Garages

[Fistville]

Do you guys have any trouble parking your h2 in your garage. I have an old house which has a 3 car garage that has 3 seperate doors but they are all open on the inside and a 2 car garage with 1 door. The 2 car is plenty wide but too short for the car. The stalls were designed for carraiges so were not talking huge space. Are there serious problems with parking outside? I can fit it in the 3 car but it takes about 10 minutes and we had to install a mirror so that I could see the right side of the car to fit in. And the first time i hit the crossbars on the ceiling, after some adjustments it works. I need to convince my dad its ok for me to park it outdoors,(my parents are trying to find a way to take my baby away) do you know of any serious problems or is it ok?

Its OK to park outside and besides an H2 parked outside will improve the looks of anybodys house.

Add a carport. Hehe!

[TJB]

Which I had this for my first ride. Better than a 71 Nova.

I have an old house, and the garage was also built for a carriage. I had to take the roof cross bars off, and I get about two inch clearance on both sides pulling in (with mirros folded in). The neighbors love to watch me pull it in. It doesn't look like it will fit, but does.

After pulling it in a few times with help and going very slow, it is now much faster. I don't have to lean out the window to make sure I am lined up ok any more when I pull it in.
Partice make perfect.

[HummerH2]

Mine dosen't look like it is going to fit.

jesus christ, is's just a VEHICLE. Of course you can park it outside, it's not going to melt.

Believe it or not, and this really is true, but MOST cars are actually left ouside, and not stored in garages.

[Adam in CO]

Does it bother anyone else that his "parents" will take it away? I wonder who's paying for it.

No kidding, huh? I noticed that also.

I wish MY parents would buy me a 55k vehicle.

He says it's his first ride...I wonder if the plate reads "SPOILED" ?

Park outside (unless you live in East Oakland) - problem solved.

[argonaut]

Come on, there is nothing wrong with your parents buying you an H2... My trust fund bought me one http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Clay500]

Does the Air-suspension make a difference on whether they fit in garages or not?

Thanks,

Clay

[Texas Red]

Clay, air-suspension shouldn't make a noticable difference on height for garage clearance.

BTW, I guess you guys successfully ran of Fistville. He will probably re-register with a new name and never mention daddy again. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Fistville]

Oh I'm not run off. I just find it funny when people insult those who are fortunate. As if they would hate themself if it was them. But thank you for the informations guys...those who were helpful.

[Fistville]

I do appreciate and understand the above comments. I had no intention of bragging in any way whatsoever, nor flaunting. I simply stated a questions because I am not one with infinite years of experiance, and I have been in fued with my family about whether or not it is alright to leave a car outside and I decided to ask my question to a group of people who I believed knowledgeable for evidence to present an argument. Comment understood and not taken as agressive in anyway Phil, and I truely appreciate the way you presented it in a logical and truthful way.

[Fistville]

To tell you the truth im not sure of the name of mine. I bought it from an electronic store named abt for about 900 and they installed it, so that the picture appears in the rearview mirror. The fact that the screen is normaly on the reflective surface of the mirror makes it so the two images can become confused and it is very difficult to use. I think it was a waste of money and would not suggest it. From what ive seen the screens mounted seperatly or in the dash are far superior and I will most likely change mine to one of those if the need arises. I am taking the car in for the xm to be fixed this thursday and I will ask for what brand the camera is.

Hey Fist,

I had a rough run during my first 5 years in business. The last 2 have been very prosperous.

Looking back, parents to help me would have been great but I do appreciate things now that I have them.

You are one of the fortunate ones, and I think and I know I would have loved to be in your shoes then (when I was having canned dinner in my 76 honda).

In my opinion, take full advantage of your fortune but always appreciate it ( and I think you do). Never take anything for granted, it could all dissappear in a snap.

But whenever anybody critcizes you, ignore.......

CUZ YOU GOT YER FRICKEN HUMMER!!!!!!!!!!YAAAAA!

[Zing]

Does anyone have a garage where the H2 doesn't fit with cross bars and frequently takes the bars on and off? I'm wondering how hard the bars are to remove especially after you've practiced 20 times. Or is it just such a hassle you just leave them off.

The H2 only fits in my garage without the bars. Not a big deal except I want to add driving lights on top of one of the bars, and would be putting the bars on occassionally.

[canislupy]

As soon as I actually get my H2 I don't think I'll have too much trouble getting in the garage. Its a two door, two deep model I think used to house milk trucks, but its currently harboring two Marine M998's of my cousin's. I'll have to try to get a pic up tomorrow.

Best,
Josh

Hey guys stop bugging Fistville I am going to buy my 14 year old son a Hummer H1 in about 2 months there is nothing wrong with parents who buy there kids cars I think you guys are just jelous that you guys dident get a Hummer when u guys were yunger I have an H2 now

[HummerTeam]

A 14 year old with an H1? Great idea! You are the coolest Dad. Hope you feel that way when Junior runs someone over or kills someone because of driving inexperience, and well, being 14.

Why don't you also buy him a couple loaded handguns to keep in this new H1 as well.. Ya know, for him and his other pre-pubescent friends just to play around with... No harm, eh?

Jealous, no. Afraid for your community, yes.

Ya stop talking bad because that was my son wrighting all that stuf but he is right about everything he said

[ktower_heels]

I'm kind of surprised that there isn't any more outrage at kids getting handed things in life! Whatever happened to working for anything?? No wonder most of the kids that I see coming into the workplace now are worthless, daddy has been buying their way through life so the kids are in total shock when the silver platter isn't extended!
As for getting your kid an SUV for his first vehichle? Gauranteed to end up in a wreck inside of a year!

[HummerTeam]

My point exactaly... Also, Daddys Boy may end up safe in a wreck, but what about the buick he runs over. That will be great press for the Hummer.

I will wish better for my kids than I had it, as my father did, but even if I could give my kid a $100,000 vehicle, it dosen't mean I should. You have to use your brain at some point when dealing with kids, although many rearing children these days refuse to do so.

Maybe Huffington can write an article about Idiot Parents - I am sure they do much more damage than all the SUV's in the world...

Maybe instead of all these parents trying to be activists they should try raising their kids and teaching them how to be responsible adults when they grow up!

[kelleymac2000]

Okay, I've kept silent until now, but I have to speak up. I'm one of the aforementioned "Spoiled brats" on this forum. I never wanted for anything growing up, and my folks gave me a car when I turned 16. Not a Hummer, but something unusual and that brought a lot of attention. Everyone gave me the same attitude as I was growing up.

I still learned that I have to work my butt off for a living, and getting a car didn't make me any more or less responsible than I would have otherwise been. I was probably the exception to the rule when I was 16, because I was a very responsible kid (and yes, my folks will say the same thing) but that one action didn't change the way I grew up...

Cut the poor kid some slack. He hasn't been offensive, and hasn't been nasty in anyway, so I say more power to him. If his parents think he's responsible enough for that truck, then so be it...who am I to tell them how to raise their child?

[The Hummer H2 Man]

Thanks Kelley, BY the way u guys are just jeealous that ur parents dident buy u a Hummer at the age of 14 and by the way I have been working since I was 7 years old at my parents Gas Station and they leave me alon sometimes because they trust me and to get trust from my parents isent easy so stop being nasty ok

[HUMMERDOGG]

The Hummer H2 Man-

I am not going to be critical of you and your punctuation however, I would like to point out that in your four posts here you have yet to use a period. I sometimes find your posts difficult to read and think that if you took a little time to break up your thoughts using periods, commas, exclamation points, question marks, colons, etc... it would make for better understanding of your posts by the other members.

Again, not being critical only trying to be helpful.

Thanks HUMMERDOGG, but I dident think it would matter if I put a marks because I thought we were all just talking and it dident matter how we talked but thanks anyways HUMMERDOGG, i'll always try to put all the marks where they go.
By the way PhilD you have been very rude, me and my dad use the same screen name, my parents have an H2, and I am going to have an H1 GOT IT, well thanks everybody else who was nice http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I really have no opinion on the subject here. Just bored at work. :P If my dad bought me an H1 at age 14, I sure as hell wouldn't complain.

I do however admit that The Hummer H2 Man's posts are quite painful to read.

I know I have forum posters like that on a few Forums I run. I personally choose to use the curse word filter as an "AOL Filter"

It replaces ne1 => anyone
u => you
ur => your
sum1 => someone

etc, etc, etc...

I have been sitting back and reading this forum crying my eyes outhttp://smilies.networkessence.net/s/otn/realhappy/xxrotflmao.gif . I don't think one sentence was typed correctly by The Hummer H2 Man. This has to be one of the best threads ever.

One thing The Hummer H2 Man has going for him is he likes HUMMERS http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif !!!

COOL IT MEN just because I cant spell good dosent mean I am a bad person like you guys,I have always had truble spelling OK GUYS. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

[HummerTeam]

No one is calling you a bad person (or persons) Is this you or the 14 year old son? you guys should REALLY get different screen names to avoid confusion.

My original problem with all of this was the fact that you plan to buy a 14 year old an H1, which in my opinion would be irresponsible parenting. Is this true, or was this the 14 year old putting words in your mouth? You never did address this issue except say that we were all jealous. Not a good way for you to get people to go easy on you...

I could care less how you spell - I can usually figure it out. However, it shows a little more respect for everyone else if you can at least take the time to put a comma and period in every so often. Damn.

Clear this up a little bit, and I for one will have more respect for you and get off your back....

Greetings Y'All,

Ive been reading, learning, drooling, and now dreaming http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gifabout the H2 for the past few weeks thanks to all the wonderful posts on this forum. Tons more information than any dealer catalog or sales person could ever provide!

Gotta admit though, this has been one of the more entertaining threads thus far. Got my popcorn now.... so let the good times roll!

The best way to get rich is to have a rich father.

I started my businesses with $800 26 years ago, everything I got I made, and I used to look down on rich kids in fancy cars. A friend of mine gave his son a new BMW on his 16th birthday, the kid was angry and did not talk to his dad for months, because he wanted a Porsche. The father relented 6 months later and bought the son a new Porsche 928S4. I was so angry about that, even though it wasn't my business.

I came from an average family with old fashion parents who did not give me allowance, as a teenager I had to count my dollars and cents on a date, hoping she does not order anything slightly expensive on the menu or 2 sodas. Now I worked my way up, I do not want to do the same. You are only young once, there is no reason why my sons should go through the same; my parents were good intentioned, but it was humiliating and painful to be a poor teenager with no money for a humberger or movie. I vowed not to do that to my own children. There are rules, right and wrong, black and white, strict manner and education, but they do not have to wait or work for the new X-Box, PS2, new games, PCs, skateboards, BB/airsoft guns, Japan or Europe. 2 years later if now-14-yrs-old boy wants my H2, that is not out of the question, if we think he can overall handle it.

[MAC]

BTW, that friend's son is now a young executive in major holding corporation, on his own without father's help, married with kids. Spoiled brat can turn out to be upright successful person too.

[Detonate]

Don't forget this is 14 year old college student we are talking about....

[MAC]

Oh, you are talking about that 14 years old kid... I personally don't even think he's 14, its just the kid, not his father sharing the same handle. He's not getting a H1, not a H2, he is talking about a toy Hummer. But kids like to dream, that is good. Funny to see all the adults taking him seriously. 14 years old in college? nothing is impossible, but if he is one of those wiz kids, Hummer would be the last thing on his list of interests, and his parents most likely are struggling to make ends meet. Some 16 years old kids here maybe pretending to be the owners of their parents' H2s. All for fun, great that nobody is getting bended out of shape yet.

The boy is still too young to know how to lie, holes everywhere.

[The Hummer H2 Man]

Hey Mac, I am not just haveing fun, if you could just meet me, so you could see that its true that I can drive very good and I do go to college and I dont have any scholarship. I skiped High School, because I want to play Pro Baseball, ok guys just because I cant spell, dosent mean that I am not worth a Hummer H1. by the way I am the son.

[kw427]

Mac, I agree with you 110%. Although the top of my son's head can barely reach the door handle of our ///Mz3, he loves to play inside it and pretend that he's driving. I already promised him he can have it (if it isn't a classic by then!). However, this promise is conditional ie. excellent grades, respectful to his parents and little sister, etc. I've seen a ton of kids working hard in high school and even college so that they could afford their "toys". Today, a lot of them wouldn't even qualify to be my employees. I guess it's about keeping the kids balanced as well as making sure their priorities are focused in the right direction. If my 2 kids can do that, and still remain respectful to others, I would have no problem "giving" them an H2. Some folks work hard so they can retire early. If you can give your kids a head start, why not ? so that they may do the same? Just my humble opinion....off the soap box now.

My parents are the total American dream story. They handed things to me (no H2, a used BMW & Beetle, but still, my three older sisters had to buy a Pinto on their own & share) and thought they could balance it out by being very strict (church, early curfews, etiquette drills). Look how I turned out! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

So, then, do you know what beautiful words my father had for Peter on our wedding day?

I've noticed people have been picking on you lately, Hummer H2 Man. Don't get upset. Next time Phil D or that mean Brooklyn girl make fun of your spelling, remember that tolerating petulent and unregenerated mockery is a requisite characteristic on this pedantic forum for which members are ultimately respected and held in high fondness. It is the essential attitude that one must adopt in order to realize the overarching benefits from this otherwise wonderfully didactic and esoteric resource.

Just think about this next time around. I'm sure you'll feel much better about yourself. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
