I'd would absolutely LOVE to have one, and I knew I wanted one when they first came out. But lately I've heard so many stories about people around here having their vehicles damaged and vandalized because of sheer stupidity and lack of respect from others, it makes me really nervous to dump such a large amount of money into something that seems just like waving a green flag to bring on the lamers. I've driven cars that catch a lot of attention for quite some time, but now I'm beginning people put the H2 on a whole new level and I'm not sure the unwanted attention it is appearantly bound to bring is quite worth it.

Catching all the attention is part of the Hummer experience, or WAS. After 1+ year, I frankly don’t think many people look at my Hummer anymore, and it does not matter. In 19,000 miles, I never had any problem, not even a dirty look, and I am in the most crazy Liberal part of the US. Maybe I have been lucky, or maybe I have that “Don’t mess with me” look, people generally don’t mess with me if they have a glance at me. I park on the street and walk away, I don’t check on it and I don’t even think about it; that is in San Francisco.

By the time every Hummer owner bought a Hummer, everyone knew exactly what they are getting in terms of attention, and I think that is a core part of the Hummer character, whether they will admit it or not, and naturally most will never admit it. Even without the Hummer, we are the type of people everyone look at when we walk into a party, restaurant or a banquet hall, by design.

If you can’t handle that, Hummer is not for you. Sure, you had fancy cars, but my friend, Hummer is a total different story, hold on to your pants.

BAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Alec on the fly! This Gang Wars stuff has turned you into a monster!

RRRRRROOOOOWWWWWLLL!

Please don't buy an H2!!! You're so not worthy to own one.
Might I suggest a VW Beetle Cabrio. It's a nice car for chicks. I am assuming you're a chick, right. I mean you don't sound like you've got any testicles.

The Real Bully

I am not trying to convince you Solstice, these guys are probably right you shouldn't get one if this risk is enough to sway you. But it's sort of like you read about someone getting mugged in your local paper and you decide not to go outside anymore. Isolated incidents that affect relatively few people.

I park where ever I find a spot anywhere in or out of the city, no problems. Yesterday I parked in Hell's Kitchen in NYC, no problems. Often I see finger prints on the glass from admirers. Like MAC, only expressions I get from people are those of joy. One of the reasons I got black it that's less obvious than the other colors, so if you do find that you must be an H2 owner, get black or better yet pewter. And if you do get a scratch or worse, well then there's insurance.

THANKS DENNIS,
It's going to take a week to get that song out of my head.

GOOD, don't want ya, don't need ya, now quit yer snivlin and hit the road, the YUGO CHAT ROOM IS THAT WAY------->!!!!!!!!! LATER

Seems like the problems with H2 vandalism are on the liberal coasts. So it really depends where you live. Had mine almost a year and no problems in Colorado.

I've had a few Kalifornia salutes, but the waves and grins have far outweighed the negative attention.

Stoly,

You do what you feel is best...but not buying an H2 on account of a few vandalism stories is hardly a worthwhile reason.

I've spoken with lots of people who have owned Vette's, Mercedes, Jag's and other nice vehicles....it would seem the low-lives of the world are equal-oppotunity vandals.

I'm sorry you won't be sharing in the fun. Perhaps you've not accounted for all the "I regretted buying an H2 stories" as well??????

- The Original Bully

It's too bad that you've talked yourself out of the Wonderful H2.
If I was afarid of getting a vehicle because of possible vandalism, I would be riding a bike to work every day.
Just suck it up, go to your local dealer, and just tell 'em what color you want.
Talking from experience, I've had my H2 raped several times, but what the hell.
If they want what I've got, they better be ready for a fight next time.
Locked and loaded!
You can do it!!

SHHHHH!! Be quiet Rick, we had the puss talked out of it!!
He needs to go look at the very radical and wild Honda Prelude. It's got mad stylin' and gets dope MPG!!! Think of all the biznatches you'll have on your jock when you're behind the wheel of a fresh Prelude!!

dirty,
you da' man, you dirty Be-otch! I've even heard that there is a Honda Pilot incentive going on now..... HURRY IN RIGHT NOW for your flying freak-mobile.....but hey, the 'huggers will adore you!

Solstice, don't listen to these evil lost souls. If you buy a Honda or Toyota, it will be in Mexico in less than a week. Nobody will scratch a Honda or Toyota, nobody is that stupid to scratch a car you are about to steal and send across the border. Hummer on the other hand wastes so much gas, no one down there is stupid enough to buy a stolen Hummer.

I am indeed sorry these people are so mean to you, it is uncalled for. I, on the other hand, is always nicest and true.

Have you ever thought about Oldsmobile? No one hate an Oldsmobile, how can you? no one steal an Oldsmobile, why would you? Even Immigration border agent won't check the trunk of an Oldsmobile. Buy an Oldsmobile, its you.

and yo wok on yur mexican. Hey, watch out, I heard INS is raiding all the Wal-Marts, next stop St. Louis. better drop your mop and head for the door.

DAM! Mac is on a roll.

Sol- by an Element and put H2 stickers on it and put a vanity plate on it that says something clever like "BABYHMR" or something like that.

That will save you 40K and no one will vandalize an Element, no one cares about that POS.

There, problem solved..............

Plus the Honda web sites are full of folks like yourself ready to talk about surfing or doing something trendy in your Element....

HeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww

Wow....would you look at that? 3 posts: me, Heehaw and MAC side-by-side.....that takes me back about one year ago when the H2 was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of most these folks...and they were all too smart to jump-in yet...letting us fools go first!

MAC, you've got some kind of axe to grind against Asians??? I'm gonna have to ask you to stand down and back-off altogether...such insensitive and racial comments present an afront to my delicate nature!

Senior' Haw.....please tell me my efforts to find a pretty & scenic trail (free of any serious obstacles and all potential damage) weren't in vain? Will I be seeing Bonnie's pretty face come the 15th?

....didn't think so

Well Steve, I've been bantering with Mac since day one on this Forum (he got here only one day before me). But I must say, he seems to be getting a little sensitive in his old age. Such over-reaction is symptomatic of other deep seeded problems. Let's just hope he gets back on his meds.

Adios amigo! Yo quiero una mas cervesa.

MAC, I think your OLDS suggestion is the perfect match for this guy!

Steve is right, TX Red Jim, HeeHaw, HM, SteveR and me or I or we are all old timers, brought back memories and tears to my eyes. One gets emotional easily at old age, let me sit down before I faint.

I have no problem whatsoever with Mexico. I've been to Mexico City a few times, and I have been to Ensenada(sp?) which I promised myself and my family we'll never go back again. St.Louis is a different story, everywhere you fly on TWA, you have to go through St. Louis.

DON'T BUY ONE. YOU WILL TURN INTO A SELF CENTERED A$$ HOLE LIKE SOME OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE.

All in good fun, Mac! You're one of the founding fathers here! I wouldn't intentionally be mean-spirited in my posts. On second thought, that's not beyond me in a weaker moment.

Regarding the thread Topic: If you can talk yourself out of buying an H-2, then do it. I couldn't. There was no good reason for me to get one. But something came over me and I really had no choice.

Jim
Red H2

Founding Father? Are you kidding? C'mon the guy registered one day before you and I. Just because he happens to post like rabbits breed doesn't make him any more of a founder than anyone else that was in here from the early days. PUH-LEEEZ!!!!!

*cough*

Wow, this does seem like an old timer thread... Fun stuff.

Since we all know Hummer Man is the official FOUNDER, which should mean Hummer MAN is also the Founding Father, unless anyone can prove that Hummer MAN is really not a MAN. I never really figure out who the Founding Mother is, as such, it is highly unlikely that I could be the Founding Father, but then again, there were weaker moments in my life for which I could not remember things she/they said I did. And since Dirtyfun said something about me making lots of rabbits, it is not impossible that Drtyfn could be one of my little rabbits.

TX Red jIm, please correcect my engulish up theirs.

Could you please go on another extended trip? Maybe someone will miss you next time.

Dear Mr. Macasaki, your english is fine. I understood every word. Keep up the good work.

Drtyfn, he won't go away for long. He's got to keep his number of posts up.

Here is a good reason to run out and get an H2.
off road video

Unleash the troll hunters!!!! dennis (in japan) DRTY, Alec, Buckeye, let's git this bugger!!!

more good old tough H2 photos!
H2s

Since old timers are posting, I'll throw my .02 in and try and get my post count up...

Lance,

You came here looking for friends by pretending to sell H2 supplies. Now that everyone has ignored your lame gestures you have resorted to blasting the H2 and even posting some stupid pics from your Bill Clinton website. What a tool you are. Why don't you post a picture of yourself. I just gotta see the scraggly armed puss who hides behind the keyboard.

Next time I drive over a rock I'll think of you.

PS, meet me tomorrow at the following intersection during rush hour. Be sure to come in your fuel efficient foreign car:

1. Pembroke Pines, Fla. Flamingo Road and Pines Boulevard 2568

Lance, are you 15 years old and trying to make some scratch on this site since you probably got bounced from EBay? Please delete this site from your Favorites and take a hike. You're pissing me off that we had to waste time with you.

ps. if you'd been paying attention you would have noticed that that 1st video originated HERE!!! Stupid pile of excrement.

pps. Some day when you get older maybe, just maybe a little fairy(not your dad) will fly into your room while you're sleeping and sprinkle intelligence dust on you. Wait, in your case she might need a couple of shovels full.

ppps. What a F'ing dunce!!! Did you seriously think that you were going to post an H2 video on an H2 forum that the members hadn't seen or heard of? You should try looking at some sites other than the one with Britney Spears nip-slip.

pppps. In ten words or less could you describe how it feels to be embarassed off of a site? Dummy.

I like Britney's nipples.

And it's funny how people talk **** about the people who drive H2's. I haven't experienced it live all that much, maybe because I'm 6'3" and 250 lbs, some people look like they might want to say something, but when I climb out of the truck all they say is hi. Strange. On the internet some people are so passionate about thier hate for SUV's in general, sometimes their words sound down right tough. I could see how someone might read what they type and think, man this dude types like a real bad ass! In real life........ they are weak. They work in a cubicle, they have a fat wife, 2 kids, they drive a KIA or Hyundai, not because they care about the environment but because their wife won't let them spend the money they make.

Uh......yeah!!!
