New here and new to Hummers. I took the plunge into Hummerdom a little over a week ago with a customized H3. I'll be honest, the H3 does nothing for me stock. I thought it was a tad boring. But, as with many vehicles, you don't realize the potential lurking underneath the surface until you see one with some custom touches.
I had an '05 Murano (great car- very refined- smooth, quick and comfortable) that I was getting bored with, and waskicking around the idea of getting something more truck-like/jeep-like. I wanted something new, not too big, not too small, andw/o the dime-a-dozen syndrome.
The H3 was not on my list, but then something unexpected happened. I was out and about a couple of weeks ago and as I was driving by the local Hummer dealer, something caught my eye. Without boring everyone with details, the bottom line is that I stopped to take a closer look and took it for a spin. That was a Tuesday. I traded the Murano anddrovethe H3home that Friday night (Apr 27).
So far, so good- for the most part. Some minor little issues to iron out, but the dealer is being incredible about getting everything taken care of.
I love driving it, it's exactly what I was going for. A bit more rugged, but still comfortable. This thing is fun as all get out around town.

Congrats on the new ride! We've seen that Hummer on here before IIRC. Enjoy!

 

Really? Any ideawho posted? Or when and where?
Just curious.

 

Here is the link, originally posted by rutdogg. https://www.hummerforums.com/m_40072/tm.htmThe link to the photos has since been broken as rutdogg has done a little tidying his phot album, but I remember the truck well. You and rutdogg are in the same area, maybe he's even pulled you over?(He's a police officer)

 

I thought the same thing as well.......but couldn't place it. That silver and white IS very striking.

GS77, where are you located (If you want to say that is)..........?

Thanks for the link.
Seems quite a few people don't like the paint, but it's actuallyone of the things that attracted me toit.
I think the plain lines of the H3 are a bit blah in a solid color. Not bad, just plain. I liked the fact that the design of the paint job breaks up the lines a bit and seems to give adiffperspective of the whole vehicle.
Me likey and I guess that's all that counts.

Gunner- I am in Va Beach.

 

The paint job defintely gives it a unique look. In the original picture that was posted here earlier, I don't remember it having those rims, the brush guard or the roof rack, did you add those, or were they already on?

 

I think It reminded me of the old SMA hummer as well...
