WINTER SAFARI // HUMMER DRIVING ACADEMY

As the closing month of summer approaches, leaving us with cloudy days and rainy nights (at least here in the NW), what better way to shake off those winter blues than an off road safari? Well, if you are in the mood (and not too eco conscious), GM is launching its first 'HUMMER Driving Academy.' an event that will take place in Morocco from November 7-12, 2008. The ‘Academy’ will march a fleet of some 14 Hummer H3’s on an 800 mile route, through Morocco and to include a portion of the Sahara Desert. 14 teams, consisting of driver/co-driver pairs, will navigate the terrain of Morocco utilizing nothing more than a stock 3.7 Liter, five cylinder H3, a set of desert tires and some GPS satellite navigation. The 'HUMMER Driving Academy' will run you $5,870 for the pair, including the use of vehicles and hotel accommodations. More info can be found here // 08.29.2008
