Should I get a Hummer?

In SF? Yes, definitely.
Feeling the need to compensate after your little proctological enlightenment?
Nice and wide and low, perfect for all those sharply curved SF streets. Just make sure you get some super swampers for ultimate traction.
If you want overpay for a tahoe (or whatever GM platform is shares) or if you're penis is small, yes. Otherwise no.
I've been thinking about getting one since I got married....
I was really hoping this thread was talking about something else... what a disappointment... C'mon, IT'S FRIDAY!
What is wrong with owning a Hummer?
Why go with something semi-big like the Hummer, when you could go with something WAY over the top like a Chevy Silverado with a 12" lift and 40's!
Required dresscode:
-Fox zip-up hoodie
-DVS Shoes (complete with black mid-high socks)
-Dickies shorts
-Famous Stars and Straps hat (w/ bill left completely flat for that excellent "flat biller" style)
-Some sort of Black Flys/Spy/Arnette style glasses
-Nautical star tattoos on your elbows

I think the comment was more about the H3, which is just a Chevy with squared off body panels and a $20,000 price hike.
mindfreak - just what i was thinking.
seems like you already drive one.sanjuro said:
If you plan to go off road, I would highly recommend an H3. Everyone knows the H3 is the superior off road vehicle of todays market.
If you have the coin, I would also recommend looking into a Cayenne Turbo. It dominates the luxury off-road world.

stop destroying our atmosphere with your 2.3 mpg, get a jeep, just dont get an h1 or h2 worst cars for reliebility ever
theyr pretty comfortably outfitted though
You might go off road with it. Ha Ha Ha. Get something else. That's a 4x4 for soccer moms. My aunt and uncle have 3 and live in a country club.
once you get married the only way you get one will be to buy it!
If you are going for the big and ugly look you should consider the Jeep Commander.

Trust me as someone that has spent some time in them. THEY SUCK.
Edit: if you want something that will work in SF and offroad get a Rubicon Jeep.
Why does 'offroad' mean hummer?
I drive gnarly jeep roads at least 3 days a week during the summer and a hummer is aboslutely the last thing I'd want.
What 'offroad' do you plan on driving?

Like to South Lake Tahoe. Hwy 50 can be treacherous.
Ack! Stay away from the jeep commander if you want offroad-ability. They're not so great. What sort of offroad are you planning to do? If it's semi fun (not just fire roads and stream crossings), you want to get something with an actual selectable locker (not limited slip called a locker, but an actual locker) in at least the rear.
I think the H3 has one, but it's sorta under powered and good aftermakert suspension and other mods don't really exist for them.
Other good options to look at would be the FJ crusier (I know, trendy, but it's basically a tacoma chassis with lockers which is good) or the jeep wrangler (rubicon would be your best bet they've got lockers front and rear). If you need more space, just get the four door rubicon.
All of these guys won't leave you stranded/stuck in the middle of nowhere as long as you drive them responicibly offroad (ie easy on the stupid pedal).

I thought an H3 is just a colorado pickup truck chasis with an ugly box body on it!
the hummers suck off road! H1's were the chit off road with their ground clearance but the H2's and H3's are just boxy bodied versions of other GM vehicles. Nothing special!

I'm serious.
What do you think you want to be driving on that a subaru couldn't handle?
You can get Tacomas, Tundras, and 4Runners with legit lockers. The Rubicon Wranglers have them front and rear along with a true low-gear transfer case, heavy duty axles, and 31" MTs all stock.
EDIT: H1s suck offroad too. They are 4 wheel independent suspension, heavy, long and low, and underpowered.

That 3:00 AM piss looks dangerous.Land Rover Defender 90.
What's wrong with having a small penis?
I thought that's what the snorkels were for!
Yeah but you're safe from lions.
Why all the hate? Man, unless you've driven one, you just don't get it.
And if you've never really driven offroad, apparently you think you need to get it
since when did jeeps have good gas mileage and become dependable?
hey man - I own an h3 and I'll tell you what I think. The H3 is a fun car to have. I have enjoyed mine and it's GREAT off road. However the H3's biggest problem is it's under powered. The inline 5 blows - I'm planning on trading the hummer in next year for a new 4 door wrangler.
If you buy one I'm sure you will have a great time off road just be ready for it to drag ass in the mountains
I've driven all of them. H1, 2 H2s, and an H3. All on and offroad. They all suck. The only high-priced 4x4 that sucks more is the Range Rover.
I really hope you're yankin' chains here. I say get a Sportmobile or a Unimog.
