Now I have seen it all. I always thought the super stretch Lincoln Navagators were a little too much, but after seeing a VERY long super strech Hummer painted on American Flag motife (see the RC hummer on my web site) I can't imagine anything more in excess. While there is a certain coolness about the hummer, especially one painted in these colors, this thing ws just too much. My only question is; WHY? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

vehicles like that are purchased to extend ones manhood.

i don't see the point anymore, since there are pharmaceuticals now that can alleviate such short comings.

I've got a buddy who's about the most enthusiastic flag-waver you could imagine. He'll probably continue voting republican from prison after they bust his ass for pot smoking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

He'd buy a Hummer in a second if he could ever get that kind of money. And he'd probably paint it Red-White-and-Blue too. (RWB color-change paint). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

He drives a Caddy, and says that the 914 is a "girlie car".

And the Germans are all Communists. Actually, any country other than the USA is Communist, according to this guy. He's fun to drink with though. I guess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

Actually, I love the paint job. It looked a lot like the RC Hummer I painted. What I don't understand is the super strech part. A strech limo for the right occasion is or for business is one thing, but this thing is all about being flashy. I guess I never understood why one would drive (or ride) in a vehicle that's only purpose was to say 'look at me'. Sure, I like car that are considered flashy my most of the public, but I would only buy or drive it if it was enjoyable for me. Think Ferrari or Turbo Porsche. I can't see how one could enjoy this beast.


Bruce, it was an H1.

Another odd observation is the number of H2 Hummers I see on the road. Man, these things are ugly. And when you add color change paint or fly yellow, they get uglier. I'd bet that 99% of these never see more dirt than on the average highway. Did anyone see the H2 that got stuck in the mud at the Hershey Hill Climb this year? Too funny.

Just a side note about Hummers- and I think I mentioned this once before on the BBS. According to J. D. Powers and Associates, the Hummer was ranked #1 for customer complaints after the original purchase. And the #1 complaint from new owners? POOR MILEAGE!!!. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Didn't they notice that these are 1,000,000 lb tanks? That's like Aztec owners complaining after they bought one, that they're ugly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Ever had a jacked up SUV sitting behind you with their headlights rammed up your butt??? Or see that 6 thousand pound indy car on the freeway lane-jockeying at high speeds with a cell phone in her ear???

I dig SUVs - have one, but with power comes responsibility......

IMO- the Hummer should be called the Exterminator!

everyone who drives one will get keyed eventually. right at the door infront of the store, 2 spots minimum. there should be a $10k dope tax for anybody who purchases them.

I guess he's trying to prove that SUVs DON'T support terrorism! They are very American!

there may be more to this than the raw data suggests... it all has to do with user expectations. if i'm told to expect 10 mpg and i get it, i have no cause for complaint. if i'm told to expect 10 mpg but i actually get 5, i'm gonna complain about BAD GAS MILEAGE.

i actually kinda like the H2 but could never actually consider such a thing (i think it'd be cool with a custom airbrush paint job, painted like a big Borg cube, tho ...)
