Well said once again HD.... You da man...

[SuperPoser]

thanks h2co-pilot,
do you have any photos of your rig?

Rock Swamp if a fun short trail, although stockers don't have problems as long as they have a spotter...

I usually stay on the blues, although I did try a black, I didn't make it thru the whole thing... maybe next time ;o)

have a blast at paragon,
Mike

Why did you "borrow" the photo? With all tha edumocation I figure you could import a picture of your own jeep and post it.

P.S. why post such an ugly picture?

h2co-pilot,

brrrr-

"Think about that ... the average person. The average person can't afford to spend 50K on an H2 ... ot even the gas bill, so they assume that anyone that buys an H2 buys it for image, are wasteful & don't understand why you got an H2 not a suburban. I think most folks don't understand why a pickup truck, or a suburban can't do the same things for you utility wise. And I don't think the H2 puts off the image you folks think it does.... especially to the average person. Average people don't look at your H2 and think how cool you are. Average people think you are driving the biggest vehicle, with the worst gas mileage, taking up the most amout of parking space and trying to prove how successful you are by doing do. And yes, if you are using the biggest gas guzzler ever, as a daily driver, for driving yourself to work in these days of high arse gas prices, people are going to dislike you. I'm not trying to attack & it's nothing personal, thats just the way it is."

The problem with your statement above is that the majority of the audience here I would venture to guess isn't "average" and really doesn't care what the "average person" thinks. Hummer has done a study on the "typical buyer" of an H2 and to be quite honest with you I don't think the "typical buyer" is any where close to the "average person".

But, ulitmately, it comes down to the fact that the reason we (not speaking for myself but the rest of the majority here) own it is because we CAN... And that's the beautiful thing about it.

And additionally, don't tell me how the "average person" looks down on us for our ownership of an H2 and it's gas guzzling propensity. Keep in mind that it is the "average person's" fault, the voting public, who is to blame for not scrutinizing their own government when it comes to the Energy Policy.

It would be one thing if Congress and the President grew some nuts and attacked the energy crisis issue head on. You'll be very enlightened to learn that Congress and the President have been working on an energy policy to eliminate the American reliance on foreigh oil and natural gas since Richard Nixon was in office. So as a self-proclaimed advocate of the "average person", blame him and blame your congressman and president for the energy crisis we now face for having not taken care of the issue when it came to light 30 years ago.

(If you would like to read more on the issue of the energy crisis, pick up the 7/21/2003 issue of TIME. There is a great article that includes cries of injustice from the "average person"... and a nice picture of the H2 with a caption of "GAS GULPER".)

Thanks for proving that h2 owners are morons. I am a proud jeep owner, college graduate and a United States Marine. I guess because i don't fit into your stuffed shirt crowd that i am beneath you. Enjoy taking your h2 to the mall and polluting our planet by using a "off road" vehicle for milk and cookie trips. to quote one of your own, "Drive what you like. Expect the same respect you give. Its that easy." Ironic one of your own sums it up the best, i feel bad for you

thanks man...no really.

For the most part, I can't speak for everyone, we'd love to go wheeling with you guys, but I have never seen an H2 offroad and the H2 Owners I have approached about this look at me like I am crazy.

I'm sure some of you do take your H2s offroad, and yes there are jeeps that never go off road, but for something that has been labeled as the ultimate off road machine you'd think more people would be wheeling them .... except the people bought them for the image only.

It's these "image only" people that bother us/me. These are usually the arrogant people that will "drive over curbs to avoid traffic" (quoted items paraphrase things from your album page) and these same people are usually the ones that will argue to no end about how capable their H2 is and how bad a Jeep/chevy/yota is. I myself, don't buy a vehicle for the "looks people give me", or so that I can "pull up next to other vehicles and smile at them". Just as I would laugh at the lack of maturity in these acts should a Jeeper do them I do so towards anyone else, including H2 owners.

I think there are a lot of H2 owners that give those of you that bought the vehicle and really use it, a bad name. Unfortunately there are a lot, a whole lot of people that got their h2s to make a statement ... If you need a vehicle to let the world know who you are then you aren't much of anyone in my book.

I also think a lot of people have problems with seeing how a vehicle that heavy, with the limited articulation that it's IFS has, and large turning radius can go down a trail and not damage it. Having never seen one on the trail I can't comment about this myself, just want to fill you guys in. And I do feel for you on this level coming from owning a large vehicle before my Jeep.

I don't want to get into how/why I think a stock Jeep will out wheel an H2, unless you want to, but remember that a stock jeep costs a lot less than an H2. Consider the Jeep you would be "up against" if I went out and spent as much on it as you folks did for your vehicle alone.

For those that actually do take your H2 off road I commend you, but most people will still think poorly of you because you are trashing a 50 grand vehicle, which to most people makes you look really wasteful .

I invite you to let me know next time any of you want to go in my neck of the woods...

OH, I'd love a link to the H2 wheeling movies you have too.

edit - Oh and I don't remember anyone saying that they were going to actually vandalize any vehicles on that thread. I hope that if they said it it was in Jest, but then again I see some of your members feel quite happy that one of us would have our vehicle vandalized. Like I said, it's these types of people that will give the rest of you a bad rep...

I know that this is an open forum and all should be able to post, but where do some of these people come from and how do they get on here... It seems as if their only intention is to slam H2 owners and future owners. I know that I speak for many when I say, that YES my H2 is an image, and it says alot about those that own them. I have taken my H2 offroad and had fun doing it. Although I would not do anything serious that would tear it up, if I wanted to do that then I would spend the money and buy an old cheap POS and tear it up, why spend 55K to tear something up, never understand that one... I am just saying this is an open forum and there is no reason for outsiders to come on here and start flaming and causing trouble... This just like other forums has and will have its share of trolls and the more we monitor and watch out for these people the better off this place will be...

For the NON H2 OWNERS:
This forum is open you are welcome, but come in peace, not to cause issues and try to make a statement here... If you want to do this then drop the cash join the club and then talk all you like.. If not then take your jeeps and what not and go somewhere else.. We have neither the time nor the inclination to dwell on your misfourtunes and ludicris ideas about Hummer owners.. I think that we can all get along in some shape or fashion...

You could buy 2 jeeps yea, but you get what you pay for. An H2 is better then any jeep. And all these guys are unique, they wheel their H2s. How often will you meet a guy who wheels his or her H2? Not much, but I see about 20-30 jeepers driving around everyday.

That is one reason why I would never buy a jeep, everyone has one, there is nothing unique about it. I have a Rover taht is lifted, and I will rarely see one around here. I go wheeling and have meet a few jeepers and they try to talk down to me as that I wasted my money on that and I should buy a jeep. I don't want a jeep. These guys have worked hard in their life to get the H2 and you have no reason at all to bash on them for having one or to say it is a lesser vehicle. If I could have a dream garage I would have a D90 for SWB trails, the disco for a flexable vehicle, and the H2 for the trails in which the LWB is a plus. Now I can not afford all those but that would be my dream. No off-roader is perfect, like everyone has said. So don't make fun of the people here because they paid their dues to soceity and made something of themselves so they could get an H2. That is just jealousy, thats all so unless you have something productive to add to this site then go away.

I was once a troll, but now I respect the H2, maybe you could do the same.

I stated this a long time ago when we had the jeep trolls invade the air space and I guess I'll have to say it again...

For the price of a "new and bad ass Jeep Rubicon", I could go over to Avalanche Engineering and talk to my good buddy Steve and have him build me one of his custom Assassins or Snipers or his brand new creation the Carnivore that would just f*cking smoke the ass off any souped up Jeep Rubicon, much less any other Jeep you could outfit for the same amount of money.

So here we sit, you the fool for spending all that money on your jeep which you thought was the baddest offroad vehicle made yet it can't hold a candle to my Carnivore for offroading and my Carnivore was so much less money. Now who is the j@ckass for wasting his money??? And who is the genius for having the baddest offroad vehicle made???

And what's funny is if you read my tag, I don't even own an H2...
