It's simple really. The proof is in the pudding.
Check out the "off-roading" section on THIS forum.
Page 1 has posts from 2003. There is only 2 pages total.
I went wheeling with 1200+ Jeeps this weekend. I'll bet that of all the hummers sold to the public less than 1200 have ever been off-road.
Hummers have an "online community"
Jeeps have a "off-road" community.
You people do amuse me though, some will argue "Why does it always come back to money??" as a defense, then flaunt in another thread about thier lavish homes on the beach, high priced sports car blah blah..
It's really no surprise why hummer owners are "dissed" by off-roaders. You have earned it.
It's also no suprise why I have noticed a few people leave here in the last few months. Not trolls, but informative intelligent people.
and a little something for PARAGON: I reside where 99% of domestic vehicles are designed, I work everyday with people who design these vehicles. I then build the machines that manufacture these vehicles. GM, FORD, D/C, and a few others. The design of vehicles is generally 3-4 years BEFORE production. So for me to pass on information to a pathetic POS like yourself just so I could put a "owned" smiley next to it would be assnine.
That's the who, what, and where for you. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
So what exactly is your point? Is it that most Hummer owners don't take them off road? If that is your point, agreed, now tell us something that we don't already know. I may be missing something but where were the Hummer owners flaunting anything? If you are talking about pic that's show homes or other vehicles sure, they are here. Don't recall ever seeing one where the person posting said anything like look at my expensive things unless they posted the pic to prove they had what they said they had to a troll like you. So you went wheeling with 1200+ jeeps this weekend and you think that is more than the total number of Hummers that have been off road. Your point again is what. If you had a brain in your head you would realize that there has got to be a minimum of 200, if not 2,000, jeep on the road for every single Hummer. Of course there are going to be more jeeps on the trail, go figure. I actually counted one day last week how many jeeps and Hummers I saw driving around. At the end of the day I say 5 Hummers and I lost count on the jeeps at about 120. I would bet that at least 90% of the jeeps I saw will never see anything worse than a gravel road. Does that change anything about the jeeps capability? No it doesn't, so maybe you should wrap this around your tiny little brain. Whether a Hummer is taken off road or not, it is still a more than capable off road vehicle and at some point you will have to admit it to yourself. I know you and your little jeep feel threatened by Hummers but it will be ok, there is room enough for both on the trail.
