AAARRRGGHHHH....I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! Jesus people...a point isn't mute, it's moot. If you can't use the word correctly, then don't use it. You make yourself sound like a jackass.
Sorry...I've had a rough morning...

| Quote | | Alright Jim, I like hummer and all but do you really need to climb a 60* incline or offroad enough to require that nasty of a suspension. Im willing to bet the only real offroading you do is driving to the store for milk when it snows, which is once ever 10 years since you live in texas. |
Actually, yes I do. As already stated in another thread by me. As a rock climber, I'm often going off the beaten path in search of bigger better faces to climb.
Go look up rock climbing + Texas on Google, and check out some the terrain at Hueco Tanks, some places down in Austin. Not to mention some of the places I go in Oklahoma and Mexico.
I've already tried this terrain in a Jimmy, a 4-Runner, and Yukon. All of them get hung up in one place or another.
One of unique things about the H2, is say I go over a 22" fallen tree. Where-as any other vehicle would get hung up on the drive-train, the H2's slick bottom can actually slide right over it.

Edit: Much cheaper too. |
I've got one. Fun for recreation, not fun when you need to haul 500 lbs of gear and 6 people. And it's certainly no good at hauling a boat.
Come on people. If you really insist on trying to down play the Hummer by saying I don't need it, you are wasting your time. Attack the vehicle, not me.
| Quote | | there is only the Land Rover. all other jeeps/all-terrain type shit are just poor copies with spoilers. |
A land rover isn't shit compared to a Hummer H1 or H2 for that matter.
| Quote | | I do not and will not name any vehicle in that price range that can go toe to toe like you said. Because you know and I know there isn't such a thing. The hummer is basically it's own vehicle class IMO. I don't beleive it to be a truck, jeep, suv, and it isn't a roadster for sure. |
So what is the point in bashing it, when apparently you know as well as I do. There is no competition for it. NONE. Nothing, not even the H1 can compare to all that is offered by the H2.
If you take, Off-Road, On-Road, and Conveinence into consideration. The H2 accels in all. The H1 only accels in 1.
| Quote | | And who are you calling a dumb fuck? (wow, I'm up to 200 posts and now people start to learn...he he he) I mean look at you. You live in Texas to start with (that's -20 points in my book), and you buy into consumer fad's. The SUV fad, which Hummer is going to try to milk along with the H2. |
Again, another attempt at bashing me for buying a vehicle which I will be using for all sorts of things. I can see calling a soccer mom who uses a SUV for nothing more than picking up kids a fad.
But all things aside. Show one vehicle. Any vehicle!! That can do all this.
Tow This
Traverse This, This, and this
Hold 6 people comfortably
Store 500-750lbs of weapons, ammo, and camping equipment WITH OUT it getting wet during the rain.
Uses Unleaded gasoline
Has all the things found in a normal luxory car. (ie CD Player, GPS navagation system, power seats, front rear ac with dual climate zones, sun roof, etc...)
Can fit in a normal sized parking space at home depot
Is street legal
Any price. Name one vehicle.

BOOM!
So there mr know it all. 
edit/addition: Can you mount a 50 cal on top of an H2? I know you can on an H1. And besides the price, The H1 is capable of everything you listed. Even better than the H2 at where you want it to go. You can get all that cd player gps shit installed easily if you know what you are doing (I doubt you do though).

Ok If you have a use for it go right ahead. You'll catch no flak from me. I just hate seeing people profile in expensive ass suv/offroad style trucks.
Im just used to seeing:
"Yo, jus picked up my hummer/landcruiser/landrover/excursion/cayanne/borneo and I gots to go get it painted and get some new rimz fo it"

Jumping Jesus Fucking Christ on a stick. Are you fucking 4 years old? Can you mount a .50 on your car? Can you install gps in your car?
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Im pretty sure Jim could muddle his way through a gps install and before you even say it. Yes I can too. That little box under my stereo that says "magellan" on it isnt a microwave.

You know, there is no reason to call me 4. Or to yell. Sorry for offending you. You didn't need to tell me to shut up, that wasn't nice.

As far as the .50 is concerned, you can NOT mount a .50 cal on an H1. Only a HUMMV, sorry monkey.
As already stated many times. There is a spectrum. If I could afford to keep my work vehicle, and buy an H1 as an off-road vehicle. Well that would be kick ass. As it stands right now, I can't afford an H1 PERIOD. What I need is a vehicle that can servre multiple purposes. From trips to work, to bars, to home depot, to the great outdoors. And for the first time, there is actually a vehicle, that not only can I afford, but I don't have to sacrifice ANYTHING. I get everything I could ever possibly want in a vehicle, and the icing is that it's a HUMMER!
I think I've made my point. No more use arguing with a 4 year old.
And I'm totally with you, LEET, on the people who slam their trucks and shit. And trust me, I've got great concerns about the H2 becoming a soccer mom vehicle. But rest assured mine won't be.
