  • Bye bye, Hummer 1

    General Motors will discontinue manufacturing the Hummer 1 with the current model year. I always wondered why any non military person would want to drive one of those when there are so many other, smaller SUVs to choose from. I know Arnie, the Gov. of California, drove one for awhile. Wonder what kind of car he's tooling around in now?

    They may have come into money. Lottery, Insurance, Settlement, etc. = Show-Off!

    People who need to stand out in Society by buying outlandish "toys" are in a sense People who want attention. Expensive Attention. It is their right and their glory to do so...how sad. Money can not buy Love, Friends or Health.

    Nah, Manerva and me,we happy as can be. No Hummer 1 nor other Expensive Car can replace my faithful Manerva!

      These cars are downright offensive.
      I refer to them as (pardon my french) small d _ _ k mobiles. I have this theory that the men who drive them (it's mostly men who do) are trying to compensate for other *ahem* shortcomings.

      They are very common here in LA, where these military assault vehicles have no practical use whasoever. They actually have more use in Hawaii where there is lots of off road terrain, but the jeep I rented the last time I was there did just fine off road.

      I personally would be ashamed to be see in one of these.

        Re: Bye bye, Hummer 1

        It's interesting because here on the Big Island I see more women driving Hummers than guys (I guess if it's a guy attribute thing then for a woman it's a substitute for not having one at all) and women drive them big vehicles (any big SUV for that matter) worse than guys.

        I literally saw one female push another car three inches forward so she could fit her Hummer inside the curb limit here in Hilo. I called the police when she stuck me the finger after telling her she hit that car in front of her. Thank God for video cell phones. Yeah jerks come in all genders.

        I was told the H2 was actually based on the Tahoe platform and not on the original Humvee platform at all. I guess after the first Hummer, the second was just a nameplate and too much metal but nothing quite the original.

        Oh well I'm not sad to see the civillian version disappear. That car was in fact an ego statement on wheels. Hmmm come to think of it so is my BMW
        Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

          Ditto for here on O`ahu, including one young lady who's a mortgage banker and she owns two of the H-1 Hummers.

          That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

            Don't get me started.

            Whoops. Too late.

            And then, when the fatasses behind the wheel are too lazy to walk an extra fifteen feet to the mall entrance and circle for hours on end, wasting god knows how much gas, blocking half the aisle with their ugly eyesores so you have to go around them and play chicken with other cars backing out? Yeah. Don't like 'em. And when said fatasses have those ridiculous "Save the Troops" magnets on said eyesores? I wanna key them. Really.

            I think female Hummer drivers are actually worse than the guys because they think they're invincible. They do more stupid crap per capita than anybody.

                Speaking of phallic-symbol vehicles and the Big Isle....does anybody remember the orange jeep, in Hilo, with the licence plate tag 'agent'?

                  Next to George W being president, this is America's second biggest embarassment in a Public Office.

                  What next, O.J. as a Governer ?
