Hummer

The name for an SUV brand originally designed for military use but later changed for civilian purposes after Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted one.

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV; colloquial: M998 Humvee) The military Humvee was originally used in the army such as the Iraq War.

For a very brief period, a civilian version was sold as the 1996 AM General Hummer for a few years before AM General sold the rights to General Motors (GM) so that GM could sell the civilian SUV.

GM created a new division named Hummer where it produced the H1 model (based off of AM Generals '96 civilian model). GM also made the smaller H2 and H3 models before the 2009 economic crisis forced GM to cut the Hummer, Pontiac, and Saturn.

Recently in 2021, GM reincarnated the Hummer, not as a division but this time as a vehicle model through the GMC division. It will be sold as a staggering 9000lb electric suv and electric pickup as a huge middle finger to the angry treehuggers that used to vandalize the vehicle out of jealousy when they would pass by it.

Person 1: Dude this EV Hummer kicks ass, now I can watch Mad-At-Gas-Car treehuggers on my portable TV while driving.

Person 1: Hahahahah those animals are so fucking funny, they make me want to merge without looking.
