Ultimate Tough Guy Cars: Hummers
When you think of Arnold Swarzenegger, what do you think of? Politics aside, muscles, muscles and more muscles probably top the list. A star of action films long before he became governor of California, Arnold is known for his muscle-bound exterior and his heavy-handed strength. It seems only natural that this buff and tough guy would drive military-grade automobiles. Arnold Swarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, own eight Hummers, vehicles once used exclusively by the armed forces. Swarzenegger calls the Hummer "an incredibly precise and forceful machine." You would expect nothing less for the Terminator. In recent years, Arnold's political affiliations have brought on a more environmentally conscience mindframe. First, he sought to have his Hummers coverted to hydrogen power. Recently, though, he vowed to give up his beloved cars in a move to save the environment.
Despite their gas-guzzling tendencies and the current trend of going "green," many stars are proud to be seen in their rugged Hummers. Other celebrities driving the tough guy (or gal) vehicles include:
•Reggie Bush, NFL player and Heisman Trophy winner
•Tony Stewart, NASCAR winner
•50 Cent, rapper
•D'Angelo, R&B singer
•James Cameron, movie director
•LeBron James, NBA player
•Shaquille O'Neal, NBA player
•Coolio, rapper
•Adrien Brody, actor
