GM may discontinue the Hummer Brand
- Thread starter N8 v2.0
- Start date
It was more of a small penis type joke.
since we're making that leap, who's got more junk after a ride: a roadie or a DHer?
feel free to speak into the mic
Mine is going away at the end of the year
Looking at a Bmw335i or Volvo c30 next.
Most people think that hummers are oversized POS - I've really enjoyed mine, it's been a great vehicle. A ton of fun to drive offroad - can haul 5 bikes and all my gear. Great for camping and anything else you want to do outside.
Gas millage isn't the best 15/20 but hell most trucks out there are just as bad if not worse.
That's the great thing about being an American - if you don't like it then don't buy one...
With Gas prices all I have to say is THANK GOD I LEASED MINE!!!!

roadie.
The tidy cat "bucket" is appropriate. LOL.
Wagon?
Holy ****ing ugly. Good ORV or not, that's far too deliberately hideous.
The original hummers had a utilitarian beauty and a purpose. The fact that they morphed the design into an exercise in aesthetic excess seemingly meant to complement tribal tattoos, spray-on tans, and steroid-addled bodies is sickening.
"off road style" is one thing if it's purposeful. Excessively muscular styling cues and superfluous/vestigal bolts, bars, and panels are bait for dumb****s.
That said, the new one is aesthetically better than the H2, if that's your thing, and I'm guessing it's at least a partially-worthy ORV.

already posted in this forum knoobHx isn't a subcompact, this is...
While driving home this weekend, we saw a brand new H2 (had paper license plates) and the wife and I both started laughing. I can just imagine the relief of the sales guys at the dealership with one less on the lot.
Good deal, or not. That guy got screwed in the long run.

around here there are H2's but there are vastly more Tahoes & Suburbans...
not sure about the mpg of them vs H2.. but since they are essentially the same thing, i cant imagine they are much more efficient.
What's an earth ticket ?
Screw it, I'd drive that. Makes up for my 7" wang issues. Seriously, I would drive that.u can unzip now.. meat the Hummer Hx
Yea, I'd take one of these too. Make parking in Seattle a breeze, and rush hours would be my playground.Hx isn't a subcompact, this is...
"Dear Fascist Bastard:
Thank you so much for driving your gas guzzling, earth raping 4X4 vehicle. It is asshole like you who are killing our mother earth one day at a time. What makes you think you have any right to drive a vehicle like this on the precious blood of our Earth Mother. You have been warned"
I take that as a threat personally.
You're a straight up gangsta, no arguing with that.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right
A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his ****in mouth
Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas don't start fights
And niggas always gotta high cap
Showin' all his boys how he shot em
But real gangsta-ass niggas don't flex nuts
Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas know they got em
And everythings cool in the mind of a gangsta
Cuz gangsta-ass niggas think deep
Up three-sixty-five a year 24/7
Cuz real gangsta ass niggas don't sleep

Let me guess, the ticket was written on paper made from wood pulp and glued using an adhesive made from petroleum distillates. Said hippy purchased these items from a store that uses large gas guzzling trucks to deliver their merchandise.
I'm all for protecting the environment by reducing emissions and recycling. But self-righteous militant granola fvcks get on my nerves. We are all guilty of screwing up the environment. Unless you are completely off the grid and 100% self-sustaining, you need to stop complaining about your neighbors yard when yours needs mowing. Just do your part quietly and with appropriate humility and don't preach or judge others who are not like you.
Right down the line correct sir.
Mostly what pissed me off was that he put it right in the middle of my windshield, and when it came time to remove that "enviromentally friendly" sticky he used took some really nasty goo-be-gone to get off.
Like the man said in Pulp Fiction "It would have been worth him doing it just to catch him..."

Try this stuff:
It's made from distilled orange peels, environmentally friendly and stronger than Xylene. I've been using it to clean bike parts for more than a decade, it's the best.
Smashing fax machines never gets old.
Just be glad Tre Arrow is in lockdown or he would have fire-bombed your truck.
Right, but I used the uber toxic stuff more as a protest.Try this stuff:

He thinks I am butt raping mother earth? Wait til I get fired up! I am moving to Alaska with a drill and I am going to rape and pillage. Truth be told Chuck Palahniuk said it better in Fight Club:
I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke
No, it really never does.
Actually, any real hippie home-processes his own raw, organic feces into a sort of paste, then rolls it and binds it together with pure self-righteousness.

DETROIT General Motors hasn't announced what it plans to do with its endangered Hummer brand yet, but at least one of the nation's most successful auto dealers isn't waiting around for his supplier to decide.
Bergstrom Automotive apparently plans to move its stand-alone Bergstrom Hummer Milwaukee dealership into its nearby Bergstrom Chevrolet dealership. In doing so, Bergstrom plans to take down the expensive, Hummer-branded aspects of the facility, including its Quonset-hut style roof, and to reduce the size of the Hummer test track.
In place of the stand-alone Hummer shop, Bergstrom plans to open a store to sell certified used GM vehicles.
Meanwhile, other Hummer dealers are reporting the status quo continued, in terms of their disposition toward retailing the brand as well as any indications whether GM plans to try to sell, refurbish or even terminate the Hummer brand. One was Craig Hubbell, general manager of Hummer of Detroit.
"The only thing we're planning to do is continue to sell Hummers as many as we possibly can," said Craig Cutcher, sales manager at Ken Batchelor Hummer in San Antonio.
But he said that showroom traffic has dropped and that "the people coming are expecting bigger discounts." Right now, Hummer is offering a $5,000 cash rebate on the purchase of an H3, or a $299-a-month lease. Cutcher conceded that some customers are so anxious to dump their Hummers that, if they have negative equity in the vehicle, they'll risk being worse off financially overall even after investing in a much smaller and more fuel-efficient vehicle.
Cutcher said that he doesn't believe GM will sell the Hummer brand. "But it wouldn't surprise me to see the dealer body shrink" nationwide from its current 171 Hummer dealers to around 130.
What this means to you: Hummer deals are probably the best in any town, especially now that some dealers have begun taking a fire-sale approach. Dale Buss, Correspondent
