I am so glad I don't have a micro-dick.

Yeah, awesome ride dude! It looks hella TOUGH. You'll be jumping mountains in no time!
 
Wow something that gets worse gas mileage than my car......

anyway all I have to ask is why? That car is the most pointless car in existance? you cant even take them offroad, well not H2s. That's a cry for attention right there. I just want a good reason to own one over other SUVs. At that point size is impracticle.
 
so in the time I've had my ES, you've gone through a protege5, a sentra ser spec-v, a 4runner on 22s, a matrix xrs, and now this?

:wtf:

Well your car doesnt get horrible gas milage for a 80s car...pretty standard.

Hummer is a new car with all the modern gas saving technology at its disposal...like direct injection and modular displacement.

But what really went wrogn was when GM bought the rights to Hummer. Yeah its a bit light but the original H1 had a diesel engine which is great for heavy cars because of torque. And its a bit more conservative on the gas. The H2 was a gasoline powered engine...a gasoline engine moving a 6400 lbs car!

32 gallon tank * $2.50 per gallon = $80 a fill up! 300 miles to the next fill up.

I guess when you can afford a hummer your not really worried about that kind of thing. Not everyone thinks like me. Like you barely hear about a Lambo owner complaining his car gets even worse milage then the Hummer. Or the Bughatti Veyron which needs a gas truck following it.
 
Dont sweat it dude, I just bought this thing in Dec. and I absolutely love it!! Definately a wallet killer when it comes to gas mileage (9-12 mpg city, 14-17 hwy), but a small price to pay for living large and in comfort. Plus now I have something to tow my Protege instead of calling a tow-truck everytime I snap a friggin tranny.

Everytime I see a car/truck over 30K, I cry because I think of all the cool things that I'd buy instead:
An old 5-series sedan, a used Miata, and a much quicker bike. Then I'd invest the 15K left over.

But to each his own. :D
 
i would buy a h2 to tow my car if i could afford it. as far as the gas milage........ try boosting 20 psi and the tune that goes with it. i got 175 miles out of my 14 gallon tank. that is apx 12.5 mpg. ya a protege can get the same gas milage as a hummer :)

i like them but i like the h1 better.

nice buy, just please do not run me over

I know what you mean, I'm only boosting 8Psi now and my Protege gets about the same gas mileage as my Cadillac. For that reason I'll be purchasing a GSX-R 600 as soon as I get back from Iraq (Yay over 50 mpg)
 
i just got back from iraq, be safe over their!!!
u must be high up to drive a catty!!

i only have my pro. all i can afford right now. damn E-5 pay! but my pro does have 20 grand in mods......... humm maybe it is me?


lol, anyway be safe their

im not for giving up on the combustion engine but people who drive cars like this H2 are a huge part of the problem in this country. all over the world people have noticed the problems both economically and enviromentally with driving huge gasoline wasting cars and have made the necessary adjustments. but not us, o no, the US is special, just because we can, lets drive the biggest piece of s*** made and lets shape it like a shoe box too! who cares about us supporting muslims who want to kill us with our own money and who cares about polution. as long as we can get our ever widening asses into the door of these big fuckers and cruise on down the hwy lets do it! (did anyone see the southpark episode on hybrids? lmao)

Nah I'm actually an E-5 too. I just have a very lucrative part-time job (slinging crack on-the-side) (j/k). I'm also an electrician in Vegas and my wife's a realtor. I actually bought the Caddy for her (you know....realtors always gotta be picking up clients and going to meetings and s***). Plus I did some research and it turned out to be one of the safest vehicles on the road so I wanted to get it because of our son (4y/o). I should be back in a little over a month....then let the overboosting begin!! I probably have about 10-15 grand in my Pro, but I wish I had some sponsors so I don't keep hurting my wallet everytime I want an upgrade. Any suggestions on how to get sponsored?

your post is pointless, but it does make me want to run out and buy a couple of these and let them idle in my driveway while i gas up my chainsaw and cut down trees for no reason other then just to piss you off
