Default Driving Acadamy Vids.... Mucho Flexo!!!

Finally completed the Lynch Hummer Driving Acadamy today.. We had an absolute blast!!! We had wonderful weather and even had a special guest ride with us today as well.

Alec Cumming (National Operations Manager for AM General) was along for the ride with us today. What a great guy! I feel honored to have spent the day with him and attempt to gain some of his vast knowledge. I can tell you for a fact, this man LOVES his job and more importantly, LOVES Hummers! He told me he checks this site from time to time. If you read this Alec, THANK YOU for your kindness and great attitude.

Now for the vids. One from the outsideand one from the inside...

I will post some pics of Alecs H3 he brought with him to Lynch as soon as they are done uploading.

Enjoy!

Cool Jeremy! Sounds and looked like a lot of fun

Nice vids.




I'm not too crazy about about the bumper on his H3. Does not look like it matches the rest of the vehicle IMO.

Nice videos reminds me of the Driving Academy that HUMMER puts on. It is a little costly but a real treat, here's a little vid of the moguls at their course:

This was last October in South Bend, IN it snowed the first day we where there.

Very nice......

I hate to be rude, but my curiosity has gotten the better of me: $$ ?

Also, in your opinion....

Was the fun/learning worth the $$ spent ?

Would you reccomend this to anyone else?

(For the record, I am jealous.....Looks like you had a great time....)

If you check on HUMMER's website for the H3 it is something like $2000 for the driver and $600 for a guest.That includes all food, hotel, transportation, and tons of free swag...your treated like a king. I would recommend it for anyone that hasn't been offroad. The amount of knowledge you get is worth it. The people there are great and once you go your invited to attend the reunion every year, it is held someplace different (last year was Moab, this year there at The Homested). You actually get to drive on the same courses that the military use to learn how to drive their Hummers. More info at the Hummer website. If you need more info email or pm me. They even give you a cd full of photos that they take while your there it hasd something like 500+ photos on it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah…..That’s it…….SAFETY TRAINING…….[sm=badbadbad.gif][sm=badbadbad.gif][sm=badbadbad.gif]

All Jokes aside, thanks for the info Trey.....I'll have to look into it for a long term goal.
