The love affair with the Humvee continues! If you dug our conversation from last week about these iconic “cars,” we have a real treat for you. In this episode, Jason visit with Ian Ipsan continues as they cover design, mechanics and the utility behind these beastly off road machines. If you want to know the reason the Hummer has a squashed flat roof, who is responsible for these vehicles being produced for the public and not just the military (hint – he’ll “be back”), or whether a Toyota Camry would have a racing head start based on length (really?), tune in now!
We cannot tell a lie, we love the Hummer! And so does Ian Ipsan. Ian’s story begins in childhood when he decided he was going to own one of these magnificent machines, no matter what it took. Today, he’s owned three of them! In Part One of this interview, Ian tells host Jason Paynter about his first Hummer acquisition, delves into the history of this iconic vehicle (including where the name came from), and talks some specs like configurations and the differences between military and civilian Humvees. If you love this “car” as much as we do, you’re not going to want to miss this show!
