Chevy's New Hydrogen Stealth Vehicle

[OutlawHoss]

As much as I am a Luddite by nature, I am a Chevy man. My Grandmother, her ailing Mom, and her 8 siblings turned a 1929 Chevy Flatbed farm truck into a 'Callistoga', and slowly made their way west, out of the Oklahoma Dust Bowl in 1936. And so it began.
Now, 80 years later, this is the latest Chevy. What a trip, man.

Actually I was far better entertained by the 'Florida Man Jailed for Possessing a Milk Crate'
story, but I did find the link from you're story

My people rowed over here on Viking ships powered by pickled herring.

In that case, they were making their own gas

The Mormons brought half of mine over because they need more warm bodies in Utah.
The other half came up the west coast in armor building Missions.

LOL... why do I suddenly feel the strong urge to go and crank Led Zeppelin's, Hammer of the Gods on the stereo?

My people were here before they came over in boats..

Now what?

"We come from the land of ice cream cones"

Psst, it's actually called Immigrant Song.

My Great-Grand-Parents, parents of the Grandmother I mentioned, were married in front of their Baptist church, while sitting in their buckboard wagon. They came from Mississippi and Arkansas, where their ancestors had lived some 20,000 years by some estimates. We just say that's where we come from (Nanih Waiya, or Mother Mound, Inholitopa iski)

I know that, BUT... Hammer of the Gods..... c'mon!

The driver's forward or rearward view can't be good. Anything less than five feet tall or closer than 50 yards is as good as run over. Aesthetically, it looks more like a kid's RC toy truck than like a tool meant to get *ish done. The art of good design – of form following function – is sorely missed in its exile.

As well as I can figure it. I went to that party with my Dad.
And came home with my Mom?

There may have been a Chevy involved?

I was almost born in a '68 Chevy El Camino on the way to the Hospital. My Dad was a grease monkey and of course it was a 350 sbc, and yellow, much like this:

Those are good points. It's a very specific use design, and what gains in stealth if there isn't a M2 or at least a M60 on a joystick controlled turret involved? And if it breaks down, what the 'ell do I know about hydrogen fuel cells?? Give me a sbc with points and rotor any day. It is fascinating though!

Are they still doing that Dumber Than Monkey Crap thing where you have to tear the whole damn front end off just to change ONE M.F.'ing headlight? (thinking of my mother's '07 Trailblazer, and all the longing it's inspired to chuck it into the crusher...)

Shoulda let Government Motors fail and Mullaly buy the pieces worth saving at fire-sale prices...
