Id say SUPER overcompensation. The stupid bitches that drive these. My sister's friend's mom flipped one into the ditch on a icy snowy day because she felt she was hot sh!t and passed someone going the speed limit. So stupid.....

Well duh the h2 h3s arent comparable to the military version. But they are majorly fun to drive offroad and what not. I've rented one for the dunes down in SLO and it was great. I've also test drove some at events that has "off roading" type obstacles. Again they are MAJOR fun to drive off road. However they're not practical for anything else.

I don't own one, or know anyone that does, but again they're great to off road with. Any proof on the doors not opening because the frame are bending while off roading?

Well, my dad is a gm mechanic... for 30 years i think.. hes got like a year left till retirement, but he works for a buick/hummer/etc. dealership, and he gets people in there all the time that say they have problems with it, and the first thing he asks them is, "did you take it for some hard core off roading?" Yeah, they will drive thru fields n stuf, and im sure go over mild stuff, but people treat them like military vehicles, and let me tell you, they are NOT

Ford Excursion V10
F250/F350 Duallie Diesel's as daily drivers by single occupants (See this EVERYWHERE at my school, stupid ag hicks)


..I see mostly women driving the monster suv's and such. if ya got a few kids and all their sports stuff and what not it's not going to all fit into a econobox death trap.

well der, but then again they could drive something economical, with more room, and if your going to be hauling kids around, how about SAFER??? Try a minivan or something.

I live in Los Angeles near Inglewood and I see A LOT of blinged up Magnums around here. I never saw them as overly masculine though. They remind me of modernized, agressive looking gangster cars. I guess they fit well into the hip-hop music video culture.
