H2 is not a real Hummer

Actually yes it is. It is a person who buys a vehicle, but does not use it for what it is made for. Like all the D90 owners who own them, but don't use them except to go to the mall.

The H2 is not a real Hummer...it's the ULTIMATE Hummer!

Do people realize the H1 is made from a compilalation of SEVERAL parts made by Ford, Chevy, Chysler and many many MANY other manufacturers? Does that make it any less real??

I'm involved in a club with plenty of H1's...and let me tell you from first-hand experience: these things have HUGE maintainance, regularly breakdown and suffer from poor engineering "like nothing else". Every event we run I have 4-6 guys with broken rigs. Half-shafts, u-joints, idlers arms, ball-joints, radiators, CTIS leaks, over-heating problems, etc, etc...

If you put your ear to one, you can almost hear the thing ticking....

Even brand spakin' new they have their issues. About the best thing that ever happened to Hummer was putting far more reliable, affordable, dependable and accessible GM parts in it. I've had mine for 2+ years and offroaded the heck out of it: it's been AWESOME!

Some of our parts came from the GM "parts basket".....newsflash: it's a good thing!

And those F-tards who'll tell you it's not a real Hummer: ask them why....they have no clue, they're just spouting crap predicated on nothing more then an intent to upset you and deal with their own insecurity knowing they'll never be able to afford either one!

I know very few drivers who can actually use their H1 to go places the H2 can't. The greater ability of the H1 comes into play infrequently. AND, sometimes it's the H2 that can do the job better, faster and easier then the H1:

Me and Horace (H2Finally) jammed through the Jonh Bull Trail easier and with less issue then the H1's. On Gold Mountain...we waited 15 minutes for them to catch up...and all the while we enjoyed a functional air conditioning, a great stereo and a far more comfortable ride.

Yeah, the H1 can out-do the H2 in some situations...but 99% of the time & mileage the H2 delivers more. I'm not willing to give up all that comfort, reliability and versatility for those super-infrequent times when the H1 could do it better.

Every vehicle has its pro's & con's, even the Suzuki Samarui can do things the Hummers can't and vice-versa. It's an un-even field.

Bottom line, when you compare features, value, reliability, versatility and all-around capability...the H2 delivers HUGE. As far as what I want from a vehicle...it categorically blows away ALL the competition, and since I bought it for me (and not the guy flippin' the burgers or working the french-fry machine)...that's all that matters!

I rest my case, if that doesn't work, bite me!

Not even close.
You could fit 2 Discos side by side inside the H1 and still have room for the cooler.
Then all three could be broken down on the side of the trail together. One tow truck. etc. etc.

Acutally, I know it's not aimed at H1 owners. I'm just curious what brought it on.

I know that trolls invade boards and mailing lists of all sorts, so I'm figuring that's the likely reason.

Please don't knock the LR's

Nahhh...I'm not really trying to put the H1's down, they're cool and I'm actually putting together a plan to buy one (proving I'm definitely not thinking with any semblence of intelligence).

I'm just thoroughly fed-up with people knockin' the 2 cause it's "not" an H1. Given the niche is occupies..the 2 is a great vehicle and should be given some credit.

Ya know, I still see D90's and get nostalgic.

How you can say that a chevy tahoe is more of a hummer than an H1 is beyond me.

It does illustrate the mentality that you guys seem to have though....which is an absolute lack of any automotive knowledge in general. Otherwise you wouldn't have bought an overpriced tahoe.

It is an H1 thing, you wouldn't understand...Oh and yes I have seen so many d90s in the past week near school. It is sad, they are all poseurs, it is actually like a little poseur land rover community. And Rocks, I don't know, might be a tight fit...

TAZ, sometimes the funnest place to shop for little chrome things is in the truck stop.
They have everything for the big rigs. You might find something you really like.
