I had started to build a hummer ages ago, but gave up (the windows I used
forced it to be 8 wide, and I just couldn't quite make it look right.

Mine is approximately the same scale as my 8 wide vehicles...the Hummer is a
very wide vehicle, after all.
Yeah, I noticed that; what I meant was looking at yours and Jay's really
make me want to go 1-2 wider, but I can't really because then it'd be wider
than my semi's!

Hmm, yah, I guess they are a couple millimeters bigger.  But they look like
car tires, not truck tires.
Oh, I thought I had implied that along with the small Technic wheels, I also
meant the wheels from 'Grip n go Challenge'. They are the same diameter as
the 30.4 Technic wheels, but 'truck' tires.

If you're lucky enough, maybe someone will donate/sell 4 classic 4 stud
diameter wheels to your cause.

With gray tires, eh?   I think those wheels wouldn't look very good,
unfortunately.  I'm beginning to sound awfully anal, huh?
(LOL) who here ISN'T? And they came with black ones (or at least you could
fit the tires from the red-spoked wheels onto them; either way not grey tires)

Wow, how can they claim those are building sets?

At least they look like Humvees :) Do the wheels even come off?
The wheels come off; can't remember how well they fit technic pegs (but I
remember them fitting)
