What benefit is there to having a Hummer if you do not go offroading or over rugged terrain?
Should you own a Hummer if you don't go offroad?

Could be good as a moving billboard. They do attract alot of attention.
But only for urban/ suburban driving or commuting? NO, THANKS!Comment

Uh... maybe because the owner likes Hummers?
Why would you tell someone what they can or can't buy? That makes no sense.

Personally, I'm 6'7" and can't fit well into smaller cars. I also tow, but I didn't want to get a Tahoe or Suburban.Comment

I tow a 38ft boat weekly, I am 6'6" although I dont drive a hummer, but an F350 Dually that gets 10 mpg

Nothing I have driven compares, 12.5k on the bumper or 17k on the fifth wheel, and my boat is a fucking hogggggggggg. I wouldn't own anything less now.Originally posted by frankfortunaThe F350 is a sweet towing rig.

Hummers say bad ass or "active". Luxury cars say nice job, cares about image, etc.Originally posted by wedouglasHummer doesn't carry a status symbol anywhere near Mercedes or any other luxury company (luxury to americans atleast).

H1 Hummer says badass, H2 says I couldn't afford an H1 or I really dont need to be driving this.Originally posted by SlyHummers say bad ass or "active". Luxury cars say nice job, cares about image, etc.
In fact, I'd say H2 says cares more about image than a BMW or MBLast edited by wedouglas; 08-29-2005, 08:35 PM.Comment

So I assume using your logic, one could say the same about Japanese luxury car owners? I guess you couldn't afford a German car, eh?Originally posted by wedouglasH1 Hummer says badass, H2 says I couldn't afford an H1 or I really dont need to be driving this.

It's becaue they aren't neccessary. Their niche is way larger than it should be.Originally posted by SlyI don't think there's any car hated as much as the H2. I don't get it. I like them.
I have nothing against the vehicle itself, but I don't think people should drive it in suburban areas. There is not one good arguement you can make to jusify driving it in suburban areas.
It gets bad MPG, it's expensive, other cars that have it's cargo space are way cheaper.
Hummer started off as an all terrain vehicle. It wasn't meant for driving the kids around. Van's and SUV's were made for that.Comment

Nah, your crossing brand barriers. I'm talking about models.Originally posted by frankfortunaSo I assume using your logic, one could say the same about Japanese luxury car owners? I guess you couldn't afford a German car, eh?
One can argue that the top of the line RL is nicer than a simiar MB or BMW. One can't argue that the TL is more luxurious than the RL.Comment

They aren't necessary? Neither are $200 designer jeans. So what.Originally posted by wedouglasIt's becaue they aren't neccessary. Their niche is way larger than it should be.

The only "good" argument needed is: people want them!
You work hard. You make the money. You buy products you WANT.
Are $150k cars necessary? No. So why do people buy them? Because they want them.
By the way, low end BMW's and Mercedes suck. Only wankers that can't afford the high end models buy them in hopes of looking "cool".Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

Everyone online likes to dog hummers but in real life they all want rides.. Go figure.. I bought my h2 for the lux and space.. The h2 is both bigger inside and nicer than the h1.. So unless you work on a farm or are just into offroading ginormous trails forget the h1. I love my h2. I dont offroad it at all. Plus it pisses off the tree huggers and thats fun.
This was mine 1 week after i got it. I have no new pics dont know why:

I guess my problem with them is that you can by more luxurious cars for less money that are better made, more efficient, and will do exacly the same thing you will do in your Hummer.Originally posted by SlyThey aren't necessary? Neither are $200 designer jeans. So what.

People are paying for something that they won't use to it's full potential. Why not get a Luxury SUV? Not like you need the towing power of the H2 or it's offroading abilities if you just drive to work and pick your kids up from school.Comment

Sorry, you are mistaken, I bought it in November of 2004, it's definitely a 2005. It has the upgraded black interior, which wasn't even an option in 2004.Originally posted by MrJackMeHoffThats a 2004 in the pic, theres differences.Comment

And thats exactly what I don't have a problem with. If you need something it offers, thats fine.Originally posted by MrJackMeHoffI use it all.. Honestly if they come out with a longer version I'd buy it.
My problem is with the people who buy it for the sake of owning a Hummer. You gotta agree that tons of Hummer owners buy them to look cool, not because they need a Hummer.
I have no problem with people who use/buy lavish thing as long as they make good use of them.Comment

Ok maybe just as far as I know there should be lights on the bumper corners and the tire rack is missing too among other things.Originally posted by frankfortunaSorry, you are mistaken, I bought it in November of 2004, it's definitely a 2005.

I don't know about any lights on the bumper corners. I don't think the lux model comes with a tire rack, perhaps it's an option. My spare is in the back next to the 3rd row seat of course.Originally posted by MrJackMeHoffOk maybe just as far as I know there should be lights on the bumper corners and the tire rack is missing too among other things.Comment

Heres the back of mine vs a 2004 I have this from another thread b4Originally posted by frankfortunaI don't know about any lights on the bumper corners. I don't think the lux model comes with a tire rack, perhaps it's an option. My spare is in the back next to the 3rd row seat of course.

Interesting, maybe I haven't paid close attention, but I don't recall ever seeing that light arrangement on a H2 before. Your bumper looks different also, but that may be due to the external tire rack option.Originally posted by MrJackMeHoffHeres the back of mine vs a 2004 I have this from another thread b4

I'm going to assume your talking about the H2.
Listen, the H2 is not off-road capable. It sits on a Tahoe chassis for Christ's sake. Sure you 'll be able to drive down a gravel road in the back woods of South Carolina. Other than that your asking for trouble. You will never ever see an off-road enthusiast who runs trails with an H2. I have seen a couple Hummers running trails though it's few and far between. Hummers can go off-roading and are certainly built for it. Though you will rarely see one on the trails as their base price is 130,000.
So.. The point is, no one should own an H2 even if they do off-road. If your going to go off roading there is only one vehicle. JEEP.

I take mine offroading, over logs and through small rivers. Its scratched up quite a bit, especially underneath with all the big rocks that I've kicked up under it. Skid plates protect the important parts though, I'm not really concerned.[QUOTE=DavieVegas]Now i apologize for people who I have scammed in the past or future.QUOTE]Comment
