Arnold Schwarzenegger

He bought the first Hummer manufactured for civilian use in 1992, a model so large, 6,300 lbs and 7 feet (2.1 m) wide, that it is classified as a large truck and U.S. fuel economy regulations do not apply to it. During the Gubernatorial Recall campaign he announced that he would convert one his Hummers to burn hydrogen. The conversion was reported to have cost about US$21,000. After the election, he signed an executive order to jump-start the building hydrogen refueling plants called the California Hydrogen Highway Network, and gained a U.S. Department Energy grant to help pay for its projected US$91,000,000 cost. California took delivery the first H2H (Hydrogen Hummer) in October 2004.
People in Thal celebrated Schwarzenegger's 60th birthday by throwing a party. Officials proclaimed A Day for Arnold on July 30, 2007. Thal 145, the number the house where Schwarzenegger was born, belonged to Schwarzenegger and nobody will ever be assigned to that number.
On February 12, 2010, Schwarzenegger was the 18th runner on the 106th day the Vancouver Olympic Torch relay. His leg was along the Stanley Park Seawall, and he exchanged a "torch kiss" with the next runner, Sebastian Coe.
