" "One of the vehicles dropped by helicopter landed upside down; the
[Army] Rangers rolled it over and drove it away," Mac Nab said."

or how about its ability to climb a wall

Ok, maybe in the military they are practical, but in everyday circumstances, I don't think so. They are 8-feet wide! and HUMVEEs have beefed up suspension, CITS stock, and the slant rood. 195hp and 430 lb.ft. torque is a little bit low. But I guess its what you can expect out of a vehicle nearing a quarter of a century old!...Overall, I think they are over-rated.

I just love it ... it looks so spartan and huge

the H1 is the real hummer in my opinion.. that thing is a true tank.. made to run over land minds and still drive... i do not lie

hemi_fan · 03-02-2004, 05:04 PM

Yeah, id love an H1, while id never be caught dead in an H2. It really is my favourite off-road vehicle.

Well, you never know when you might need to climb over a 4 foot wall or pull that tree stump out of the ground as you're going to the grocery store.

The first civilian Hummer that I saw was up at Lake Tahoe during ski season. It was blazing a path through a snow-filled parking lot that came up to its grill. I also saw a Subaru Forester doing the same thing though...hahaha.

Absolute excess, I agree. But arguably, the same could be said of anything more powerful than a Honda Civic if you're talking everyday use. So, we have our Hummers, Lambos and Porsches.

love the H1, always did. big brutal looks with the offroad capability that is sick!
as for the H2, blahh!!

Silvia_Drift · 03-02-2004, 10:56 PM

Meh, I'm not really into off-road vehicles or off-roading in general. I like road racing and drifting better. I would never own a 4x4 truck or SUV unless I needed it for a job or something.

dragula_bassman · 03-02-2004, 11:22 PM

I am like Silvia_Drift, but the H1 is the bomb when it comes to off road capabilties for a stock vehicle. If you ask me, I would take a K5 blazer and do a little tweeking and get about the same performance for about 1/4 the cost

Why guzzle oil in such a crude way when you can guzzle in more elegant way? (corvette? viper?)

Haha, very true. I also saw a website dedicated to cars which got mangled by H1's. There was also...*ahem*, a wall which got in the way one of these brutes, and yes, the hummer was barely sctatched.

H1's are good but H2 in contrast sucks ass
