You could probably go back there once every couple weeks and find something new; they're always changing it up on Instagram. Surprised you didn't catch their white Countach.

Everything else was a bonus, he was literally on there to lay a stiff sock on the interior of the one:juan.

I hate that H1.

I love that H1.

It's a shame that it doesn't have the .50 cal mount in the back to make the boom-booms instead of those bolt on speakers.

I love that it's an H1, and I hate that someone put bags on what is an extremely capable off-road vehicle. To me it's like somebody "stancing" a GTR.

I respect that its not my car and the owner can do what they want with their money, but ugh.

Austin catches lots of white stuff.

Exactly. Air is the best of both worlds.

Just because its a Hummer why does the person have to feel obligated to jack it up with huge ass mudders on it with a Confederate flag hanging out the window??

I'm asking because I geniuinely don't know. Now that I have a NSX to drive up to such a dealership in, I'm sure I'd be taken seriously at such a place now upon arrival, but I'm honestly scared to approach someplace more high-end than a Porsche dealer.
With this kind of truly FU money (1mil+ cars) it definitely can raise the bar and make them take you as a potential buyer vs another ogler who just want to enjoy the photos/presence of these exotic art pieces. Though a NA2 NSX may be quite pedestrian with the kind of clientele these kinds of dealerships must deal with regularly.

It's truly insane to imagine the kind of lives/cars you can live/drive in this kind of customer base. Plopping 2-5M on a car no problem? Damn.....

Honestly, first time I've seen a slammed H1. Definitely not my cup of tea but whatever floats their boat. Initially, I think of either a rapper/pro-sport kind of person owning/modding a H1 like this....

#AllCarsMatter !



edit: looking at that H1 again....are those speakers on the back outside pillar things?

Also that piece of land must be one of the most expensive to insure/most expensive assets sitting by per square feet...

Again, it's his truck, his money, I don't care. But it's like those guys that spend $3k+ on coilovers, have forged wheels, yet actively knock on people who buy "fake wheels", goatse-level stretched tires, and never, ever hit the track or autocross.

Capable of looking down on everyone else? Yeah, sure. With their massive 2-liter Coke-sized penors.

Just because somebody wants to lift a truck to make it off-road capable doesn't mean they're a yellowneck redneck. To me, putting bags on an H1 is not much different from this:

Yes. But it's worth it.

Costco is good. I like going to Costco.

In my opinion, there were lot more cars I'd rather own than that H1. But even then you could reverse all the mods on that H1 and make it into its original badass days. Of course whatever floats their boat. But having OUTSIDE speakers on a slammed H1 seems like someone who likes to create some attention with their ride...and likely not as appreciated as the owner think others would

The H1 did catch my eye instantly though. And I honestly liked it, aside from the top and speakers

I think if it were at regular ride height with less ridiculous track, I wouldn't have batted an eye

Bro...within 10 seconds it could have been...
what woulda been funny is a video where he's driving down the road and while sipping his hennessey accidentally drops the fenders onto the tires. Because I'm pretty sure I can tell there's no clearing those fenders...I think he was showing that the fenders rest on the tires.

Beautiful cars. Thanks for sharing.

I have to agree with some I do actually liked the bagged H1

Love the stance and wheels on the M4 too.

During the 4 months I spent in Miami, my place was within walking distance of this dealership. I used to LOVE walking there when I had the time. Thanks for the pictures!!
