- carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -13/+288the h2 wasn't designed to be anything but a penis compensator anyway. the model t on the other hand was built to last and was designed for a world without paved roads.
- Kenzan, on 10/10/2007, -4/+158That's right!
You damn kids think you're so smart!..what with your bubble gum..and..and your music...and your make-out-parties..
Why I remember when I went to see ol' Henry Ford himself....I had an Onion tied to my belt..(It was the style at the time..) and......
(ZZZzzzZZZZzZzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......) - witcompe, on 10/10/2007, -9/+105Meanwhile, the H2 used 4 gallons of fuel to climb the hill and the Model T... barely a sip.
- HarryBauzonia, on 10/10/2007, -4/+86Skip the blog. Here's the link to the article.
http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2007/0813/112a.html - otheruser, on 10/10/2007, -12/+94Basically, Hummers are retarded.
- chase001, on 10/10/2007, -9/+65Like what get keyed and have it's tires slashed?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+44Ok, wait. I just read this aloud after the edit was gone. He wasn't KILLED by a model-T he lost to one.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+41My friend who drives an RX-8 was killed by a Model T in a quarter mile race, i don't think the model T's engine was stock though. It was still a good laugh.
- com2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33They really are a Pussy magnet cause thats all I ever see driving them.
- agrabob, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37fast up a hill(or towing lots of weight) means lots of tourqe, which is what trucks are expected to have.
- ImOnlySleeping, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37I'd love to see an H1 do some of the stuff it can do instead of taking up two spots at the grocery store
- ButterBuddha, on 10/10/2007, -4/+35its not surprising...I mean the model T has an advantage in the power to weight ratio...
- CMiYC, on 10/10/2007, -7/+35This Model-T was modified with a 100HP engine. Out of the factory, the car only had something in the neighborhood of 20hp.
Still makes for a funny story though. - ghm101, on 10/10/2007, -8/+32get the ***** blown out of it in bagdad?
- PleaseBeSerious, on 10/10/2007, -3/+26Maybe the H2 had to stop halfway up and fill up?
- jcaino, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24this wasnt just a plain-jane model T, it was a speedster w/ 100+hp, essentially an old-school street rod (model A engine parts, etc)
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Nope, the model T was built to be cheap. That's also not a real vintage model T as they had a 20hp engine that ran on 40 octane gasoline.
- TravisG5, on 10/10/2007, -14/+33I'd love to see a Model T do some of the stuff a real Hummer (H1) can do.
- kcpwnsgman, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22No, those are HMMWV's (Humvees) much different than the civilian counterpart.
- aedes, on 10/10/2007, -5/+23drive kids to soccer maybe? absent mindedly run other cars off the road? ride up over the curb so they can park on the grass?
- zlintux, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Note that the pussy you attract will cost more than the H2, and may be be diseased
- nublet, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18im not surprised, those h2's are junk.
- Sp0rAdiC, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19fta - "Le Fever's speedster had 100hp, rather than the Model T's customary 20."
Not quite as great, but still... - FullBleed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Yeeeeeeeah... That really could have used some clarification.
For a second there, I thought you were an emotionless *****. - kcpwnsgman, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17at first I thought they were talking about the military Humvees, but I wasn't at all surprised when I found out it was an H2...
- mcprogrammer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16Except the 100-year-old car had a 100hp engine instead of the original 20hp.
- dsanonline, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17The H1 Hummer was great. With a little work and a few modifications, it was awesome. Sadly it's not made anymore.
- compgeek, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17it may have been a modified what amounts to dirt racer but it's still 1930's tech beats 2003 tech H2 is a pussy hummer anyways
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17Only if you're talking about the vehicles. Hummers are great otherwise...
- durgil, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14fyi.... should 'have' used.
- ajgv, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15people keep making that argument. yeah, the hummer is 6500 lbs and the model t is 1200 so the horse power is better utilized, but THAT is the point! the hummer is too ***** big!!!!!!!!!!!
/drunk - ziki, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Oh I didn't know digg had female visitors
- grakker, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I live in Orange County, CA and see ***** H1's at the grocery store all the time.
- Punch405, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10A high quality vehicle for off-road, through and through.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4R2TZhpbVA - Toast1185, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9That's why I love digg. I spend just a few minutes in the comment section and figure out that this story isn't nearly as interesting as I thought it was.
- WorldLeader, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14Land Rovers are the undisputed kings of off-road driving.
Just ask the US military training in Australia, they had to always have their hummers pulled out of the mud by the much smaller Aussie Land Rovers. - Teej, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I don't know why Chase is getting dugg up, and Travis is getting buried.
The H1 is the serious ***** Hummer, which is actually designed to go off road and do things SUVs are supposed to do.
The H2 which Travis is talking about is the gas-guzzling, pathetic attempt at a penis extension which GM had so unfortunately given birth to. - whataboutdave, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Yeah, but it's practically on bicycle tires. Pretty amazing in my book.
- Johnagain, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8"If you are driving a HumVee around a desert somewhere in service to our country, I would like to offer you my sincerest gratitude. If you are driving a Hummer around LA or Seattle, I would like to put my foot up your ass"
- original author unknown - theholycow, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9You are correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T
The winning vehicle has 5 times as much power as it did when it rolled off the assembly line.
So, which vehicle would win if the hummer also had 5 times its original power? 1500hp would make it climb that hill pretty fast... - whataboutdave, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Especially against a vehicle almost 100 years older than it is.
- bradallen18, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11too far. lol
- TheUngod, on 10/10/2007, -7/+13but...the Hummer can kill a group of gypsy's going 40 MPH, plus it has a pussy magnet
- TravisG5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I think you are still thinking of the H2
- Enfenestrate, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8If you read the whole article on forbes you'll see that this wasnt a 1909 Model T, the one that most people think of when they hear "Model T" and the one pictured in the blog article. This was essentially a car built for speed. It has 100 horsepower and only has to move about half a ton of weight.
It's still impressive that a car from the early 20's can beat one from the 21st century at all, regardless of what makes and models are involved. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Roads? Where we're going we won't need roads
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6@orxor
someone can't read very well - TremorX, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7The Hummer guy can always just blame the Model T for tearing the trail up with its big beefy mud tir--- oh, wait.
- 883XL, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Yeah and I drive an '84 Volvo to compensate for my behemoth of a penis.
- tastypastry, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Correction. H2's and H3's are lame. H1's kicks ass.
