has anyone seen or driven the new hummer h3? i’ve been seeing a lot of commercials for it. apparently, it is smaller than the h2 and starting at under 30k. i’m going to look into it this weekend. we need a bigger car soon for the kids and i think hummers are super safe. any input is appreciated!

Please tell me you are joking.

You are joking?

not joking. why? for a vehicle like that to start under 30k is pretty good. i think they have a really good safety record too. i think the h3 would be of higher quality than a slightly cheaper minivan or smaller suv style automobile.

Why not just buy a tank? Those things are fuckin' safe.

Or better yet, buy yourself a really big safe and get a Knollish tool kit which will allow you to make a cog and sprocket assembly. Use this to attach your dope wheels to the full meat tank. Hook all that shit together and your ride will be better than this

I have a feeling all of 4 other posters will get this

3 stars dragon!!

not exactly sure what you are talking about but it was funny if only for the picture.

yeah, i would buy a tank if i could. when you are buying a vehicle that will be hauling your kids all over the place in numerous traffic conditions, i’ll take all the safety i can get. wouldn’t you?

I sure hope this guy isn't a troll, because if he's serious about the H3, just think: one fiery rollover due to the Hummer's high center of gravity and poor handling and braking, and all this message board nonsense could be over!

Think about this one bit: Gas prices aren't getting any lower.

You can't find a large sedan to pack the kids into? A car gets way better mileage, won't rollover at the drop of a hat and has a little more manueverability than one of those land barges.

On the sarcastic end of things I'll quote a well known(?) blogger.
"Look motherfucker, you don't need a Humvee.
Not at all.
Not even the pretty yellow one.

You're a dentist, not the right leg of Voltron."

In my fairest opinion, the Hummer is a large metal box that only licensed rappers and fuckfaces enjoy driving in the city. The last time I looked around, I noticed that we live on a big place with no hills, obstacles, or anything else that needs to be navigated by a giant turd. On top of that, everytime I get stuck behind a Hummer in traffic (which happens a lot), they are always watching some kind of b-porn flick on a DVD screen in the back seat, and it makes me realize how fucked people really are.

Hum-V's can take a shit.

oxlongam & majormajor, i think you’re wrong about the high center of gravity/roll over thing. both the h2 and humvee have very, very wide bases that make for a much, much safer center of gravity than your typical suv which is one of the things that add to them being higher priced.

as for a sedan, no thanks. as for gas prices, i consider driving a privelage, not a right, and i have no problems with what gas costs these days. i can afford it and i choose to drive. it doesn’t bother me.
