>> Anyone who asks me about surplus military Humvees receives the following
>> response:
>> "AM General Corporation, manufacturer of the M998 Series, High Mobility
>> Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV, or Humvee(r)), does not endorse or
>> support the sale of these vehicles to the general public or private
>> entities. AM General further opposes any use of these military vehicles
by
>> individuals or entities outside of the military context for which the
>> vehicles were designed. AM General Corporation does not sell the military
>> vehicle or service parts for the military vehicle to the general public."
>>
>> A search of my e-mail files indicates that I sent this statement to one
>DMV
>> (Florida) in response to a request for information about a specific
>military
>> vehicle. I only make the quoted statement in response to queries.
>>
>> It should be readily apparent why AM General takes this position on
