no, but I have a friend here in town that drives a bright yellow one. he sold a viper and a F-350 and bought this. I thought they were stupid looking at first. when they were first being advertised I was on the market for a used H1, so I felt that the H2 was just a wussyfied version for the mass public. However after driving the bright yellow one, I was pretty impressed, for a chevy anyway. Driving it you still feel very rugged like you are driving a tank or something like that. I don't know how it performs offroad, but if "feels" like it would climb a tree or else knock it down if you preferred.

just my .02

later,
chris

I remember the H1 being a little too wide for everyday use, but how bout the H2? I know the mileage sucks, but it can't be that much worse than the L, can it?

A friend of mine sold his 02 M3 to get his. He is disappointed. I asked him if he had taken it up in the hills and said he had tried but it was still too large to fit through the brush. For the money he paid he didn't want to scratch the sh*t out of it. Maybe if you lived in the desert or you were taking it to Moab or something it would be of more use. Other then that he said he does like the attention he gets driving it. But if all you wanted was attention you could drive one of those fugly Pontiac Aztecs for 1/3 the price.

Every Rich **** housewife in Grapevine-Colleyville has one so they can fight their way to the grocery store and get the kids to soccer practice. I don't think they realize they look like a Monkey Riding a Football. If you really need one then buy it, but if you live in the middle of Metropolisis, spare yourself the emberassment.

I think Chevy did have a good idea here, but I actually see many more "soccer moms" driving the H2 than anyone else. I would guess that fewer of these will see the offroad than any other 4wd vehicle.

When you come down to it, the thing is just a Chevy truck with swapped out body panels. Not sure about you all, but I am in no rush to head out and buy a Chevy truck...

Plus, spent too damn much time inside actual Hummers to want to revisit the memories... though military versions are a bit more austere, and difficult to drive wearing full chem gear...

Car and Driver did an article on the H2 and said it was the second most capable off-roading vehicle ever manufactured (stock trim of course). The only other vehicle that was more capable for off-roading was the H1.

One of those truck T.V. shows also gave it very high ratings saying that it is more then just a reskinned Tahoe or something.




Yes , I saw Days of Thunder, and I do not remember that line.

I thought about getting one. The sticker price didn't scare me, but the sex change and 2.4 kids were more than I was willing to spend.

No joke! Around here, every trophy wife and her neighbor drives an H2.... and in yellow no less. I think I have seen 1 male driver so far. Not that the H2 isn't masculine, but this thing has the potential to surpass the VW New Beetle, PT Cruiser, Golf Cabrio, or Honda Del Slo (not a typo) as the ultimate "chick car." I admit it gets my juices flowing when I see a hot woman driving a cool vehicle like that (especially a Lightning). But the juices are usually replaced by cold chills and shivers once you see one of them try and park an H2 next to your L in the parking lot!
