Hiya all,
Just wanted to report in that I picked up my superior blue H3 on Wednesday. I absolutely love it. I really haven't had much time to play around in it yet. Only have 100 miles on it so far. 40 of those were coming back from the Cleveland dealer. I did get a big scare when I got home. I was showing it to my mom and dad and noticed that dreaded oil splatter all over both sides of the truck. I thought...oh no, I read about it in another thread here where someone elses did that because of a leak or something. I looked underneath and it was all clean, not one drop of oil. Hmmmmm, then I thought, it's on the sides of the vehicle. I walked around the truck once and then it hit me. They had plastered the tires with that wheel dressing crap to make them shiny. Even after 40 miles of highway driving, you could take your hand and wipe it across the tires and there was still tons of it on there. So, needless to say I headed for the car wash and had to clean it all off. Lol, I am ordering mudflaps for it. That gave a good example of just how anything from the tires will coat the sides of the H3.
I'll hopefully be able to take pictures this weekend.
It's more of an automobile than I anticipated. It is truely in it's own class. After reading so many comments on whether it was underpowered, I was a bit nervous about that. It has more than I'll ever need. I even passed a jeep this morning on the way home from work without a problem.
I'll post a link to a Hummer H3 song I did on my mac. It really rocks on the monsoon stereo system.

Brian-
Congrats on your new H3. I've had mine about a week or so and absolutely love it. Mud flaps are key from what I've read. I had them installed on Tuesday. Post pics and I'll do the same - just waiting for a sunny day here in NY.

Yeah, the weather is terrible here in Ohio as well. I'm headed up to Lake Erie Saturday so maybe I can capture some cool pics up there. Look forward to seeing yours posted.

The weather isn't like real real bad, it just cooled down and rainy.
Yeah, I can hardly wait for the snow. I'm hoping for tons this year. I work for a school full time so snow days are payed days off. Then I can take the H3 and play in it. Lol. Have you done any off roading with yours yet?

No not yet but I have been looking around. I want to go on an actual off road course, but the closest one to me is in Flint Michigan. The only thing is in michigan you have to take an off road training course and get certified then buy a sticker like for an atv I think, before they will let you out on a course. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif I havn't called for any prices or anything yet, I might just go off road through some excavation around here lots of construction going on http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
