    Just a plug for the HMMWV: I picked one up 2 years ago in the same configuration as the one in this contest. I have a dozen military vehicles in my fleet, but this one became my immediate favorite. It has the iconic look and characteristics of a military vehicle but has the amenities of a modern vehicle like power brakes, power steering, and good acceleration. They are modular, and can be re-configured into what you want. In my case, I added the slantback hardtop with turret ring and gun mount on top, and military bucket seats.
    When I fill it, I often get comments from guys that it must guzzle fuel. I reply that it is a Humvee....who cares.

    Whomever wins this will enjoy it. It will not be often that you will wave at another on the road. I have parked mine next to a pink and another in purple Hummers at the Canex. I wouldn't trade mine for both of the others together.

    I couldn’t have said it better. Once I got the humvee I couldn’t help accessorizing it. Rear gun mount, troops seats for the box. They are extremely modular. Out if my military vehicle fleet the humvee has become my favourite and replaced an Iltis as my summer daily driver since last summer. I have put in almost 6000 miles in a year with minor maintenance. Everybody get on this raffle ! Maybe today is your lucky day and its supporting a great cause as well.

    Low chance of actually winning but if I do I have family in Ontario that can claim it luckily. Definitely a crap shoot that lotoquebec puts in so many rules to "protect" quebec from competition... errr I mean fraudulent contests.

    Definitely would spend the extra to convert to a slant back if I won it though.

    Compared to the Willys Jeep it is. Mind you, once the hardtop went on, it was noticeable that the power was down a bit.
    I also have one of the old 1976 5/4 ton gas chevs with the van body on the chassis. It has the amenities like heat, power steering, power brakes etc, but man, does that thing suck fuel. The HMMWV is an economizer compared to the chev.

    You could have a look at the first post where this is explained. Sorry for the inconvenience.
