and one not-so-logical reason.
Hummers were origionally designed for offroading (NOT the H2...it was designed to transport the rich and small-in-the-pants), pickups were designed to haul stuff (which doesn't justify the racing version....but it's better than an offroader.)
Well said. Keep the hummer lowered then I forgot about how it likes to flip.
