The Omega Concern's M1151 is a model and simulation of the United States military's High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), which is colloquially known as the Humvee.
The M1151 is an Enhanced Armament Carrier, fitted with add-on armor and an armored cupola turret with mounted M2HB 50-caliber belt-fed machine gun. Fast, highly maneuverable, able to be operated by owner or guest to transport up to five passengers and get them there - and back - in one piece.
State of the art, 100% original modeling optimized for the Second Life system with advanced scripting, using only 480 kB of region resources - meaning smooth border crossings and nearly zero lag.
Three menu selectable camouflage schemes: NATO Woodland, Desert and Black, complemented with user-customizable insignia.
Adjustable driver and gunner positions to fit any avatar.
OCS and LLCS Damage Compatible.

The best humvee I could find on SL
While the driving experience may not be on par with the top end RP cars you can find on SL, Its still decently good.
What i think...
Lets start with the good: It looks good.
Good having that over with
Driving: It doesn't feel like driving a car at all. Its like you're floating around with an bath ring in a pool...
gun sound: horrible!
vehicle sound: Decent!
interior: poor!
outside: good!
AWESOME!
It's the greatest looking vehicle around, a bit hard to steer in higher gears and stopping is kind of difficult. I'd have given it 5 stars, but the doors don't open at all..however if you mouseview it you'll see how unbelievable the detail of the interior is!! Great buy!!
Great Hummer
I truly enjoy the Hummer. The drive is better then any SL vehicle on the market. The design is awsome and very realistic. I like the fact that you can put your own insignia on the back. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I am an estate manager on my land and have a compound built but I cant leave my Humvee parked in front of my pillbox because I am not an owner of the land. That would be the only suggestion I can make for it. Otherwise it would definitely be a 5 star review. If you dont have one of these or you went with some other design you should rethink it and buy one of these. They are great.
The Best You'll Find
I promised myself I wouldn't post any further reviews, I've even removed some. However, I felt compelled in this case. Besides, I rarely keep any promises I make to myself.
Someone I know once said that there's really only about 0.1% true content creators in SL. If that's true (I concur that it is, btw), then April Heaney is one of those select few. Not only is she one of them, she's right up there at the top.
Her M1151 HMMWV is stunningly realistic. You need to take your time and walk around it, look at it closely. The detail is absolutely second to none. The looks were enough for me to warrant purchasing one. I'm more of a collector than anything else. Though, rest assured, for those of you that also want a realistic driving experience, it will provide you with that as well.
Oh, but what about your buddies that want to man the .50 while you're at the wheel? They'll be quite pleased also. As with every other TOC weapon, this one will provide you with plenty of pew-pew goodness.
Any other questions before you purchase one of your own? Read the other reviews. To date they're all five stars, go figure!
