Test drove a Hummer. Anyone driven 1 off road

Oh come on, I can't believe what youre saying, and your logon name leaves a LOT to be desired. I think you're tugging the strings mate.

How much for the vehicle ? And how much to fill the tank - every day!!!

You did take a pic of course, didn't you ????

Let's see the evidence before you start sucking the subscribers dry.

When I was attached to the U S Army in 1989, we got sent over to Desert Storm. We drove ours, and 3 more for our 6 month tour. Glad I wasn't paying for the fuel!
Other than that, went okay.

if it is legit then good luck with parts and I hope you can afford the full tank of fuel.

p.s you did buy a second one for parts? they break down more offen than landrovers..... or dare I say jeeps.

You're all full of it! As I've posted before the humvee uses no more fuel than my 1HZ powered troopy, weighs the same and will go places the troopy could only dream about.
They are the sort of vehicle that you have to be able to maintain yourself, being virtually handbuilt they are labour intensive, but simple mechanically. They are not the vehicle for the owner who has to get it serviced and cannot do the work them selves unless you've got buckets of money.
A civvie Hummeris a different animal to a military one, lots more 'crap' to go wrong and far more complex electrics to run all the 'crap'. Just remember that it started life as a basic military vehicle, the trim and all the crap was added later, some of it adapted from other vehicles, this is where the problems will arise.
My Humvee is now 17 years old and having had it and used it over the last three years I'd find it hard to go back to a conventional 4wd.
Correctly maintained it is bulletproof, drive it like you stole it and you'll have probs, no vehicle likes being abused. A prime example is the Hummers that Qld corrective services had, overloaded and abused they broke. They should have had APC's or LAV's for what they were doing.

There are three hummers (not the newer H2) in town here (Port Lincoln), I know of one that was in one of the local repair shops for quite a while waiting for engine parts.
I'm sure they are a very capable vehicle, as long as you can afford to buy one, register it, run it and repair it!!

just wait till holden rebadge them as their own in 2007
the h2 that is
