he bought a Humvee. I don't know what to buy now to out do him. And I don't want a semi or dump truck because, really now, I have to be practical.

How to out-do him?
-------------------------
Buy the Z78-337K|
It has six wheels with traction control.
A nuclear reactor is the main power-plant, generating super-heated gas that runs the main drive turbine|
The drive turbine powers a generator, which in turn powers traction motors, in which there is one on each of the wheels|
Such a set-up has the effect of an infinite transmission|
You can start moving from a dead stop at full power|
It can do 440 mph on a stretch, but you would want to open it up only on the salt flats|
It also has *regenerative braking,* where when you hit the brakes, the traction motors on the wheels become generators, the power that they generate puts a load on them, which in turn slows down the vehicle, and the power generated goes to a battery that charges, that stores extra power, that assists the generator when it wishes to accellearate the car at a later time, thus taking the load off the generator (modern subway systems use this scheme of regenerative braking| The subways get power from the third rail to run them - at 600 amps DC| But when they slow down, the motors are converted to generators - since almost any motor can be used as a generator and vice-versa - when the motors thus act as generators, the energy that they produce puts a mechanical load on them causing them to act as a brake for the subway, thus slowing it down| The power thus generated is fed back into the third rail that can be used by another subway which is accelleating)|
It is a kind of neat way of recycling energy|

Here's an idea: Choose a vehicle that gives you pleasure and forget about what your neighbor is doing.

How about an XT? It's a "bit" bigger.
And get it some balls. THEN you'll see who's da man.

If you're that insecure, buy a deuce and a half or a tank. I recommend the tank, that way you can squish his hummer.

Wow...just when I thought us Americans couldn't find a stupider way to blow our money...
Um, how 'bout you buy a new car when you need one, instead of to outdo your neighbor? Because buying a car to outdo your neighbor is about the LEAST practical you can get. Duh.
