Who has done this when they first got their H3?
OK, probably more for the manual trans owners (like me now)...
First night. I parked for a while. It's dark out. Start the truck, release the parking break and the hood opens!  They are kind of near each other.
c'mon, who else? Am I the only one?

Re: Who has done this when they first got their H3?
I have to admit, the first night I had mine I did it. Sad thing is, I got out, shut the hood got back in and did the same damn thing 
The hood release is located at about the same place the break release was on my other SUV. GF did it once or twice too and now she isn't allowed to drive it anymore

Gee thanks. If you don't hve a 5 Speed Manual trans, you probably don't use parking break much. I never do unless it's a manual.

Re: Who has done this when they first got their H3?
I have a auto, but my dad taught me to always use the parking brake. He said it was a good habit to have, but I can't remember the reason.  |

My driveway has a nice slope to it so I use it on a daily basis.

I don't think the wife even knows there is a parking brake in the H3!

Re: Who has done this when they first got their H3?
I am with you, I only used my parking brake twice in the year that I own it, but both times I popped my hood when I went to release the brake.

Been there, Got the Tshirt.
Wait till you hop in an automatic, go for the clutch and hit the brake. You'll only do it once.

Okay... This sounds like the prelude to a "romantic" interlude. Remember, its okay to love your Hummer. Its not okay to LOVE your Hummer!
