Get REAL, it's a USED Diesel Powered REAL HUMMER SOFT/OPEN TOP model with 25,000 (maybe many Off-road) miles on it...but what really sucks is that the WORLD'S #1 (REAL) HUMMER DEALER (as determined year after year by REAL HUMMER OWNERS, not by GM-HUM-BUDS) would ever consider letting people like this purchase a REAL HUMMER! Jim Lynch, I am very disappointed to say the least!!! You definitely need to be screening prospective REAL HUMMER buyers a lot better ...this GM-HUM-BUD definitely snuck through!

Over heating over 70mph was another issue along with visble corosion on much of the wires.
This ONE was not taken care of properly and I wasn't willing to go through the entire truck to make it realiable. In the end, that H1 was very sweet ride! I will have one some day if I find "that perfect one."
H1's still rock in my book, but this one wasn't going to be part of daily routines.

Thanks Tim for those additional details. First thought you may have fallen victim to something like this as so many have:
HER: "You take that 'POS H1' thing back and get my H2 (substitute H3 when applicable) or you'll be sleeping on that couch forever!"
HIM: "Oh please no dear, not the couch! But what am I gonna tell all my gal & guy buds on elcova?"
HER: "Just tell them that 'POS H1' had cosmetic issues and smoked like a diesel"

Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
Or in your case it would be you arguing with your husband. Don't be butthurt just because everyone doesn't completely fall for the H1 mystique. Hell, I've come very close to buying an H1 several times. Then I snap out of my trance and smile with the knowledge that my H2 will do 99.9% of the wheeling that the H1 will and I'll be 200% more comfortable. The H1 was a great rig, but evolution even applies to the automotive world.

Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
If it weren't for H2's and H3's, there would be no dealers left to fix the H1's.
I guess this means that the real HUMMERS are now H2/3's, since the H1 isn't made anymore.
I think the real reason they aren't made anymore is due to the fact this world couldn't handle any more stuck up a$$holes!
At least the H1 owners I know are cool!

Comfort is relative. It is different to everyone.
You right automotive evolution does happen look at the new GL class mercedes.
Timgo- Your right if it wasn't for the H2 and H3's there wouldn't be more dealers to fix the H1's. But I live in an area where there was an original Hummer Deal so it doesn't effect me.

I am not sure what you mean. The Galendewagen was (or going to be) replaced by the GL. The GL is not as cool looking IMO

Loyal owners and fans complained enough that MB is keeping the G wagon. At least for now...

To show my heart is in the right place, you may now freely interchange the word ?ORIGINAL?with ?REAL?preceding HUMMER. No, there is no need to thank me Tim, you earned it!!!
As you may have noticed there is an H and a 1 in my username. It is there only in remembrance of how badly GM trashed the HUMMER name.
The parting question for today?s post is:
Did you by chance put some GASOLINE in that 2004 DIESEL powered REAL (optional) ORIGINAL HUMMER to create that black smoke screen???

Awww man, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to put gas in a deisel engine. no wonder it wasn't running good. and the water leak I found out I didn't have the softop installed so water comes into the cab when there's no roof. ... what was I thinking.
BTW- do you even own a HUMMER? Or are you a diehard BMW owner? Nothing against X5's, they are one sweet ride! for soccer mom's/ dad's.

I hang my head in embarrassment. I felt sooo bad when I heard that "eeeeek!" come from the cockpit. Who was that anyway? CP or Bebe? She would have made it if you wouldn't have broken that CV and then had her drive up the Escalator. We all know she's the Wheelin' Mah-Sheen!
