Hi guys. I just bought my first Hummer a few weeks ago. I am not new to off roading and have recently sold my Jeep TJ Rubicon. My past two off-road vehicles have been Jeep Wranglers ('02 & '05).

The family is getting larger and I needed a 4 wheeler that could tow. I found a very clean '06 yellow H2 with the luxery package. I have always bought new and looked hard at a '09 H2 and even with the tremendous discounts, could not justify the price difference. I also wanted yellow and as you know, this color was discountinued in '07.

Anyway, I am having a blast learning about my new H2. We just finished our summer vacation to the Outer Banks, NC and did the off-road beach. While not challenging, was able to tow out a stuck tourist.

My only disappointment so far is that the average Hummer owner does not appear to be as friendly and outgoing as my past Jeep crowds. The Hummer wave I give is rarely returned.

I will post some pictures soon and am in process of signing up for the HOPE program. Anyway that's all for now.

 

Hey man. I just bought a H3. I am looking for a good spot to go off road here in powhatan or somewhere near by. Does anyone have any good spots.
Thanks

Maybe the other Hummer drivers just aren't seeing you wave. Compared to my old Montero, my H2 is much darker inside. People outside can't see me (or my hands) behind the wheel as easily. When I first got my Hummer my neighbors did not know who it was because they could not see my face (or hands).

After getting used to my Hummer, when I drive my old Montero I feel like I am in a goldfish bowl because of the amount of light that comes into the passenger compartment. Proportionately, Monteros and Jeeps have a lot more window square footage than an H2 does.

Of course, it could also be that waving is so gay.

 

Personally, I don't wave to other owners because I don't have the time- if they let me in traffic, I do so as a gesture of "thanks"- not because they own a Hummer.

 

Not a lot of waving goes on. I notice in SoCal most people are on the phone or otherwise occupied. Very few make eye contact, hence no waving.

 

Welcome and CONGRATS!!!

 

Welcome!

 

welcome!

 

I am fairly new to Richmond and the only place I have found is George Washington National Forest where there are some off road trails that branch off of the forest service roads. They are 75 miles or so from Richmond.

 

You are right and I had not thought of that aspect.

Still enjoying the new Hummer!!!
