Why does everyone think Hummers are so great?

[BigRedCat]

Everytime I see a Hummer roll up around here everyone is gawking at it like its a Ferrari or something. What's the big deal? Seems like an overpriced look at me I have a teeny-peeny mobile. Its funny how the guys I see in them are always business guys trying to look "rugged". Whatever.

Hell, all you guys on here drive trucks anyway. You probably love the Hummer.

 

[the People's Champ]

I like the gov't issue hummers. got to drive those through all kinds of terrain, wet or dry. as far as the civilian ones? those suck. its like trying to make a bmx bike that much more comfortable

 

[TxArmyGuy]

If those Motherfuckers could see how difficult working under the hood of them could be they wouldn't like it too much


to think the mechanics of my unit deem it necessary for someone with no real mechanical skills such as myself had to change out ball joints, alternators, little ass gass filter that is fit in an UNGODLY to reach place


ARRRHHH!!!!I HATE HUMMERS!!!

 

[Testosterone boy]

Never seen one on a real 4 WD trail. Its for wanna be's. real men drive jeeps and trucks and stuff.

 

[prophet]

My best friend drives a hummer H1....it is a cool truck, not a luxury sedan that for sure

and working under the hood is hard only because the parts are so damn big and heavy...

 

[aalox]

I think it's a status symbol for a lot of people. The bigger your vehicle, the greater your "status."

 

[TxArmyGuy]

Ask your friend about the Gas filter

if he knows anything about it I'm sure his nuckles will cringe

 

[Rockafella Skank]

My god, man! Have you never had one??!!

 

[the People's Champ]

I like hummers because you can stand on the hood and not have a big ass crease in the middle when you step off. as far as maintenance goes, well I was a tank mechanic.

 

[BigRedCat]

It is totally a status thing. "Look at me, I have a tiny cock, but hey I have this sweet yellow Hummer H2, how bout' it lizadiesss.....?"

Its weird, same with Vipers. I like Vipers but they are somewhat crap. You see people stare at them but no one passes a second glance at the dickhead lawyer driving a 120,000 Mercedes. Maybe most people dont know what nice cars really cost. I would take a Ferrari Modena over a Mercedes that costs the same? Wouldn't you?

 

[sermon_of_mockery]

i thought this thread was about blowjobs,I'm outa here

 

[TxArmyGuy]

Well CHamp would you expect a commo guy to do routine maint. on a hummer when you were in the service?

 

[prophet]

Ask your friend about the Gas filter

if he knows anything about it I'm sure his nuckles will cringe

i know about that, they have some special mechanism that seperates the water from the diesel also

 

[TxArmyGuy]

total pain in the ass I tell ya

 

[MP5]

Hummers are too big for traditional 4 wheel drive trails due to a wide ass wheel base. You won't see one on the Rubicon trail etc.

As far as the Viper goes, it smokes all the other fast cars out there. I saw it on TV, they had a sports car shootout and the Viper smokes all of them.

 

[gettinlarger]

H1s are cool. I hate the new H2s. Ugliest vehicle since the Aztek, IMO. They totally ruined the awesomeness of the Hummer.

 

[beefybull]

i thought this thread was about blowjobs,I'm outa here

Hilarious

 

[buckydingdong]

Don't be so jealous MANG

 

[sigweed]

why not spend the money on a car thats actually fast, like an m5 or something

the reason people dont stare at those 120,000 benz's like they do at the vipers is because of the rarity of the vipers. How often do you walk down the street and a brand new viper rips down the road? Not very often. But how often do you see a Mercedes drive down? pretty damn often. Now try and tell me that 90% of the population could tell you a single difference between a $50,000 E320 and a $100,000 E55? thats why people could care less when they see a benz or bmw, cause they dont know or even really want to know difference. the only thing going through their simplton heads is "hey, that car looks like it goes fast."

So we have an "all out" 4WD vehicle complete with massive ground clearance, hydraulic winch etc. that one can not go 4 wheeling with.

Its a good military vehicle and a status symbol.

 

[bullett]

I agree... The Hummer H2 looks like a big friggin box. I wouldn't want one, give me an Escalade (I have one) or a tricked up Denali, or a tricked up and finished Excursion, if you want something that big, and you want to spend major bucks, but its gotta have some style....

 

[Themachine01]

sorry guys, I think the H2 is bad ass. I am a big SUV fan and absolutely love the H2. I have driven one and would definately buy one if I had the money.

The thing that I dont like is when someone buys an SUV, any SUV, just for the looks and never let it see the offroad.

About 90% of the SUV crowd has never been offroad.

 

[LivinLarger]

I have more miles in the Army issue hummer than I can remember while I was stationed with the 10th mountain Div out of NY, and I can tell you from experience that they can go through/over anything. Trees, swamps, rivers, people, camels, whatever you need to go through they will get the job done.
Awesome vehicle, heavy but tough as nails.
In the Army if someone ever did actually manage to stick one they never heard the end of it.
We did actually get one caught up in constetina wire (Somali road block)in Somalia, we had to abandon it because we were pinned down and under fire from weapons and the rocks were raining down on us.
Even though UN troops were assigned to guard it (they had armored APC's with machine guns) they let them drag it 100yrds away and burn it to the ground. We had to go in later and retrieve it with a chinook.

Just curious as to why having a big truck means you have a small dick. If it is true, then wouldn't having big muscles mean you have a small dick, or a big house, etc...

 

[prophet]

they are coming out with the H3 is going to be smaller than the H2

 

[minion]

The new smaller versions I guess would be cool.
But the full size HumV is over kill for the street or the trails. That's kinda what makes it cool though.
Same for street legal super cars and motorcycles.

First of all, the H2 is a $50,000 P.O.S. for pretenders who can't afford the real deal.

Try on a fully loaded $120,000 H1 wagon for size. Fun as all hell to drive, can go over anything, and I don't have to worry about wearing my seatbelt if you know what I mean.

And what you're missing is the fact that's it's a rolling tax deduction. Because it has a GVR over 6500lbs (12000, actually), it can be written off with accelerated depreciation (5 years). That gives me a $23,000 write-off in 2002.

BTW- show me a $165,000 Mercedes, 'cause that's pretty much what a Modena will run you if you want one today.

I drive a H1 and love it!

 

[Hengst]

When I lived in DC, the ONLY people to drive hummers were homosexuals.

Truly, the pretty boy gym in Dupont had one. The muscle-marys would drive around the neighborhood draped over it in tight tank tops thinking they were the shit. It was a joke to see it on the city streets.

I thought they didn't have a price (or production) for that yet.
I also would hardly compare that to a sports-type car. I was thinking more along the lines of the SLR or the SL55 which run in the $140's.

Shit, why dont we post up a pic of the Bently series? Every one of those (after taxes) runs $200-300,000!

I don't understand. Why does weight of the veichle have to do with tax deductions? please explain.

Our tax code is a fucking joke designed for maximum employment along with a plethora of legal and penal opportunities. Ask 1000 tax men and you will get 1000 answers. Lawyers know the system pretty well, most of them do not pay any income tax.

We need a flat tax of about 5%.

 

[gtrcivic]

The H2 uses the Suburban platform and body panels are to make it look like a Hummer, suspension, wheels/rims. Think it looks like crap in my opinion. I'm trying to get a used 97 Hummer Wagon next year for about $30k +- w/ 50,000 miles on it. It will be my 2nd/weekend car.

I know what you mean about the black Hummer from Results Gym. See them driving around the District in the summer trying to look cool. Remind of the guys in that Ben Stein movie about models with the surfer dude.

what are you talking about-----You would take a Ferrari anyday but an H2 is a status thing........A quarter of a million dollar car isn't a status thing?????????????Give me a break-----

If you saw a guy in a suit and tie driving the very Ferrari you want, you would saying the same thing that you said about the guy driving the H2...No?

 

[thebabydoc]

I don't understand. Why does weight of the veichle have to do with tax deductions? please explain.

Its weight qualifies the Hummer as (heavy) construction equipment which therefore subjects it to "accelerated depreciation" as a capital expenditure. This allows the asset to be depreciated over 5 rather than 10 years with a 20-30% "bonus" acceleration in the 1st year of use. That is why GMC/AMC can charge $110-130,000 for these things; they are super business expenses if you know how to use creative accounting and you make enough to have the need for such deductions.

 

[builtbc83]

The company that I work for has a H1 as a promotional vehicle, its from 1988 and is military surplus. It praticly LIVES in the mechanics bay at our local gas station cause there is ALWAYS somethign going wrong with it. Stalls out in the rain (real rugged ha?) and since it was made to navigate sand dunes the potholes on the streets of NYC are not very much fun to drive over....

Everyone HATES getting stuck driving that truck to an event...

b

 

[DangerousGrounds]

Reminds me of rich ass yuppies trying to be road warriors.

I know quite a few who had to buy 3,000.00 Cannodale Mountain Bikes around their subdivisions..
The biggest thing they jump is a 8" curb instead of a real mountain.

assuming I liked the SUVs I'd get this: The mercedes G55 AMG

My friend has that G500- he hates it. I didn't particularly like it either. Plus it's not eligible for accelerated depreciation.

WTF....that thing is about the ugliest vehicle ever. Plus you can't really do serious 4 wheeeling with it. Nobody is going to make posi tracks for the Benz crowd. You don't need 4WD traction to climb 100 yard driveways.

 

[Longhorn85]

You probably love the Hummer.

It's a good enough way for me to get around the battlefield. I could use those plush civilian seats and a layer of armor though.

 

[Testosterone boy]

If I could post a pic you guys would see a real 4WD. My Jeep. Your nuts would grow just looking at it. Actually it is not a Jeep, it is a mountain goat built for real safaris.

THAT TEENY PEENY SHIT IS BULLSHIT. WHAT THE FUCK DOES WHAT SOMEONE DRIVES HAVE TO DO WITH PENISES!!! PEOPLE WHO TELL OTHERS THEY ARE TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR HAVING A SMALL DICK ARE THE ONES WITH THE SMALL DICKS. THAT IS WHERE THAT BULLSHIT CORRELATION CAME FROM!!!


ANYWAY, HUMMERS ARE GREAT. WHAT OTHER VEHICLE IS LIKE IT? NONE. THE DEMOGRAPHIC FOR THEM IS BUSINESS PEOPLE AND OTHER TYPES OF PEOPLE WITH MONEY. BESIDES, MORE ATHLETES AND MUSIC INDUSTRY PEOPLE HAVE THEM THAN BUSINESS MEN. I'D BUY ONE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHENEVER I'M MAKING 6 FIGURES, I'M GOING TO BUY ONE. I'M NOT TRYING TO LOOK RUGGED AND I DONT HAVE A SMALL DICK. IF I GET ONE, IT WILL BE FOR 2 REASONS:

1) BECAUSE I LIKE THEM.
2) BECAUSE I FUCKING CAN!!!

I was in truck driver in the Army so I had my fill with big vehicle. I'm a sport cars kinda guys. I will say the military Humm Vs could do some amazing this like drive though 4 feet of water. I don't the Hummer can do that but I may be wrong.

as ugly and unconventional as it looks, it was voted best off road vehicle by road and track i believe, and many others.

id be down for one of those porsche SUVs though!

Our magazines pander to their advertisers. Hopefully you can use that issue for toilet paper if in a pinch. May not work so well since it is full of shit itself.

If you want a good off road vehicle, you must build it. Factory editions are made for driving to church in nice weather.
