Thank God for 4 wheel drive!

[HummerJim]

I'm an older person too, and I've owned many 4 X4s. I got one of the first H3s when they came out in May of 2005 and drove it everywhere (including the Midwest to the Yukon) in all kinds of conditions and just loved it, so much so that like VV I bought an H2, but still miss the H3 (might have to get another H3 and be a two Hummer family). My son has the old H3 in Colorado and it's racked up 110,000 miles and going strong. He put Goodyear MT/Rs on it and likes the traction in snow, but he does notice that they are noisier than the ATs I had on it.
We've had a lot of snow in the Ozarks this winter and the Hummer has done very well. It's funny how friends come out of the woodwork when there's 10 inches of snow out and they need something. We have a lot of mud and gravel roads, so in the spring rains, I've had mud up to the rocker panels and driven through the creek by the house with almost 3 feet of water in it (it's only about 20 feet wide). I've owned a Jeep Wrangler and the Hummer does what the Jeep did in more comfort and with just as much or more capability, especially when it comes to water crossings. I think the blast of nasty weather we've had this winter is giving people a new respect for the Hummer and what they can do.

with HummerJim but Im still a young guy in my 40's and only driven trucks or SUV and with all the bad weather we are currently having My Hummer has paid for it self over this winter. when my boss calls me and asks if I could get to the office to pull on call duty because I was the only one who could get threw the snow. My cell phone # was given out to co-workers if they got stuck or needed help and could not get out. Im a H2 guy but saw alot of H3 out this winter here in Germany.

I love my H3. Anyone else have a name for theirs. The wife calls mine Hunter

We named our H3 "Poppy" as it is a native Californian as am I. California Poppy is the state flower about the same color (yellow gold).

We moved to Yakima Washington in Oct. '07 and have had great results in up to 9" of snow.

Best regards, Jack
