Hummer H2

I've been driving an '05 Hummer H2 the last few days -- decent shape with 45k miles.


That said, it's a total piece of shi t. Rattles like an old wagon, slow, terrible handling for a truck, wheel arches are rusting, interior looks cheap and rattles. GM deserves to be where it is now.

Ya, in our bloody pockets for a bailout.

The H2 is a mix of 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton running gear. It probably feels like a 3/4 ton pickup in driving feel.

Hummer

I'm still waiting for Hummer #1. My wife says she doesn't do such things.

I feel sorry for you already...I had to drive one a few times and hid myself at all times while in the drivers seat....

What did you do to deserve this punishment?

I drove it around because it has gas and my S600 is near empty, plus I don't want to the miles on my car. I'm trying to sell it so...

I'll bum around in it for a while, then it's off to the bodyshop to repair the rust spots.

I like Yukon/Denali/'Burbs/'Scalades pretty well, but the H2 is so pointless.

indeed it is. the h1 was developed for a specific purpose. Although totally impractical for civilian use I like the purposful look of it. Rivets!

The H2 and 3 are poseurs through and through. Built for an aesthetic reason (see above cartoon) and unredeeming gas hogs.

The H3 is actually a reasonably good off-road vehicle. The H2? Bleh...never did a thing for me.

The H2 is a joke, unless your .50 or a .50 wannabe you shouldn't own one.

Send it to India, plenty of gullible macho fools willing to pay the bucks for it, GM made good cash here with the Hummer H2.
