It actually has a parking break too, but I would rather be safe and not destroy the $40,000 government vehicle thus selling the rest of my soul to them. Of course I am going to go off roading in it! I tried to con them into giving me one with either a 50 cal or a TOW missile on top. That was a huge nogo.[headbang] They even gave me a government gas card!

Actually the only thing locking it up is a cable with a padlock around the steering wheel. They had a boot for them, but it proved both to cumbersome, and too time consuming.

I know, I was just kidding around. Still, I find it very amusing that a vehicle that advanced doesn't have a parking brake. I mean, it's got self inflating tires but no parking brake?

I haven't seen any HMMV's with self inflating tire. Only 2 1/2 and 5 tons. The shifting on them blows. There slow as hell. And they have very cramped seating areas. This is a military vehicle we are talking about here. All of the equipment we contract for goes to the lowest bidder. Therefore they are nothing like a civilian H2 or the like. Honestly they are not very impressive at all....oh yeah the torque sucks too.

Ok so they go too slow, they feel like crap, do 1mpg, and cost the earth but they will sure cure the piles of the old grandma in the civic you just pulled out on.[:D]
