Tribute

This is what you do when you lose a loved one in war. This woman lost her son and had this done to honor him.There were 10 in his company that died from the same bomb. He was due to return home shortly after this.

WOW, that thing is pretty impressive.

The detail is amazing!
Such a shame she lost her son though :(

The paint job would have cost 25,000 dollars but the company that did the job only charged for the paint which still came to 3,000 dollars.

dont want to be a downer, but that car, err hummer, err crap thing, only gets like 16-20 mpg, shes slowly adding to the destruction of the environment, it probably would have looked better on a smaller more efficient vehicle, maybe, either that or a van, a big one, like one of those 15 person ones. could of had like an entire battallion on one side and the bombing of iraq on the other. . .

I agree that that isn't my first choice in vehicles, but she probably chose the Hummer due to its military roots :thumb:

I remember that. My mom got it in an e-mail. Nice paint job, bad news to hear about the guy

If that...My dads GMC Envoy only gets about 14MPG and its a SUV!

I agree with Blake I think she probably chose it because of the military ties. I don't know how much she'll drive it anyway. I can see this thing being on display more than being driven.
