Default Seen a H3 today.....

I seen an H3 yeah a glorified trail blazer that had JEEP RECOVERY VEHICLE on the back window. I did not even know how to react. I tried to snap a pic but i was laughing too hard and couldn't. I guess that sticker and the Goodyear A/T tires it had made it one bad a$$ ride.

I hate those things. The only people who drive those things around here are people who are showing off for others. I have never liked them. I am sure they are quite capable on the trail but I have yet to see a single person who would wheel one. And why would you spend that kind of money to offroad it.

they're very capable of getting groceries and getting stuck in the snow. last snowstorm, bestbuy parking lot had plowed snow about 4 ft tall covering one of the exits. i was in my dakota. i climbed it until i high centered. that's when i realized i didn't have 4wd on, i cut it on and came down over the other side. an H3 tried to repeat it and got stuck. i mean four wheels were spinning and nothing was happening. i didn't even stick around long enough to see the end of it.

If I had that kind of money I would spend it on a Land Rover... now thats a very capable machine or just build a sick XJ.

Everytime I see a H2 OR H1, I get mad. To me that's just rich people showing off how much they make a year. Plus you know they never take them things off road at all.....well dirt driveways at the most extreme, lol They don't want to scratch the paint because it'd be too expensive to fix......whatever.

JEEPS ARE HUMMER RECOVERY VEHICLES!!!!

There's a reason they put those big tow hooks on the Hummers

To make it easy for some one with a jeep to pull them out of the Mudd LOL

i used to work at a facility that made parts for the hmmwv, the real hummer.
they are quite large, and i do kinda like the different variations of them.

but if i could, i'd rock a knight xv. these things are massive. and made in canada. also, they will take 24 hours of constant gun shower.

here's one crapping out a hummer now.


here is some more eye candy.

Like common if your gonna cut me off like you own the road drive a real vehicle at least grrr. Ahem sorry got a slight bit emotional :s
