Re: Why H3?
 
H3s are cool
H2s are (just personal opinion) the coolest thing ever put on wheels
probably many or most H3 or H2 drivers would trade even-up for a good condition H1, regardless of what they say.

This thread sounds like both the H1 forum back during the H2-tantrum days, and the jeep forums. My pants are unbuttoned.

and ultimately, unbuttoned pants make more sense than hummer owners griping at each other.

Re: Why H3?
 
Understanding facts is not most poster's on this site's first line of defense against rampant stupidity, is it ? Have you ever heard of " warranties"? I hate having to educate people, when they profess to be seasoned automobile buyers. Ignorance is showing in everything most write. There are warranties that go with a car, and now extended warranties. The " Lemon Law" (look it up, I'm not doing all your homework for you) , was NOT created for used autos, but rather for NEW autos, brand spanking and new off the lot, that fall apart, never run, and become garden flower pots for unsuspecting suckers who believe a new car is perfect and protected by the dealer. What a crock, buyer beware, is the credo for those crooks. My point in the beginning of this post, was to ask a simple question, but the vile confrontational nonsense that has been fired at me , requires me to fire right back with factual information. I understand AM General creating the H3 to keep their business afloat in an economy that is sinking, but why does truth have to be met with rancor . I am shocked at the grown men slamming insults at me for a simple question, and then being shocked when I return the turds they are lobbing over the fence at me. It's now a Catch 22 situation, where if I don't reply I've " run out of enthusiasm" and if I do reply the parade of idiots keep marching past my posts. I have nothing to embrace or learn from people who have the insight of a gnat. [/b][/size]

I'm sorry, but discussing adult topics with a mere boy is a gross waste of my time. There is nothing you can tell a 19 year old , because it's a proven fact, they know everything. Your post is filled with childish icons, that would make a six year old blush, and if you are truly in some community college, let's hope the education system does not fail you once again. Now off you run and play in that house you bought, the Hummer you own, that castle you covet, that palace you prefer, that abode you adore, the plane you fly, the model you date , the island you own or the pure unadulterated egotistical manure you spread. Isn't there a hamburger in your life that needs flipping?

Reading this last two posts of yours (like pretty much all of them) were a complete waste of my time. Don't run around talking about how you just asked a simple question and got attacked for no reason. You came in to the section with no intention other than to stir sh!t up. Apparently life is really boring and you have nothing better to do. It can be entertaining but only when if your comebacks are worth a damn. Why don't you answer this, which are you, an AE or Troll? We know you are one or the other, which is it? :rolleyes:

Re: Why H3?
 
Well, I for one appreciate tex_h2's insight on life, the universe and everything. Bigger is always better, hands down every time. After all, only an idiot would order a regular size meal when they can super-size it.

Now that I've seen the error of my ways, I'm taking back my H3 and getting an H2. It doesn't meet my needs cause it doesn't fit in my garage, I don't really need the room, I don't have anything to tow, and it doesn't fit down some of the trails I run. But what the hell ... it's bigger!!!

You H3ers suck cause you drive a fuel efficient SUV that goes everywhere in style and perfectly fits your lifestyle and needs. You should all be more like me and tex_h2. I'm going to throw out all the clothes that fit me and super-size them too ... cause they're BIGGER !!!!

Woo-hoo, I'm styling now. My clothes, shoes, car and house don't fit, but I'm so much more important than the rest of you I can hardly stand it!!! I'm an intellectually superior, bargain-hunting a$$hole that can't spell, and you're all a bunch of idiots with no reason to live who wish you were me!

yeah right:lame:

Re: Why H3?
 
All 3 hummers are awesome. If the H2 fits your needs and lifestyle, that's great. I test-drove the H2 and loved it, but I don't need one. The H3 fits my lifestyle, and I'm more than happy with it.

I doubt you're an AE. But AE or not, you post like a troll and that makes you one in my book. If you had any class, self-respect, or common courtesy, you wouldn't have come here with your snide comments, baseless insults and pseudo-intellectual superiority.

Go back to your cave ... I think we're about tired of feeding you.

Let the simple bigot lay in his mental incompetence and lack of openness. Seriously, some people just want to stir shtt instead of actually strategically conversing. Leave him alone. He'll soon get tired of saying nonsense to himself.

OK...play the age card. You must be desperate to find a way out of this bad situation you have gotten yourself into. :lame:

I agree though, 19 year olds are ****ing know-it-alls. Good thing I'm 20. ;) I may be younger than you, but at least I've realized the advantages of learning and taking advice from the intelligent members of this board unlike yourself. You are just embarrassing the **** out of yourself.

This may be a catch-22 in your mind, but you got yourself into it, learn to take responsibility for your own actions. Weigh your options and think real hard about what to do next, think you can do that?

As for the rest of your posts... :lame:

Why did you buy an H3?






Well, the alternatives were not very glamorous.

I got exactly what I wanted - GREEN H3.

The green was the only one I wanted. If I couldn't have exactly what I wanted, which was the green H3, I would have absolutely nothing because to me nothing always seemed more important than a false something or something that I didn't really want.

Hi,

My name is Chris and I am a recovering yuppie SUV fanatic. I love puppies, daisies, and pretty goldfish. I really love single Mom's and H3s - they are both fun to drive and make me feel "BIG". :giggling: I guess I am addicted as I continue to drive both as I speak...

I have a brain and the career to have bought an H2 but chose the H3 based on utility and apperance. But I grew up in Pennsylvania - or Pennsyltucky - so I guess I really don't understand the concept of "big", the workings of the rest of the universe, or which side of my underwear is front versus rear even though I have three college degrees (one terminal). I am still trying to decide if my Ph.D diploma is worth more as a purty wall hanging or toilet paper. In fact, I just can not sound out the names of them dar' fancy foods like "escargo" and "tiramsu" so I'll just take them yonder beers and fixins and be sure to belch after an hour to indicate my contentment. And I'll try to remember to wipe when the time comes....

As I am 14 years older than the pre-requisite age of 19 for knowing and doing all, I guess my sell-by-date had long passed and senility has obviously settled in..... as stale goods are so passe, I think I'll zip my loc' now....

So I'll go and drive my H3, along with my two other "garage rods" that I earned on my pittance of a salary - some even while a po' white boy college student wannabe. I shall persevere in my contentment with a "small" lifestyle, all the while enjoying the giggles of glee from my single-mom paramour's daughter as I drive over curbs, stumps, Barney, Spongebob, and the occassional loud mouth, pot-hole filler shipped in from the land of the all-knowing, formerly the state of Texas, as I take my gals fishing.

Did I mention I have Russian heritage?

Yins take care now. :fdance:

Re: Why H3?
 
Okay, asside from all the pissing contests, does anyone seriously disagree with the following, and even assuming that you were going to keep your vehicle for a long time and did not care one bit about it's resale/trade in value, and assuimg that you plan on wheeling your rig a fair amount:

More than 80% of H2 owners would trade their H2 for an H1 from the same year with similar mileage; same color; etc ... (I say only 80% because the the H2 is actually a better daily driver).

More than 98% of H3 owners would trade for an H1 under the same deal.

At least 95% of H3 owners would swap for an H2.

If it didn't cost more, the vast majority of us would upgrade to the lower-numbered, higher costing, more capable model.

I actually like the H3, and am considering getting one for wifey, but I was actualy stunned that the H3 is, IMO, far less stable going around turns on off ramps than the H2. Probably just because the H2 is wider, etc... For the vast majority of people, who are not tight on gas money, the H2 is better at just about everything. Now, if I was going to want/need to go through some pretty tight trails often, I might opt for the H3. For example, I'd probably feel more comfortable going up/down Webster Pass and Radical Hill (in CO) with an H3. That's an advantage in that situation. But, come on, I wouldn't seriously tell and H1 guy, that I can go more places than he can. I have an H2 because I didn't want to spend the extra $60K, not because it so much better than an H1.

No, but I assumed for some reason that the H3 would handle better than the H2 on the highway. After driving both, I'd much much prefer to make a high-speed evasive manuever in the heavier H2. Wasn't expecting that.

The H3 is way better than at least five of the seven vehicles I've owned. And I could not have afforded one only five or six years ago, even if they had existed. If they had, and I had bought one, I would have been very happy with it, and I'm considering getting one now for my wife, because we don't need another $60K vehicle, but I wouldn't pretent I wouldn't make an even trade for an H2 or H1. If someone offered me an H1 Alpha right now in the same condition as my H2, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Just being honest.

Re: Why H3?
 
MarineHawk

There are some obvious advantages to the H2 over the H3. That's why I just bought one. The H3 does have some advantages over the H2 also.

Like you just mentioned tight trails is one of them, I took my new H2 up the hill from my house and was climbing the trails in less than 5 minutes from where I live.

These trails are tight and lined with scrub oak (stiff thick branches), the trails climb to the tops of the mountains here and are very twisty and steep with loose gravel and rock. I found the extra weight of the H2 was digging in the loose soil far more than my H3 did on the same trails. The H2 had to work much harder to overcome it's own weight and dug holes with all four wheels. The branches were scraping my paint up and down both sides of the rig and there was no way to avoid it. The H2 could not make the tight turns nearly as easily as the H3 and I dragged the rig through brush much more than the H3 in spite of having to make two and three point tight turns. The H3 would go right through barely touching brush.

I still prefer the H2 and am glad I was able to get one. I am looking forward to learning to drive THIS rig better. I'm sure there is a learning curve to each vehicle. I have 5 in my family and the H2 fits all of us much better and more comfortably. The H2 is more pleasurable to drive for me.

I really don't see this as a competition though. Money is a factor, and both vehicles do well in their different price classes. If you want to off road a vehicle and you aren't going to build your own, ANY Hummer is tough to beat.

MUD4ME 07-17-2007 04:36 AM

Re: Why H3?
 
I went from an H2 to an H3. My reason? Gas prices, simple. I can afford gas just fine but just because you CAN afford it does not mean you LIKE it. I drive alot and was tried of wasting money is all. I have rigged out my H3 and love it. In time I will prob. look at the H3 Alpha as a trade up. But I do not have KIDS, so I don't need that much room either. :dancingbanana:

Yes, I disagree with your statement and you pulled those numbers out of your ass. Why do H1/H2 owners always assume cost was the reason for purchasing an H3 instead of an H1/H2? :yawn:

I think they're all great trucks but I just don't like having a fullsize truck for a DD. It's impractical and a PITA where I live. My last truck was a midsize also. It's just what I prefer. So apparently I fit in that 2% and 5% that wouldn't trade their H3 in for either other model.
