A specially made Hummer H2 is the personal car of King Abdullah of Saudi. Wish I had 45 cent gas like he does.
The article was followed by the one you posted. I have owned two H2s and I wouldn't be without my current '06 H2! Hello to all of you fellow Hummer people from the upstate NY....and I just love to drive my Hummer in Manhattan. Your Hummer forums have the least amount of kids on the computer BS on them and the most factual and interesting Hummer information. Cabs never cut off Hummers, take my word for it.
Interestingly, the online article did not appear in all of the weekend final sections. Pressure from somewhere???

Welcome aboard!
