When I’m browsing through Craigslist, I’m not looking for a new roommate or a new job. I’m looking for a hummer. Unfortunately for me, Craigslist has reached an agreement with 40 state AGs and has decided to tame its infamous “erotic services” listings. Sucks to be the guy looking for “quality” prostitutes online.

When the Attorney General of Connecticut sent a letter to Craigslist demanding that it purge its site of illegal activity, CEO of Craigslist, Jim Buckmaster, agreed. So, what’s Craigslist going to do to keep the hookers out? Craigslist is now asking that advertisers provide valid identification. Erotic services vendors will be charged a small fee for each ad and will be required to use a credit card for the payment. As we all know, hookers have no credit. Problem solved.

Not a lot of information on this incredible mod but as far as I can tell it’s a Hummer H2T (the pickup truck model of the H2) modified with a cool black/green paint job and tank treads. These tracked belts actually work, meaning you could scale some serious mountains with this bad boy. Unfortunately, there’s no word on top speed, meaning this Hummer could be slower than Ryan on a skateboard.

Don’t fuck around on the green? Want to show that prick in accounting that you really mean business? Then stop playing with your cock and head over to Bad Ass Golf Carts. For $12,000 to $18,000, you can own a golf cart that’s more equipped for a trek across the Sahara rather than teeing off.

There’s several choices available. Need seating? Grab a limo that seats six. Consider yourself the greatest American to ever live? Grab the Hummer model. Now if only you could get a little nitrous going on these bad boys…

From the inflatable to the perverted, we’ve seen it all when it comes to R/C powered toys. But what about for that one rich snobby bastard kid in every city who seems to have it all? The Remote Controlled Hummer is probably not something that little brat got under their Christmas tree last year.

Yes, it is a full sized hummer. Fully capable of mowing down a small crowd of elderly couples and nuns, or even encasing a full night club. It’s probably not the best idea to allow a child to control a full-scale Hummer (without it being made out of some sort of pliable material), seeing as anyone else being behind the wheel needs to have something called a ‘driver’s license’. And anyone willing to spend £30,000 (around $60,300) on their child’s Christmas gift needs to have their head examined, or at least provide sufficient armor. — Andrew Dobrow

A nightclub on wheels should be no surprise in the day of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Laziness in return for luxury is becoming the norm around the A-List teeny-boppers, and a Hummer night club couldn’t make that any clearer unless then Hummer fell flat on your head (which would also hurt pretty bad).

The Triple Axle 8 Wheel Hummer is packed with two compete VIP lounges, dance floors and disco balls, gullwing doors, and a Level 5 sound system capable of bouncing the Hummer up and down like some hydrolyzed Celica. For £350 ($700) an hour, it’s no cheap ride, but it might be worth not losing your buzz as you drive from club to club. Take the jump for interior shots. (more…)

Simply called “The Wheel” by RevoPower, the product manages to squeeze in a small 25 cc two stroke engine which is said to be able to accelerate a bike to 20 mph over flat ground, while offering 100 miles to the gallon. While not the optimal amount of emissions for a tree hugger, it sure as hell is healthier then driving a hummer.

The two stroke tank runs off of gas mixed with oil, and to save room, the water bottle holder no longer holds a beverage, but your gas tank. Just remember not to drink out of the tank. That could be bad unless you’re some mutant humanoid who runs off of petroleum. The wheel will cost between $400 and $500 and is planned for release in the spring of this year. If you want to moderate your gas consumption, the wheel is usable without using the motor, yet its heavy weight of 12+ lbs would make it one exhausting ride. — Andrew Dobrow

Ready for an inherit contradiction? Here you go: a Hummer electric bike. It cannot possible, it goes against everything HUMMER stands for (killing the ozone, looking rich…). There is no way that HUMMER made this, right? Well, yes, that is right because this is a homemake custom bike. This custom bike features the very powerful Cyclone electric motor to propel the bike once you get going. The max speed of this eco-friendly bike is 20mph, which isn’t bad at all considering that you wouldn’t go much faster than than if you tried to on your bike. According to the engine and gear system’s website, the Cyclone has great battery life, great torque for going up hills, and will work with the existing gears. Video after the jump.
