The 14 coolest features of the $113,000 2022 Hummer EV ‘Edition 1’ — GMC’s all-electric ‘super truck’ coming next year

  • For instance, it has a four-wheel-steering feature that lets the vehicle drive diagonally in a move GMC calls a “crab walk.”
  • The Hummer EV Edition 1 boasts front and rear underbody cameras to help drivers tackle challenging terrain and choose the best path over obstacles.
  • They can choose how much torque to send to the front and rear axles, or choose a “terrain mode,” which bumps up the truck’s ride height by 2 inches.
  • It also comes with a transparent roof made of removable panels that can stow away in the truck’s frunk.

Not $50k, fifty dollars.

Some people are wondering where Troy Aikman stands politically. Well, I remember a story he told the Musers one time about some Oklahoma lawmakers recruiting him to run for office. Basically, it turned out they were Democrats and Troy revealed in a subtle manner that he was a conservative. My guess, he’s still conservative at heart but like so many in his party, this administration has disheartened him. Either way, I agree with this statement, “It’s unclear whether Aikman and Buck are against the flyovers or are mocking critics who oppose them.”

The story also states flyovers don’t cost the taxpayer anything, which surprised me. “Flyovers are conducted at no additional cost to the taxpayer and serve as training and meet proficiency requirements for our pilots,” Navy spokesman Lt. Rob Reinheimer told CNN.
