WTH? This is the opposite of the normal type of scale modeling, a 3:1 scale-up of the already large Hummer H2. Eccentric show vehicles like this are a hobby of Sheikh Hamad Al Nahyan of Dubai, who has several such replicas. One I have seen is a 2:1:replica of an early 50s Dodge Power Wagon pickup. The original is an iconic vehicle in that part of the world for its ubiquitous use in early oil exploration. I have a Dodge M-37, which is basically.a military version of the 1954 Power Wagon. It is a lot of fun and surprisingly good on gas, a consequence of its modest engine power (96 hp) and the complete absence of power-gobbling frivolities like power steering, automatic transmission, and air conditioning. I had the final drive changed so it could reach 70 mph without redlining the pushrod 6 engine.

Car inflation is a deadly and stupid vicious cycle that will only end in more pedestrians and cyclists dying. I hate it here.
