Hummer School

Has anyone every attended the Hummer "Driving Academy" they have at the plant in South Bend? I know it's really expensive, but I'm curious if anyone has actually been to it, and if so, what did you think?

I don't know where you purchased your H2 but most of the dealers have what they call "Hummer Happenings" which are, in the case of my dealer. free. They can actually be pretty challenging and very instructive too. Plus you get to meet alot of the locals Hummer owners.

Are they on real dirt?

I know someone who went as well and loved it. I agree that if you do a ton of off-roading, it may not be much of a challenge, but they do teach you a lot about capabilities and when you leave you feel in total control of what you can do with your Hummer. They treat you very well and you get a lot of really cool stuff too.

I went through the Hummer Academy in August of 05, it was the best time I every had. They teach you a lot of good technical aspects to 4 wheeling. And they do have some very neet trails, and you do spend a lot of time on the trails. All of the Instructors at the Academy are Great and you do get to bond with them while you are there.

I did have a lot of Off Road Experience before I went to the Academy, and I did learn a lot of good things at the academy and I did learn how to do things right when 4 wheeling. At the Academy they teach you a lot about your Hummer and how to become one with your truck. ( Just my way of puting it )

The cost for the Academy is High, and you do get a lot of cool stuff while you are there, and they do treat you like a king while you are there.

I spoke with one guy that has been thrugh the Academy 4 times and he does race off road for a living. I my self have been thinking about going back through the Academy again, I will say it is worth it.

When you leave you feel in total control of what you can do with your Hummer.

This is one cool thing we got to do at the Hummer Academy.

One of the best times of my life.

Despite that, everyone seems to have enjoyed it immensely.

x2 -- its a good time and the folks that work there are really cool
