Re: Whenever I say I'm looking to get a H2, people Say.....
Agreed...buy what makes YOU happy.
My truck is hands-down my most favorite vehicle I've ever owned. I've never had a thought of trading it in; not when gas was $5.00 a gallon and I was driving it from Maryland to Moab; and not even when we broken a tie rod on a secluded mountain in Maine and the moose the bear were looking at me like I might be fun to play with...
It really is like nothing else. (read up on this forum about those tie rods though...)
People are definitley hot or cold with these trucks. They either love it or hate it. Most of the unsolicited comments I receive come from owners of Priuses and Jeep Wranglers. Neither seem to be big Hummer fans...Prius-peeps wanna tell you how you're killing the planet and Jeepsters wanna tell you how 'you shoulda bought a Rubicon.'
In the end it's all about you...

Re: Whenever I say I'm looking to get a H2, people Say.....
Some times people will come up to me and start telling me about how bad this is and that is about the H2. My standard answer is..." If Yuor ASS was Blue ...you MIGHT Know something about the HUMMER H2.
99% don't know where it's built or who builds it. They are very Surprised to find out that AM General The HUMVEE Mfg builds the HUMMER H2 right next door to the HUMVEE plant.
They are also surprised to know that that the frame is in three sections unique to the H2... That's whey they say "Like Nothing Else"
This is AMERICA... BUy What You want...Drive What You Want...and live the life you want. Gas...??? I don't care it gas is $8.00 A Gallon..I'm Drving My H2.
I didn't put my ass on the line for this country to have some tree hugger tell me what I should drive.
GM Needs a Real Off road Vehicle in ther line up like the HUMMER. Sorry to say that it won't be GM soon. What a real Dam Shame. The forgieners own everything else in this country... I guess it's HUMMER's turn.
Long Live HUMMER

Re: Whenever I say I'm looking to get a H2, people Say.....
You people motivate me! Love all the pro Hummer comments....
I served 26 years in the US Army as a Combat Engineer. During this time, I never could afford to buy a vehicle for myself that I wanted. It was always what was affordable and family oriented. Now that I am retired, and still working in Iraq with the Army, I decided that it was ME time and bought a lifted H2 (2003, 47000 miles). I am not worried about the gas mileage, there are many trucks and cars running around that get the same or worse. In fact, I decided to rebuild the engine and my goal was 500 HP naturally aspirated HP. Now I am considering a ProCharger to boost that up to around 800. I live in Germany where gas is 8-9 bucks a gallon, and I really could give a crap....I only live once, and I like my lifted, gas eating, four wheeling beast and won't sell it. If I lose my job and have to live in the back, I will just remove the back seats and make some more room.....I pity the first liberal tree hugger in Germany that say's something negative about my baby......I may have to make an example out of them and try my hand at car crushing H2 style....

Re: Whenever I say I'm looking to get a H2, people Say.....
I was in the same boat...thought about it for a year or two...then just did it two weeks ago. I think it's the best car I've owned...and I'm not just trying to justify a dumb purchase, I would do it again over and over! Jump in, the water's nice!
