MAR 10

In some parts of the world some people shoot RPGs at passing Hummers.
Maybe that's illustrative of the general consensus that they are not much liked.

Um, that would be HumVEEs, the military kind. Show some respect for the troops. I'm not a big Hummer fan but let's not confuse misguided military policy and hatred of American interference with an inefficient car. Those are real people getting killed (on both sides).

I know.
But by the same token let's not mistake an obvious (albeit dark) attempt at satire from being a genuine disrespect for what is happening over there.

:D
They're just pissed at how much oil it burns.

your all assholes, i love the hummer, im glad it pisses you off because it polutes so much, and i personally think its assholes like you who have nothing better to do but complain about stuff that you want it discontinued, if i new who started the eco madnass shit i would personally burn his/her house, puch them in the face and take his dog. o yea and if he had children i would kidnap them and not give them back until all the assholes just left the eco crap alone and let us live life how we want to, i dont care if one of my 4 suvs might possable polute the earth, my life, i drive what i want.

ALL TREE HUGGERS SHOULD DIE

I drive what I want because I have the freedom to drive it. I don't need any Homo-Euro suicide box that gets 40mpg bring back the h1 and screw all tree huggers if you can't afford 4$ gas tough. I can. This planet was screwed up before I was born and it will still suck after I'm dead! You wanna save the planet nukes China that's less pollution to deal with and less lead paint! Otherwise, Just shut the hell up!

H2's are as ugly as the Pontiac Azteks. GM shoulda known that from the Get-Go. Then again, GM isn't a very creative company to begin with. They should have kept the H1s and not overprice it. At least H3's are more affordable and less ugly.

The comments by "tommy" and "Porter" reflect the mindless and violent mind set of many of those who buy these dangerous, irresponsible, fugly vehicles. The fact that GM relentlessly promotes them and other large SUVs has earned for them my abiding contempt.

Truth is, I have never seen a particularly good looking person driving one either. Proves that anyone driving that monstrosity is defintely overcompensating. Yes, the posts by the Hummer lovers above proves the obvious lack of intelligence too. In nature when a rabbit warren becomes to populated, a pregant rabbit will reabsorb the fetus to control population levels...I've often wondered why a human fetus lacking intelligence is not treated the same way. Too bad, those of us with sense would not have to deal with these inferior beings and the crap that they bring with them.

You have to be successful to drive a H2 Hummer, just like Al Gore and his private Jet. Don't be Jealous, just work hard and maybe someday you can afford an awsome vehicle as well. Jealousy will get you no where. Hummers are the best 4 Wheel drive vehicles on the road.

I agree with Tommy, Porter, & King. I love my H2 (I just traded in my '05 for an '08!) and not only is it a hot car, its a safe car! What would you rather be driving in an accident?....an H2 or a Smartcar!?! Please people, get over yourself! Why not complain about Ford Excursions? Why not complain to the cruise ship companies buring thousands of gallons of fuel a day? Because its not about "saving the earth"....its about jealousy! A Hummer is an American car....support the USA that way and dont give money away to companies like Toyota (buying that ridiculous bicycle....I mean....car they call a Prius). The Hummer is a hot car that costs alot of money to maintain and all those that cant foot the bill are just jealous! People just like to hear themselves complain and all those "go green" idiots should just shut up already! If youre not successful/lucky enough to drive an H2, dont hate those that are....just enjoy looking at those people that can block the sun for that quick second as they pass you by in your Prius!
P.S. The H3 is just a Jeep with a Hummer label....get the real thing!

While i respect the view of the treehuggers. I realy like my H2. What price do you put on the saftey of your wife and Kids. I feel that I family is safer in my H2 then other cars on the road.I will agree that they use alot of gas. Out thats a small price to pay for the saftey of my family

I wake up in the early morning for work and the first thing I do is peek out the window at [snowy] my birch white H2. This truck might suck back alot of fuel but I also have a Range Rover & Ford King Ranch and thier not much better on fuel, But is that what it's really about? I dont think so, and I very much dought it's About someone can't afford one, if someone want's something/anything trust me they find a way to GET IT. I rather think they should focus there attention to the oil companies in general, we all know they have the money and people to make a greener more earth friendly engine for the H2 and all cars but wont make one because bottom line that takes money out of their pockets? right?

Hummers are good because you can draft behind them in your car. You won't run into them because those jokers are so heavy they don't stop quite as well as a more agile car.

I have a 9 year old volvo, still getting 25 mpg in the city, gets 32 highway driving with the AC off, windows up, behind an H2. A friend's sister got hit by a bus in a volvo and she walked away. Safety isn't always in something big. Sometimes safety is more about avoiding an accident and designing the vehicle for survivability rather than 'big'

PS if you own a hummer and drive less than 10 miles a day, you're cool, don't worry about the criticism.

Wow, well I'll start with addressing the original post. Hank, to say that the H2 is GM's iconic vehicle is not just a stretch, its completely incorrect. GM's iconic, halo vehicle is the Corvette, without a doubt. Beyond that, I'd say the Silverado would be their next icon with the H2 far down the list.

And to everyone bickering about the need for fuel-efficient vehicles versus what people want to drive, leave it alone. Supply & demand is already taking care of the issue, for the most part. Sure, there will always be people who will pay for big engines and power (just look at all the Range Rovers in England, even with their gas prices) and the rush for fuel efficient small cars in the US is on.

I ordered a Tesla roadster. I never have to drive offroad, like 99% of us. I luckily can afford to drive any 20 cars I want, but what you drive is more about image than reality, given that the real crime is that we all insist on driving cars alone everywhere, and have no mass transit system.

But that being said, the image of an H2 driver is exactly like the previous posters - stupid dumb fucks who don't know they are living in the past, and are outclassed but don't know it yet.

who the fuck gives a shit you are all so stupid
you can all kiss them goodbye because there not gunna be around for too much longer. plus they get like 10miles to the gallon.. so your an idiot for driving one and wasting money and stupid shit.. and for the person that said your stupid for buying a toyota.. look at you buying allllll that gas that who knows gets the money for. for sure not america... so why dont you all realize that its time to fucking think abou tthe planet and not about some stupid suv that really doesnt do much, because im sure you all drive it around town and think everyone is like omg what a cool car.. but really everyones like what an idiot for driving that gas guzzler..

:)Obviously people who drive Hummers have enough $$$$ for the gas! My hubby paid for my H2 in Cash. Why is everyone picking on the H1 & H2 but not thinking other ways to conserve? I don't think people think I'm an idiot for driving a gas guzzler and if they do then they obviously have nothing better to think about... I LOVE LOVE LOVE my H2. It gives me plenty of room to carry my Son, his stroller and anything I buy when I go shopping or grocery store... I have more room to add another car seat to the back for when we have our next one. I also have a Lexus RX330 with Rims on it and to be honest I only get 3 more miles per gallon in that as to my Hummer. (Rims on your car make it use more Gas. I'm not sure why but I get less MPG since they have been on.) Check how much MPG you get before you start judging others!!! My H2 10.4 MPG, My small LEXUS RX330 13.2 MPG, My Chrysler 300 15.2 MPG. (No room for my Son's Car seat and stroller.) EVERYTHING USES GAS! I use less gas then someone who has to travel 30, 40 or more miles to work every day! :- I agree with the others who asked what about the Cruise Ships you like to go on for vacation or the private Jets your favorite Celebrity, Deligate or Sports Team uses to get from place to place? DON'T GET RID OF THE H2!!! I HEART IT SO!!!

(for brian, the comment above my 2) :D AWWWWWWW, Brian stop ranting... You sound like a Jealous Psycho. It's OK you drive a Toyota, drive it with a smile. ;D You're saving money on gas. GOOOOO BRIAN! I drive a Lexus too which is a glorified Toyota... I don't think I'm cool for driving my H2, I already know I'm awesome. Save up for that HUMMER, you can do it! And smile buddy someone loves you. YOU'RE SPECIAL!!! Also, Brian is raving about the plantet and what an insesitive fuck us HUMMER Drivers are but he leaves the water running while he brushes his teeth, he doesn't recycle and he refuses to use CFL Light bulbs. :o Oh Brian you are so naughty!

To be honest you guys, seriously ending the hummer is not going to solve the planets eco problem. THe United States uses 20 million barrels of fuel a day(back in 2004). SOOO let me ask you something, is it going to make a difference to stop the hummer h2. People will keep driving cars. Gas will still be burnt. The world is fucked anyway with all the nuclear wars and stuff going on. Furthermore why are h2s the only car being scapegoated for the eco problems. THe Ford Excursion gets the same fucking thing. What about the people who drive 40 to 50 miles a day just to get to work. Or the lack of mass transit in the united states. And yet another example, cruises, private jets. Private jets guzzle more gas than you can imagine faster than you can imagine to carry ummmmmmm 4 to 12 people. The world will not change with the end of hummers. So fucking stop dreaming that the sky will clear up. IT WONT. ;D

Hummer haters truly do not understand SUV's / trucks in general. A new H2 will get more mpg, than an older SUV. It would be nice if people did their research before they opened their mouths. We have a 2007 H2, that gets 16 mpg (we upgraded the exhaust and did an air intake, which helped with fuel consumption). We recently traded our 2000 Lincoln Navigator in (for a 2007 Dodge Charger SRT8, which gets 9 mpg. We also upgraded the exhaust and did air intake, which made it ALOT faster, so it burns fuel faster, & decreases the mpg....oh well, it is VERY FUN to drive!!) The Navigator got 11 mpg, which is obviously LESS than our H2.
Back to the SRT8, nobody says anything negative about that car, but it gets WAY LESS than the H2. Why is that?? Because people really do not care about the environment, gas consumption, ect. All they car about is seeing a very large vehicle besides / behind them & it intimidates them. They know that if we (h2 owners) collide with them, THEY ARE SCREWED!!! Sorry, but saving a few extra dollars on gas, is not worth my life. I can't believe people actually put the environment before their own personal safety.

Not to mention the cargo space in a hybrid vehicle. How do you people buy big items?? Has there ever been a time that you went shopping and could not get something, because it would not fit in your car?? If it will not fit in the H2, it is ok, because I will attach the trailer to it and haul it that way. How do you people do it with sardine type cars???

This is a test

OK, Lets see, haters, haters, haters hiding behind a phosaude of ECO Friendly tree hugging obligations. Americans are totally wrapped up in FADS and H2s but more over SUVs in general are just that, FADS.

Now, As we all can agree, Americans love their cars, muscle, Trucks or Prius and the looks of each one is in the eye of the beholder. Just like your wifes, Im sure we all wont think your wifes are as hot as you think they are. Is the H2 ugly, sure, is it cool? For sure.

Everyone is jumping ship on $4 a gallon. I say Fuck it, who cares, unless your driving a BIKE or skateboard your polutting the earth as well. Does the H2 make sense? Does wearing your hat backwards or pants around your waist, or driving a car so small you cant even carry more than 2 people? NO they dont, I think the ones that complain are the childish of all. Why dont you grow the Fuck up, Your not paying for my gas or monthly bills and as said earlier, the world is bad enough long before and after me being here.

I do not own a H2, cant afford one, I have an H3 but really not have a need for such a big SUV, are they nice, yep but to each their own. In the time it took me to write this note, 2mil barrels of fossil fuels have been burned.

Your frigging whiners, haters, mind your own buisness and dont worry about other people, you might be better off.

I might just let my H3 idle all night so I can get 9 MPG just to piss you babies off. God I hate people.

I forgot,

For you tree huggers, I think Im going to put a hole in my H3 Gas tank so I can leak out even more fuel than im burning, I want to do my part in global warming. Its my world you just live in it.

I dont understand why people have to put down the Hummer and the owners. It all comes down to being jealous. They are a great vehicle. Very comfortable, lots of room, and look great. Yes they use alot of gas, but they are not the only vehicle that use lots of gas. Its a personal choice of what someone wants to drive, and everyone is intitled to drive what they want so really people should stop making such inappropriate comments. Everyone has there own money and spend it on what ever they please.
Again if you dont own a hummer, you dont understand how great they are, if you had a chance to drive one or own one your oppion would change. They are GREAT.

Dang, now you'll have to find something else to hate to maintain your artificial sense of superiority over someone else. I always wondered, if I sell my H2 and get a motorcycle, does that make everyone else a-holes? I mean, as long as you have got someone else doing worse than you, you're golden, right? Reminds of the story about the person who went to church twice a year who felt absolved as long as there were other members who only went once a year - makes em twice as good in the eyes of god, right? Fact of the matter is, whether it's 10 MPG or 20 MPG, the overall effect on the environment and economy is roughly the same. The problem is bigger than pointing at a couple of vehicle makes and models. In the interim, I will pay the premium for driving what I want to drive. My last truck was a 2003 dodge 1500 which got maybe 12 MPG on a good day, but you won't find any web sites and comments dedicated to hating the rather innocuous pickup truck. By the way, it had roughly the same dimensions as the hummer, only a whopping two inches more narrow. Do you know that eliminating EVERY gasoline vehicle in the US will only reduce oil consumption by about 40%, a decrease that will be offset in less than two years assuming a reasonable economic growth rate?

I am definitely not jealous of a hummer. I wouldn't take one for free.

And don't give me that crap about you having a right to drive it, because that's MY planet you're screwing up.

I will take my keys to every panel of every hummer I see. And you will be surprised how many people won't call the cops.

Are these posts for real? Hummers and their owners are disgusting. Absolutely sickening.

Jesus crist people, i have a 2004 ford mustang and i took the cats off of it. so i think that is a lot worse than a hummer.

Wow!!1!. I had no clue people where so ignorant.Stop the fucken war and then you just might see a difference in global Warmming. A H2 is no different than a pick up truck seriosly.... Grow up. Oh and for ... Key my trck and Ill run over your car/bike.

Why would you take your keys to a hummer? Would you wait around for the driver to show up, or run away like a scared bitch? If I knew who you were or where to find you I would show up outside your door. My hummer is protected by smith and wesson, and I think that's the feel that most hummer drivers are going for. They are bigger, stronger, and more powerful than you will ever be. It's the point.

TO EACH HIS OWN I LOVE MY HUMMER IM SURE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SMARTCARS LOVE THEM TO. WHAT IS THE BEEF? YOU MAKE PURCHASES BASED ON PERSONAL PREFERENCE THE 2008 HUMMER USES AS MUCH GAS AS A FULL SIZE TRUCK AND USES AS MUCH GAS AS A SMALL GAS MOTORHOME. I DONT SEE ANYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THOSE VEHICLES.

I just don't get it. We live in America, home of the free but for some reason some people believe that they should have the right to impose their opinions on others.

I am an honest, giving person who cares about the environment AND I OWN A HUMMER! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT! I don't tell environmentalists what to do with their time nor should they tell me what to do with mine.

I love my Hummer and as long there is one to own I will do so. I just don't get why some idiots are so against it. There is no reason for this except their need to try to control and if I remember correctly, that is very much like a communist country or dictatorship.

Let's see if you whackos can try to keep your arrogant noses out of our business.

Listen: Everyone should be concerned to some degree with the environment but there is also a level of ridiculousness. I submit most Americans ( mostly liberals who think reality TV is truely "real" and the liberal press and liberal democrats) like to feel sorry for themselves and want to not to think for themselves. They all want to be the first person to mug in fornt of a camera or emabress themselves on Jerry Springer, just so they can be seen or heard, no matter how stupid they look or sound or how they embaress themselves orr the country and Hummer brand seems to be a call to arms on this issue.
Let it go people! Ever think that there are some who may really NEED the capabilities of a H2 or H3? HMmmnn didnt think about that when you where trying to key my H3 huh Scott you nitwit.
I agree that scoccer moms driving 1 mile to deliver their one kid to school in a H1 Alpha or a F450 SuperDuty is retarded but when I live in the midwest and it snows I want to go when I need to go. When I go hunting a prius just wont handle it. When I need to buy, move,tow,go mudding or just be safe my H3 is jsut what I need so you shuold respect that decision, one that I made being full aware that Gas at time was sellign for 4.50 a gallon. My neighbors were screaming the George Bush himself together with Detroit did all of this on purpose, had he and his family ( 1 kid and a wide, and doesn't tow anything ) bought a Ford Excursion and they are now being screwed by the aforementioned people that it gets lousy mileage. And yes they voted for Al Gore too.
If you need a multi-purpose offroad vehicle that is very handy and mine, by the way, gets 20 around town and 26 on the highway with 4 adults in it all the time, plus I tow 3500lbs behind it on a regular basis, the Hummer H3 is the best value for you. If you want to make multiple trips to the store, dont mind the AC breaking down or just being plain inadequete, love all the creaks and groans and poor visability from the vehicle and at the vehicle and don't care what happens to you in the most minor of traffic accidents ( I have seen plenty and with the prius, they are always universally gorey ) Buy a toyota prius and leave other peoples choices up to them you commie. This is America

PEOPLE SUCK LIFE GOES ON! WHATS THE NEXT TOPIC FOR RANTING AND RAVING?

This has become quite an interesting topic. On one hand you have all the folks who believe that anything non-green is the end of the world, and seek to impose that on everyone. On the other hand, you have the "might make right" crowd, who I don't like either. Interestingly, I would wager that many of the green crowd, Prius drivers et al, live in suburbs with a fairly lengthy commute to work. The suburban sprawl mindset is way more damaging to the environment, including emissions, than a truck or SUV. However, Hummer aficionados need to realize that the Hummer is not just reviled for its poor emissions, but for the resulting attitude it portrays. It portrays a need for excess, almost bordering on arrogance. Pre-Hummer generations have got on just fine for years without your vaunted "extra space". Many Hummer owners do not NEED the extra capabilities that it affords. For most, we do not NEED off-road capabilities or towing capabilities that cannot be met by other vehicles. In addition, the extra weight/poor braking/bulky handling of a Hummer makes it that much more dangerous for drivers in smaller vehicles on the road and makes it ill-suited to high-traffic areas. The added size affects EVERYONE'S visibility and makes it more difficult to park well, making crowded parking lots more difficult to use.

Please understand, you all suck equally. However, Hummer owners are simply more vocal about it.

I love my H2 Hummer and it only gets 10.9 miles to the gallon. Hey, at least I can afford it unlike you Obama crank licking dirt bags.

I just purchased a Hummer H2. One of my reasons for choosing it is the knowledge that liberal Democrats will feel a red hot rage and have their blood pressure rise just seeing me. Knowing that makes my day!

I love my H2 but I am one of those who only drives 5 or 6 miles a year. I do get the finger a lot! lol but I burn less fuel and emit less pollution than the soccer moms who drive suvs and minivans. I also drive very defensive around smaller vehicles as I know there would be no contest between my H2 and their smaller vehicles. I'm sorry for all of you who hate the H2. It's different lookin but it's a nice riding vehicle with lots of room. OH and for the record, our 2008 Tahoe gets the exact same gas mileage as the H2.

Guess everyone wants one, just nobody wants to pay to get one, or to give one. Do you give Hummers? Don't really want a Hummer, I prefer the more conventional "vehicles of recreation".

I have a 2006 H2, my roomate has a 1996 H1, there are a total of 5 Hummers on our 1 mile street right now. For a town of 90,000 people I am willing to bet we have the most Hummer's, Viper's, Corvette's and Cadillac's etc. per capita. This town is here to house the thousands of workers who help produce oil out of the ground in the Canadian north. Our attitude for the most part up here I believe is, if you can afford it,
buy it. And our vehicles gas tank guage never sees half full. We have the money to drive these types of vehicles and keep gas in them no matter what the price. Furthermore, if if wasn't for people like myself and a million others who work to produce fossil fuels Smart Cars would be parked too. I have to get the shit out of the ground so I'll burn the stuff in whatever vehicle I choose. I'm not going to pinpoint others comments here but...thank you to those for pointing out that Suburbans, Tahoe's and Excursion's etc. are just as much gas guzzlers as any Hummer...difference is, what is more easily recognizable on the road and easier to remember the name of? Get a clue Hummer bashers, there's a hell of alot more vehicles that are just as hard. As one person mentioned...Do your research. And thanks to the person for mentioning that some people do indeed use there Hummers for off-road use, like most of us up here....and in the winter time after an all night snow blizzard at -35 below I'm not late for work whether the highway is plowed or not and the Prius? or Smart Cars? whatever you call them are all in there Garages, or under the patio steps wherever you people park those things.

I have no interest in prius or the like cars. The total cost of ownership (including the cost of government credits which ultimately have to be collected by raising taxes) is simply too high. And it is basically worthless for going hunting. I would much rather have an H2. Industry also needs to return the business model where people will be able to do their own car repairs without having to go through years of training.

Since I drive a Hummer that gets 8 mpg, I installed a solar panel (made in America) that looks cool. Now my patriotic car doesn't produce emissions and I am awesome. It only cost $70,000 if you can't afford it too bad.

Both sides should be happy now.

Only a true idiot would buy a Hummer in today's economy and gas prices.

I have a small penis so naturally I bought a huge Hummer H2 to overcompensate for my inadequacies.
Now I can get dates but cant seem to keep them when they find out how broke I am from maintaining this overpriced piece of do-do or maybe its my microscopic pee-pee

You should all lock yourselves in a room and choke on the exhaust fumes from an H1 Alpha. Damn tree huggers.

The best feature of the hummer H2 is the windshield wipers. It's sooo ugly

You realize 9 mpg or 90 mpg, the earth's temperature rises one degree every year. So animals with less of a percent of water will die every year. This means the world could end in twenty years if we KEEP BUYING HUMMERS. Plus, the H2 is the most pointless car in the world. We don't want cars that will drive over boulders and through mud (with the possible exception of a subaru outback) if we just use them to drive to work.
