I hate Hummers

Post by Dennis Toy »

Does anyone else in here actually hate these oversized gas-guzzling vehicles. i mean i can understand the Military and Law Enforcement having them, but why civilians. It would be different if you lived in the mountains but in the city is basically unnecessary. Here in DC we only get 5 feet of snow and thats because it may snow several days overs. We have elevations of only 2 feet high, thats only in SE Washington DC. Any comments.

There are two problems with Hummers:
  1. The size. They just get in the way, and you can't see around them.
  2. The drivers. They're usually rich self-centred assholes who act as if the road belongs to them.

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

The new H2 is just fucking stupid. There's no point to buying a hummer which has had all its off road capability torn out to get better mileage and internal space. The normla ones are fine.

I have no problem with four wheel drive vehivles, they are kinda nessary around here. It's the weekend types who don't know what the fuck they are doing that drive me crazy.

I personally think the new H2 looks pretty cool. Ive never seen the inside of a civilian Hummer up close though. While , I would not buy on Im not about to get upset if someone else does. There are lots of things in all of our houses none of us really needs.

If I'm going to get a Hummer, I'd prefer the original (the H2 is basically on the same chassis as the Suburban, and while that's not bad, the real Hummer chassis is much more suited to off-roading). Better yet would be a surplus US Army HMMVV.

They don't really fit the streets here either. They and many SUVs fit into parking spaces even less than they fit on the streets.

No, I think the record proof of Grey's First Law involves a thread that went from zero to massive orgies in about two lines.

I blame my language on this but I thought about lobsters.

Lobster = "Hummer" in Swedish.

The original version is certainly not a SUV. It's a kickass 4WD all terrain vehicle that I'd love to drive. The reason why people grab perfectly good Jeeps and similars and transform them into ugly disfunctional luxurious road freaks is beyond me.

That's the sad part.

I have seen plenty of humvee's on movies autoshovs and stuff.

Just did't click.

Possibul if they where both unloaded. Laden, no other 4x4 beats military grade Humvees.

What about the UNIMOG? Has there ever been a competition between these two? While putting them in the same class is quite a stretch, we use it analogous to the humvee in the german army and it is a 4x4. My money would ride on it in a standoff.
