Obligatory "your penis must be 2 inches" and "zomg ur stealin my gas and ozonez!1!"

I apologize for your asthma guys. You can understand right? I also apologize for singlehandedly driving the price of gas through the roof, I now know that a Prius will be able to tow our trailers over rough terrain, fit the whole family, and let my fat 450lb american ass sit comfortably. (though stopping may be another question ha!)

My bad.

And don't forget it's a trooper that just won't stop. You can tell it you want it to stop...but it will keep trucking on!

Hummer died the day the H2 was thought up. They should have kept the real Hummer and left the brand alone.

Amen. A Hummer with a straight axle is worthless. Put an over-weight, over-sized body on a truck chassis and call it an off roader:rolleyes: No independent suspension, no geared hubs, no suspension travel, and no in-cab tire pressure adjustment (I always laughed at the H2 rims with the simulated air channel). The H2 and H3 were nothing but worthless sellouts.

hummer really only had 1 car being sold anyway, the h3 which i agree is a good truck.

a friend of mine just bought an fj cruiser to offroad (since i guess its the last year they are buildin gthem), and if an fj cruiser is an acceptable purchase then an h3 is even more ok.

since they only have one model anyway they should just rename it the chevy hummer or and make it that wrangler rubicon competitor. they did it when they wound down geo and geo had tons of overlapping models , whereas hummer has much less overlap (i guess you could claim the h3 overlaps with some of their smaller SUVs but really it doesnt) but i guess that would be too logical.

You know, it's funny to me, you are all cheering on the death of Hummer, but one day, the greenies are going to be cheering on the death of sports cars.

*crackle*

That's the sound of me burning down your straw man. :awe:

Eh, it's only a semi-straw man argument, since you were not my target. You can't tell me the real tree huggers wouldn't like to see sports cars and exotics dead (hell, all ICE vehicles for that matter) and that this is not a relatively good example of what happens when public perception shifts quickly and dramatically.

You may support the death of hummer but not sports cars, but there are those outhere who support both and will fight to get it :p

i always loved the hummer. gave me a reason to use my winch.

the only time i didn't get to winch an h2 out of a ditch. yellowstone, i drove up and offered and the ranger said i couldn't and they had a tow truck on the way.
still had to stop to get some pictures.
