a lot of the people that buy those things don't know or don't care to maneuver them properly around town and are always cutting corners by extreme amounts, riding or crossing the white line, and taking up 3 parking spaces.

I still think the EM-50 is the Army's best assault vehicle ever:

"Now, are either of you homosexuals?"

"You mean like flaming?"

"Well, it's a standard question we have to ask."

"No, we're not homosexual, but we are willing to learn."

"Yeah . . . Would they send us someplace special?"

"I wish I was a loofah."
