I was talking to this dude from Austin
H1 was the real deal. Interesting note--GM owns the "Hummer" brand
but never owned the design, which continues to belong AM General, which is not a part of GM. Meanwhile AM General has their own brand, "Humvee", which is a registered trademark. Whether they have a street-legal civilian model though I have no idea. I've ridden in a Humvee and its performance and capabilities were very impressive. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

Ahnoled drive the big HumVee. The 'real' one. Look at from either behind or the front. If you see differentials, it ain't a 'real' one. The H2 is basically a Suburban. The H3 is petty much a Chevy Colorado. |

He does, he does.The leasing company my automotive buddy works for (PHH), at one time had a couple of HumVees (H1) on lease to radio stations for promo purposes. He read out to me the costs to operate and maintain those beasts. Insane! Stuff like $ 5000.00 scheduled maintenance bills, $ 2000.00 per tire and very, VERY bad mileage. But those beasts are some cool though. 90 mph top speed doesn't turn my crank though. The H2 and H3 sum up what's wrong with the American automotive industry. Just badge-engineered pieces of shiat. |
