When's the last time you saw a Hummer H2?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - When's the last time you saw a Hummer H2? (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 1/29/2015 2:21:24 PM EDT

When most people mention vehicles they never see anymore, it's usually something built in 19-something.

H2s were too expensive to be really high volume sellers, but it seemed like I couldn't leave my house without seeing them. And considering the obnoxious eye sores they are, they were kinda hard to miss.

I very rarely see them now, and I'm not sure why. They have LS engines, so I doubt they all died.

Where'd they go?

I helped do the concrete at the plant they built to make those at AM General.

Very common here.

2's also. H1s not so much.

There is an H2 and H3 at a local used car dealer here. They are factory and look like shit. They always looked like shit.

They were typically heavy used vehicles. I've seen them around, but with real high mileage.

The ones with reasonable miles are selling above dealer sticker.

And... In before the Hummer bashing starts like it usually does on GD.

Highly unlikely. The LS motors are some of the most reliable motors ever manufactured. The LQ9 that I bought for my IROC had 130k on it and still had a perfect cross-hatch on the cylinder walls and like-new bearings on the crank and rods. The machinist I brought it to said that it was only .002" enlarged over the original bore size. They're bullet proof motors, and rarely fail, which is why they're so inexpensive to buy at junk yards.

It's been awhile.

I used to see them all the time, now it's pretty rare.

When gas prices got jacked in '07, they disappeared, and I've not really seen them sense.

See several of them driving around in the Springs here. Not too uncommon.

I’d still like to have one with a Duramax/Allison drivetrain. OD Green.

Still plenty of them around Scottsdale and Orange County.

Yesterday. Pretty stout vehicles, 6.0L/65e/4.10's and a 9.5" with an e-locker, fits 35's without lift, good approach and departure angles...

No he does not. He only thinks he does or pretends he does for ratings.

It's called an instant mpg reading, in other words it's calculated at that very instance of acceleration. It was a technology that gm provided in the H2's and H3's thinking it would be all cool but totally backfired. If you have this in any other vehicle you will get the same readings.

LGS has a H1 out front with a body wrap on it with the shops name. They did have it for sale a while back; I was thinking of buying it, converting it to run on vegetable oil and troll the fuck out of liberals.

Hardly. I'd love to park a H2 next to my brodozer and CTS-V. I can't find a decent deal on a clean H2 anywhere.

There are a couple of H3's that show up at the gym. Driven by women.

It's been a while since I saw an H2.

26000-30000lb road grader, side impact, on it's drive tires.

Vs.

CAT 793b, weighing (Empty, assuming) 260,000lbs - running over the vehicle.

Yeah, you're not comparing apples and apples. Try again.

Who cares. Anything after the H1 was complete and utter shit anyway.

I see them pretty frequently as promotional/company vehicles for male-leaning businesses, including ESPN radio.

I kind of like them. The pickup versions especially.

But haven't seen them in a while. Probably because gas here for a while was $3 a gallon.

H2's have gone down market. They are old used cars now.

My daughter has an H3. Not a bad car but not anything special.

just wanted to show you how ridiculous your comparison was and how absurd it is to even compare it to something such as that.

But since you like road graders... shall we?

Below is not an road grader by definition but it was grading the road at the time.

it hit my pickup , after the driver lost control and did a stint out in the meridian....

It is well known they handle for shit..too heavy and high centered, to short of wheelbase for its track width,(at least for running around at speed), extremely narrow pedal box making it harder to drive....try driving one at speed on a truly slippery hi way in the dead of winter.....best would be to follow a CCLB 1 ton pickup and try to hang..you will crash the H-2 with equal drivers..........
