Awe, who doesn’t love that first car show in the Spring! @Eracer46 organized one heck of a car show in Giddings, Texas and was so gracious to invite my young HMMWV. (I got to go too….). We met up with @texas30cal in route to the car show.

We all know that MVs are herd animals. What may be somewhat of a lesser known fact is that some MVs have a jealous streak. Not long after we adopted the HMMWV (and it started consuming a lot of my attention), the Deuce decided to throw a temper tantrum…. After that, (dare I say) the Deuce...

Conversation at our dinner table last night turned to the question of what’s your favorite holiday. On a quick side note, we had to relocate our dining room table to the garage now that we have a young HMMWV living at home. So back to our conversation… It should come as no surprise that “Take...

Having recently adopted this young HMMWV, I thought that the two of us needed some quality time to bond. And there’s no better way to do that than going on a camping trip. So we hitched-up the tent and hit the road. I mentioned that this girl is tough. She pulled that tent like a champ! As...

No pictures? Who are you and what have you done to @kendelrio ???

I’ll tell you what! This truck likes pizza!

Alright folks! Get up, stretch your legs, take a bio break if needed, refresh your beverage and then hurry back to get comfy on the couch. The chronicles of our adopted HMMWV are about to continue. At the time, I really didn’t appreciate how big of an emotional impact parading through a town...

The day after adopting our young HMMWV, we decided to parade her through town and show her off to everyone. (Secretly, I think my wife was disappointed that the neighbors couldn’t see her after dusk the night prior.) The turnout was amazing! Hundreds (dare I say thousands) of people came out...

On that first evening when we brought the HMMWV home, my wife couldn’t wait to take her around the neighborhood and show all the neighbors. Of course, by that time, it was getting dark and I don’t think the neighbors could see much. 🤷‍♂️ Early the next morning, we began introducing the HMMWV...

Folks! I ran this post through my free internet fact checking app. The app confirmed that every word is true. So, please listen to @chucky and vote for the HMMWV this month!

Hummm… I don’t think so….

Alright… the back story. Grab a seat and get comfy because I’m going back to the beginning. I was traveling back in January and had the pleasure of meeting a good friend (Mr. @fuzzytoaster) for lunch. Said friend may or may not have mentioned that he had several HMMWVs and that I was already...

Ooh! Look at all the big trucks. There’s no denying it… Big trucks rock! But don’t look past the HMMWV! You know at Halloween when they come out with the small candy bars and they call ‘em “Fun Size”? Well, this HMMWV is most certainly Fun Sized! In my short period of ownership, this HMMWV...

I plan to swing by my shop at some point this weekend and can get measurements if no one beats me to it.

Come on in. The water is fine!

Howdy! Welcome to the site. You have a pair of great looking trucks!

I’ll toss my M1097R1 in the mix.

Well shoot… I’m just north of Houston. If you find your way back here give me a shout!

Age doesn’t matter in Texas for FMV registration. My M1097R1 with a 3 speed transmission is titled as a 2006. It is also registered as a FMV, which is a subcategory of the antique registration.
