Hehe, yours? I mean the Hummer...umm, I mean the H2. :D Tight fit in the garage I see! :) Damn nice color!

Uh not to be a downer or anything, but didn't you see this thread?

Better make sure that cutie is wearing a belt!

lol they're both mine ;)
If I'm gonna try to put it in the garage I need to get the door spring tightened.
Syzygyone thats a sweet pic lol, I dont care what your driving a head-on with anything roughly same size/weight as you is going to do reciprocal damage. Although it looks like the H2's frame faired better. I'd expect the hood to shatter as it is fiberglass.
-
CHances are...if he just bought this H2 recently, some of those quality control issues are addressed in the later build-date autos. That was the case with my July-build car (they start production for the following year usually in August/Sept)
Just looked it up.. only two minor issues (recalls) with the early-build 2003 Hummers.
-
Acid, in the first pic are you worried about something or do ya just need a crap?

I still like the originall Hummer better. looks...meaner, with that angular frame.

Yeah, I know, I was j/k. They are waaaaay cool. I wanted an original but wife said No Wway! So when the H2 came out, I had hope. But, alas, college tuition came along ! Dang!
The pic shows that the personnel cab survived largely in tact. IIRC that collapsing front end thing was a design criteria taken from basic VOLVO concept.
Keep the shiney side up!
:D
-
So nice and shiney....boy you're going to howl when the first scratch appears! :eek:
We have Hummers up here in Maine. Brown. None of that sissy boy stuff, the guys up here get em nice and dirty (and wow....very cool)
Nice car, when are you adding the 50 cal mount? :p
-
Took it to San Antonio this weekend, wifies parents have some acreage in the hill country. lol there were some areas I wouldn't go through because of the brush. I just wish it rained more there wasn't any mud.
Sat in the H1 at the dealership, actually considered it for a moment, but the cost is to high for me. With my dad's GM employee discount I couldn't say no to the H2.
Anyone have a .50 in there closet they wanna sell cheap?
-
LOL
Well congrats, that's a neat rig...and Im sure you and the lady had ample room to appropriately "Christen" the back seat :p

I think I felt the climate warm a few degrees just downloading those pictures.:)

Don't let her drive it or you'll never get it back.
I lost my 4runner for 4 years that way. Had to buy her an Xterra just to get my beach truck back.
Question: what are the handles on the hood for? I was playing in a volleyball tourney this past weekend and they had an H2 set up for promo purposes. I tugged on the handles on the black thingy in the hood but it wouldn't budge. I was thinking it'd be a great place for a Hibachi. :p
-
I really like your H2 but damn GM just cant move beyond those cheap parts bin looking interiors, its really a shame as they make very good "cars" but they dont put the same thought into the interiors. This is really obvious in upmarket vehicles like this H2 and most shamefully the Corvette..

Yeah, we end up wrestling for it every morning :D
They're to open the hood, first you pull the latch release under the dash then undo the rubber latches on either side of the hood, then pull the hood open with those handles.
Didn't think to take pictures with the hood open.

Business Owner Chases, Runs Over Robbery Suspects In Hummer
Two Suspects In Critical Condition
"A business owner in Phoenix, Arizona took matters into his own hands after a group of men robbed his business, according to a Local 6 News report.
Police say three armed suspects walked into the Mr. Insurance building in Phoenix and demanded money. A fourth suspect was in the getaway car, according to the report.
Investigators said after the suspects left with the store's money, the co-owner jumped into his Hummer and chased after the suspects.
Police said that the man, identified only as Peter, followed the suspects through a neighborhood and eventually caught up with them. He then rolled his Hummer over their car.
Two of the suspects were taken to the hospital in critical condition.
The two other suspects managed to get away but police later caught them as well.
It is not known if Peter will face charges. "
If a whiney, hand-wringing Liberal has anything to do with it he will.....

This is by far one of the ugliest cars ive ever seen. Sry dont want to offend u Acid but i really dont like it.
-
I think I once lived in a flat smaller than that ;)
-
Shiat...I hope that spare tire is tied down nice and tight.
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again... hummers are for hommers.
Very nice though. I hope you plan to use it as designed. It always seems like such a waste when 4x4s get used for nothing more than the school run.

Acid, you might find this thread interesting :)

Why would you hope that an individual who has the freedom to use his vehicles the way he chooses that he use it the way YOU wish he use it? I know fellow that has 10 cars, sitting in a custom garage, all in prestine condition....I'd love to take a few of them out for a spin, but you know what...they're collectables and he chooses to leave them parked. I'd never consider telling him "Gee, I hope you use those cars as they were intended...." It would sound kinda dumb, like you. :)
-
lol no offence Duedel, one of the reasons I bought it was because I liked it. :)
And those of you that may be worried that it'll only get used for school runs or what not. . . . I have no kids, and yes it's already been off-road, either way, I bought, ifn i wanted to drive it off a 10k cliff I would, and aint nuttin you can do about it. :p
As to the sexual nature of the beast......my license plate will say
LILDIK ;) lol was also considerin CMPNS8N but think you can only get 6 letters.

Very nice Acid!

The whiney critical posts are all from the socialists....what a suprise.
WTG Acid.....still, the next vehicle you purchase should have the approval of duedel, frog and dowding before closing the sale...sheesh:)
-
what pisses the socialists off is that acid appears to be enjoying his life... what further pisses off some of em is that he appears to actualy have a sex life.

Buying an H2 shows you're way too gay to have a hottie like that. Send her over to the FDB clubhouse. Once she see's Creamo's 180,000 mile taurus, you'll never hear from her again.

I actually said it was a nice car, but don't let that stop your reactionary spiel.
And Ripsnort, I like to see cars do what they were designed to do. Nothing sounds better than a performance car stretching its legs, for example; it is aesthetically pleasing.
Another example would be observing a sail-boat skim across the waves on a breezy day compared to seeing it laid up in dry dock. Again, one is aethetically pleasing and the other isn't.
Let me know if you need any more examples to enlighten you.
-
Acid, you can read that as:
"Dowding would like you to post pictures of you off-roading with your new wheels."
:)
-
Dowding, your point was not missed, perhaps you should re-read my "reactionary spiel" with a lighter heart. ;)
It's kinda hard to get pictures of it off-road since everyone wants to be in it during the ride, and I don't trust my wife enough yet to drive it off-road while I standby to take pictures. When I do get some I will post them for your aesthetical pleasure.:D
-
My comments weren't aimed at you Acid, and in fact, I don't really think hommers drive hummers. Leo Sayer has one, for instance. ;)

Well, if you think about it, Socialist lefty would be "Most likely a vegetarian, with no job, protesting something, smoking pot, pasty white skinned boy pedaling his bellybutton off on a bike to buy more dope..."
Acid would tend to be the "Hard working, pays taxes, eats red meat, plenty of testosterone (looks at pic of his GF again) Drives a Man's Rig."
Case closed!

Hitler - a humourless, sexually frustrated German. Uptight neo-nazi types that ignore prominant characters in sitcoms if they happen to be gay or Jewish. Yep, the right wing is represented by thoroughly decent chaps.

A man's rig? I thought you said in that other thread that H2's are crap?
Sorry MiniT, told you I sold the love rocket taurus to the black dude at work. Bastard changed the stock Taurus hubcaps I had to scrounge out of the junk yard with some hoopty fake chrome ones.
-
I still think H2's are crap. I told Acid "Nice color" and I said it looks like a Man's rig. Their quality control is still questionable. I wouldn't buy one. I'd go F350 with a V10 personally. :)

If anyone has any links to quality control articles concerning this truck I'd appreciate it. I'd like to know what to look for and possibly do something about it before there is a problem.
I've been unable to find any so far while searching the web. Maybe I'm searching on the wrong keywords.
Maybe I can have the dealership take care of it as a warranty item.
So far I've only found a link where Nikko's scale 1/16 radio control H2 has issues.

All I've really heard about the H2 is that the steering wheel actuator has a problem with the pinned elevator nylon insert sleve being too small.

What year is your H2?
You can check for recalls here:

Will try to find that quality control issues article, its been about 8 months since I've seen it...

http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2003-05-06-quality_x.htm
Among individual brands, General Motors' popular Hummer scored dead last in J.D. Power and Associates' 2003 Initial Quality Survey. Buyers of the giant sport-utility vehicle apparently were surprised by its gas-guzzling ways.
Among brands, GM's Cadillac and Buick finished in the top five. But Hummer, the hot-selling big SUV inspired by the military Humvee and built off the Chevrolet Tahoe platform, scored 225 problems per 100 vehicles.
Corporate quality rankings...Toyota is #1, Porsche is #2, BMW is #3...

Yeah the gas milege is laughable, what *were* they thinking? But 225 problems per 100 vehicles...ruh roh....
I'm sure they've worked most of the quality control problems out by now..its always good to buy a late-season vehicle...never buy a vehicle in the first year of new inception is a good rule too.
-
The 2 recalls listed happened before mine was even built. 225 per 100 is counting the recall so not counting the recalls it's around 25 per 100. I also found a page with some "common problems" but they too seem outdated.

Yep, like I said, those problems show up early in any given year of production. My 330 had a problem with cooling fans in the engine igniting and flaming the car! :eek: They swapped out the Siemens fans for Bosche fans about 1/2 thru the production cycle to fix the problem. ;)
-
One thing to remember: JD Power's own studies show that there is no correlation between their initial quality results and long term reliability and durability.

Thats correct, its basically a list (facts and data) of defects (when a customer brings their car in for repair) while the car is under warranty...I personally see it as a sort of litmus test for long term quality issues.
-
Rip beat me to it. The NHTSA site is chock full of info on just about any make or model. All recalls of any kind must be submitted to NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Admin).
With the implementation of the TREAD Act, NHTSA will be administering the largest database in the government. Even bigger than the IRS.
-
Careful, the GM union workers will put GM out of business and you won't be able to get parts.

Nice H2 enjoy
It's great to be an American aint it?:D :D :cool:
If you can have it, want it, earned it, go for it.
When I want to feel good about my freedoms I go to my hanger and look at my plane (and touch it yes ;) ).
Like a Harley owner Friend says when people ask "if ya gotta ask ya just don't get it"... I kinda like that
Be cool and safe, enjoy both items in the pics.
