"They said the H1 costs $122,000.00 but no one ever pays that. You can get one brand spanking new and fully loaded for $80,000, and the military never paid more than about $25,000 for theirs."

Actually, the military pays close to $60,000 depending on the configuration, of which there are many.

I blame the wealthy meat-head they interviewed and road along with. This guy is about the worst representation of a Hummer owner. C'mon how about Arnold driving this thing around or someone cool like one of us but not the rich geek driving on top of a car! That guy was a total dickhead!

I think that guy was one of KelleyMacs club members. I saw that same Hummer in a photo she posted one time.

As usual, you can only count on the woman in the group to have a modicum of sense. That was my H2 in the spots, and me driving through the water. In fact, they were shooting that show the same day as the pics I posted of my H2 fording deep water.

Steve is not a dickhead, and as usual, television shows about 2% of the footage they shot.

I thought the show was pretty well done.

Welcome back HummerGirl

Welcome back kelleymac2000

It is good to have both of you on the forum again



"It's what you learn, after you know it all, that counts - John Wooden

Yep I have an eye for detail and I spotted Kelley first hand as I saw her go through the water. Gee I couldn't have missed it seeing that I made her movie avatar with the clips she provided on the forum one day.

And I totally agree with what they say about the camera as I have done numerous blips for the local tv stations on pottery or art. Remember SteveR (the insulation man) and his interview on TV when the H2 hit the market. He said they editing tons of what he said. Remember TV is only fluff.

I was dissappointed as they totally missed out on the "practical" issue. The H2 in my own opinion is more practical than the H1. But in the future, as the point they were making, we will see more cars/suv hybrids that are able to do more than just commute.

The guy did say that one "idiot" rolled a Hummer. And the point that I received was that the Hummer is only as good as the driver.

Another thing totally unrelated...

Don't you just love how oncoming traffic just veers outta your way like you are going to jump over the yellow lines and maul them? I know I am not over the line as I can see the line in my mirrors. but it still cracks me up.

Both girls are back!

Good to see you both again.

I didn't see the spot yet but what did this guy look like. Was it Ron Bomhoff from The Hummer Club or someone else?

Ron was in this segment, but he's not the guy that these threads refer to.

Steve Chan is the guy in the brown (the real color name escapes me at the moment) H1 wagon who drove over cars in this segment.

Kelley

I have yet to see this video but I will tonight. But really it was Steve Chan. Talking about Steve Chan the way you guys are is like talking about Ron or even worse, Jim Armour.

Oops btw, Kelley is more like Steve's club members. He is one of the top guys from the club afterall.

Kelley this was not meant to put you down I was just trying to explain something is a weird sort of way.

Actually,

Steve was the President of the Bay Area Chapter of the Hummer Club. A local chapter of the national organization. I am on the Board of Directors of the National Organization.

I didn't feel put down at all. Just wanted to clarify. I got involved in BAHA through Steve, but was appointed to the Board later.

Oh, and the color of Steve's truck is Mesa Dusk.

Kelley

Oh for crying out loud...

I'm Steve R and even I'm confused about all the references to "Steve's" in this thread.

The tragedy in all this...is that we're all grossly overlooking the REAL star of that show: Mark Weber, aka Webman...now there ya have a solid guy to represent the Hummer community! he was out there representin' and keeping it real with his kick-ass slantback!!

The editors & directors tweak and twist stuff to produce the show they wish to. Take from it the good and don't get emotional over the rest.

Oops i forgot. I was actually thinking of Fred Chin. I didn't realize it until I saw it when I got home tonight.

Even still he is a great hummer guy. Never met him but I know A LOT of Hummer owners since participating in an on-line community since 1996.

Steve your right. Mark's video's are great. I can't wait until I get back on the internet at a faster speed in November so that I can catch up on his and others work.

Mark Weber...so that's the identity of the infamous Webman. Cool. I've seen some of his video's and they are great. He seems like one of those old-school guys that is still personable and friendly. One thing for sure...he's fearless when it comes to offroading! We could use a guy like that out here in California...

Ok Steve you sucked me in. I can no longer just lurk behind the scenes of this forum. Thank You for the compliments everyone. I love anything Hummer and just love being off road. As far as fearless goes, Well I am not to sure about that. I have been very fortunate to learn from some of the very best the Hummer world has to offer. I love to make movies from our events, I never stop being amazed at what these trucks are capable of.

As the President of the Wisconsin HUMMER Owners club I have been following this forum to see how it applies to our h2 members. This place is an awesome resource for owners and I will continue to recomend it to our owners.

Thank You

Hey Buckeye....thanks for running that 'copy & paste' for me....as suspected, the right bait can work for just about anybody...even a Wisconsinian.

Ladies & Gentleman...I give you the infamous WEBMAN!!!!

So I have been baited Steve. I have always said you are the master.
In case anyone is interested I just posted some pictures from the Wisconsin Hummer Happening put on by Bergstrom Hummer. This event was outstanding. It hasnt rained here in two months, but it decided too yesterday which made the trails very intresting.
