:D :D

But now that they're obsolete, you'll probably be able to pick one up for $15K.

Hey, isn't that what I said? :p

Do you actually have any H1 experience? Your post sounds like you haven't done any real wheel'in with an experienced H1 driver.

I just like re-stating the obvious. Nothing worse than having an obsolete vehicle with no flex that is too wide for the trails and gets passed by H2's all day long, to only find it costs you a fortune to keep it running between breakdowns ;) :D :D[/quote]

F GM!
 
GM's "H1 ALPHA" will cease to be produced. The AM General original "HUMMER" will continue to be produced & sold by AM General.

I drive a civilian variant HMMWV manufactured by AM General that has nothing to do with General Motors! Kill the H1. Long live the AM GENERAL HUMMER.

The 2006 model year will be the last for the H-1, the hulking, gas-guzzling status symbol that has attracted celebrities and off-road enthusiasts but has drawn the ire of environmentalists.
General Motors says it will no longer make the H-1, based on the military?s Humvee. It?s the foundation for the automaker?s Hummer brand, but GM expects it will build the last one next month.
The H-1 has attracted well-heeled drivers looking for a military-style vehicle with an intimidating stance. For the 2006 model year, the H-1 was offered as a high-performance H-1 Alpha that costs between $130,000 and $140,000.
Hummer general manager Martin Walsh says Hummer plans to focus on models with broader appeal instead of the niche-market H-1.
Since taking over the Hummer name in 2000, GM has introduced the still-hefty H-2 and a midsize H-2 sport utility vehicle.
