Is H1 an old people vehicle?

[MAC]

In the Hummer factory magazines, there were photos of the gatherings of H1s. I noticed most H1 owners are old bald fat people. Is that the case? H1 owners are older? does H1 make you go bald and fat? does it make you look older?

As we all know kids love and crazy about H2, those hip-hop or sports-stars, fair to say H2 is youthful. When young people talk about Hummer, they pretty much are talking about H2 exclusively. I never had an auto kids envy and get excited about. Kids don't get excited about S500, S600, SL or Jaguar. I actually love that youthful attraction, trying to connect with my teenagers. I don't sense the same kind of excitement nor attraction toward H1. Is H1 an old people's automobile?

Personally when I see a black H1, I couldn't take my eyes off it, while pretending I am not looking. Generally black color ones only. It is getting harder and harder to see a H1 these days, used to be daily.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> I was down in Kentucky over X mas and saw a H1 and flashed the lights at him and he flashed and waved back.
Then on way home I pass a couple of H2 and wave but nothing back <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have run into that several times myself.

My addition to the H1 profile database:
33 yrs old, not fat, but I am balding.

My experience has show that many young kids can spot an H1 a mile away. And they know what it is. The parents usually don't. High School Kids know the difference between and H1 and H2 (after they discover the prices) and they favor the H1... and would like to have one............... remember those days........ when you were invinceable........

Its a good midlife crisis vehicle. Besides, average income folk are old, fat, and bald by the time they can afford one.

Hey. WTF, over? How did I get in here??

Scott,


It's a sin here to not post pictures of your rig (many of them). Stupid Hummer tricks are welcome too.

MAC,
Depth would have been somewhat of an issue, but the undercarriage would have been a bigger issue. My rocker panels slammed down on big rocks so hard in places I thought I was going to lose a filling or two! I'm glad my old truck has the steel rocker panels vs. aluminum. We did end up with about 6" or so of water in the floorboards. H2 guys would have had to had scuba gear while changing tie rods.

"most of these trails will destroy an H2 without a good lift and beefy tie rods." I was thinking about the H2 when I was looking at your H1s in water pictures. I am not sure about the lift or tie rod, but the depth.

You're a hop, skip and a jump from my hometown of Columbus too damn far from L.A.

More dry stuff. This was a pretty scary climb. You know the type. You get out to see what's in front of you and you can't get the damn door open, darn gravity.

Mickey (the spotter in the 3 axle video) REALLY knows the terrain (he lives there) and he will get you through an obstacle if you watch him. He is probably one of the best H1 offroaders out there. Any of you that can make the NHC Kinzalow Trails event in May would not be disappointed!

I don't think it is an old person's vehicle, just a vehicle for nutcases... Seriously though, there are a lot of snobby assed H1 owners who hate H2s with a passion. There are also defectors like Buckeye. He helps people not be fat, so maybe he is bucking Mac's trend
