If GM made the H2 instead of AM General

the example of H1 drivers ripping on H2s is, in my simple opinion, extremely relevant as i've always found that particularily lame. The jeep or 'yota crowd is one thing, but people driving bigger, rarer, more expensive things that probably never drew less attention whining at H2s just made an exceptionally minimal amount of sense.

But i diverge from my point. I think that example (and i gather from reading these forums at times that i'm not the only H2 driver who ever felt that way) - H1 drivers going all FUH2 at H2s - is very relevant because it could perhaps remind H2 drivers how H3-bashing might sound to H3 people, and i think that the H3 bashing by some fakes and whoever else is only going to harm the H2 in the long run, the way that i suspect the H1 attitude toward the H2 harmed that truck. Believe me no love will come to the H2 from having its owners bash H3s.

I once read on some H1 forum or other a post by an H1 driver who offered that he thought the H2 was the greatest thing since sliced bread (i paraphrase) because it would bring a whole new crowd of people into H1 ownership. And with that would be more parts, more used trucks, more accessories, and the original hummer would endure.

Well, maybe he would have been right with a different attitude from the vocal few.

And, simply, i am going to be pretty bummed if the H2 follows the H1 into oblivion. And i think that hummer drivers ripping on FJs ( if i was an FJ driver i would take a screenshot of the "other 4x4" board and have it bronzed), and H2 drivers ripping on H3s are a step in that direction.

In the past on one forum I know that I have stated that I am glad that GM has brought more models to the Hummer brand as it has expanded the commrodery... the thing that irritates me is that most of the owners H2 or H3 don't "get-it" such as the jeepers that wave, so do H1 owners, H2 and H3 owners see it as another "car" not as a serious off-road machine....

but beyond all of that... I like all of the Hummers and wouldn't mind owning an H2 or H3 but right now I don't really see the need so I will stick with my HMCO.... see ya on the trails!
