There is no way no how any other drivers can say "I know how you feel" until they have an FU site dedicated to their rigs (you know, like <span class="ev_code_BLUE">futj.com fuxj.com fuyj.com furubi.com fujeep.com fuyota.com fublazer.com fudisco.com fuchayenne.com futoureg.com</span> etc, etc).

Ya know what...I hate H2s I hate them because I personally think they are a total waste of money.
That being said I HATE that FUh2 site even worse. Why? Becuase the people that are in control of that site and 99% of the people who post there hate H2s for the wrong reason. They would hate jeeps just as much as Hummers.
The reason I don't like H2s is a totally personal one. There is no way an H2 would ever be capable of the type of wheeling I love. They are just too wide,heavy and weak in certian areas to ever make a decent rig....or at least for the money you spend.
60K will build me any kind of jeep or other vehicle with axles,gears,lockers and what not that will never break.
60K gets the hummer owner a very nice rig that will do most easy trails and a few hard ones too and sure they will ride nice going down the road.
The fact that they get less MPG then I get with a pickup towing my jeep is kind of silly though.
I have said it before..you guys who wheel your H2s Cool. Love to meet you on the trail sometime and spend the day.
You do have to wonder though...Why do you guys have such a bad rep? These things don't come about for no reason ya know.
I think the wheelin guys on this list are far far far outnumbered by the Hummer owners who will never ever in a million years take their rides off the pavment and to me...its just stupid to buy something so big and heavy that will never get used for what it was designed.
I'm guessing thats where a lot of the hatred for Hummers come from. If you buy them and use them only to get kids at socer games (and don't tell me this isn't a primary use) They are a worthless pile of steaming crap! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I would have to disagree with you on where the hatred comes from. You said you hate them because they are a total waste of money. In your opinion it may be a waste of money but that doesn't change what it is or isn't capable. Almost all people, especially wheelers, that come down on the H2 mention the price continually, which you did several times. That, to me, screams jealousy. You might not be jealous but many are. I also think a lot of people feel threatened by it for whatever reason. I am not saying this is why you don't like it but I think it covers a high number of the people that do. As for the people that post on FUh2, they are just lemmings jumping on the band wagon and think they are sooooo cool for doing it. They just need to get a life. As far as most will not go off road in their H2, you are very correct, at least in this area. An why does that make it a steaming piece of crap? Because they are choosing what they want to do with their vehicle. They bought it, they can do what they want with it and it doesn't change anything. Whether you want to admit it or not, there are a large percentage of Jeep owners that will never take theirs on anything harsher than a gravel road or a beach. Does that make the Jeep a steaming pile of crap? I didn't think so. Let people drive and enjoy what they want and lets just go out and wheel and have a good time. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, just don't bash someone else because they choose to like something you don't. Everyone needs to open their minds so they can listen and learn. Just my two cents
