Checked with the dealer today, my H3 has now made its rail journey from Shreveport, LA to Denver. Supposed to leave Denver by truck on Thursday.

If all goes well I should have it by the middle of next week!!

Anxiety much????

Congrats

The dealer said it got there today. They are 180 miles away- one way. I'll be heading down there next Wednesday to pick it up. Then the fun starts. Most people in the office want to drive it. One said let us take somewhere and we'll take a picture and you guess where it is..

Can't wait to get it!!!

I'll take some pics on the way back so the ones I post won't be have a driveway in it.

How will you feel if the picture they take has Epcot Center in the background?

Congrats on your new Hummer...

I the popular vehicle right now would be the pickup with a gun rack.

montanah3 01-14-2006 11:23 PM

XM Dude
Yeh, my husband's truck has the gunrack!
There is an H2 with CA plates I see in town once and a while, but I haven't seen any Hummers with MT. plates. Of course, I don't see too many vehicles at all! Former Santa Clarita gal--Sand & Placerita Cyns.

Congrats on the new H3!
Billings? Isn't there a dealership in Bozeman too?

TootsSUT 01-15-2006 12:21 AM

Congrats on the new Hummer, West!!!

Now, don't bite your finger nails off!!

westhillsat 01-15-2006 12:53 AM

Currently the only dealer is in Billings. Hope some other places will get dealers in the future.

When we were there in November for the test drive, at that time they said they hadn't sold a superior blue yet.

We are in Great Falls. We see a couple of H2's around town. One is a nice deep red sut, very nice.

f5fstop, If they go to Epcot, at least I could probably guess that picture.

montanah3 01-15-2006 01:01 AM

Go Montana! Yup, only one dealer in the whole state, that is in Billings. Oh well, what a price to pay to live in a state with less than a million population! Westhillsat--Menholt paid a fortune to ensure they would be the only Montana dealer.

westhillsat 01-15-2006 01:15 AM

Grew up here, but lived in the Los Angeles area for 10 years. I was surprised at the size of the Dealers main building. Reminded me of the Southern California dealers places.

XM DUDE 01-15-2006 04:22 AM

I'm trying to talk the wife into moving to Montana to get away from the rat race.
I looked on their website, and thy diden't show any H3's in the inventory.

westhillsat 01-15-2006 04:32 AM

Their web site is kinda of lame.

To see their Hummer inventory, you have to find it through http://www.gmbuypower.com

and you can use their zip code 59102

They only show the msrp price, but the stickers show what is on each truck.

The results page shows they currently have 50 in stock.

Just tested this link, it worked a second ago.

I used to fly to GF and then drive to Lewistown to work at the hospital there. I finally found a great little bar to have a drink and got in an argument about which snowmachine is best.
Everyone knows Artic Cat > Polaris!

westhillsat 01-15-2006 05:19 PM

I'll be driving out that way and turning at Eddie's Corner just before Lewistown.

We got a little snow this morning, haven't had much lately or much all winter in the lower elevations.... Better up in the mountains.

Snow would be good for the new H3 pictures

Clock's ticking away, can't wait to go to Billings. Want those headrest dvd's, since they continued the offer

hmrlvr 01-15-2006 08:26 PM

Congatulations on being patient. I bought what they had on the lot, and although I love it, I miss the sunroof.

NEOCON1 01-18-2006 07:02 PM

Yup, got it this afternoon. It is running great!!

I'm at the Quality Inn in Billings, MT
on my laptop. Took some pics at the dealer's, but I don't have any software to downsize the pictures on my laptop...Will try to find a freeware program on the internet.

The Green Lantern 01-19-2006 03:56 AM

Congralutions. You'll love it!

HummerJim 01-19-2006 02:01 PM

Great pictures! I made a side trip through Billings and Bozeman on the way up to the Yukon this summer and loved both places. Breakfast at Stella's Diner in Billings, was one of the highlights of the trip! Very nice people and one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Safe travels!

NEOCON1 01-19-2006 06:52 PM

sweet bet you loved the drive home

ROX 01-20-2006 03:50 AM

Sweet!

Those roof lights are kinda cool. I didn't know they put those up there. How do they work?

westhillsat 01-20-2006 04:25 AM

Hi Everyone,

I took the long way home by interstate 80% of the way - pretty much following the owners manual guidelines and stayed under 60 mph mostly 55 and less and varying the speed...
Went from Billings, Bozeman to Helena, then home 6 1/2 hours later...

First fillup got around 17.7 mpg. from mostly interstate driving. After filling up went the last 180 miles and still had slightly more than half a tank.

It just fits in the garage in regard to height, plenty of room lengthwise.

H2 Rocks: the lights are a factory option or can be purchased aftermarket also. I ordered mine as an option that was dealer installed.
There are a couple of buttons on the dash, one for the top one like I got, and my understanding is the lower grill ones still haven't come out from GM/Hummer yet.

I think some people use those connections on the dashboard to connect other lights though?

TootsSUT 01-21-2006 02:46 AM

It's always nice to get a new car but a Hummer, well, there's nuttin like it!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Rox, OEM for the H3. Not certain about the H2 but I don't think so. I thought they were cool also just with the H3 came with the air ride as well!!! You would think they'd do both!
