"It looks like a Mini-Hummer"

[bradfridell]

Ok. I've had it. I've had my Unlimited Sahara and I've heard this exact phrase three times now...two from strangers and one from a neighbor. Thing is, I think they were all trying to be complimentary. But it's not, and I'm sure everyone on this board knows why. So, let's gather some great responses...I've come up with none...I just mumble something under my breath and pretend I didn't hear it. We need some great come-back lines!

[Rubimon]

"Speaking of Hummers: how's your wife doing?" Have your jeep started and in gear though.LOL:evil_laughterpurple

[bLITZ]

i'll go with a classic.... " really? I didn't realize they made hummers in mens sizes now!?"

[Phishjeep]

"What's a 'Hummer'?"

The trick is keeping a straight face.

[wayoflife]

"Speaking of Hummers: how's your wife doing?"

:rotflmao: Oh damn that's a good one :D

[Ge99ne]

I appreciate the hard work so far on these great come backs. I don't take offense when people mention Hummers because I had the same thought when I first saw it. To me it just looks a little more military in the 4 door version. I think it's the 45 degree cut offs on the doors. Another contributor is the square corners on the hard doors. Jeep has been rounding the hard door corners on the back for ages. It's one of the details you wouldn't get on a military vehicle.

[bLITZ]

I actually just thought of a great liscence plate that i'll have to get along with my JK.....

"HUMRWHAT"

[nam6869usmc]

I got the Hummer thing a couple times and also what the he@# is that. I just grin, but they all love it and especially the Rescue Green and the military look.
"What's a 'Hummer'?" that's hard to beat....thank you I'll be using that one from now on.

[DREDnot]

Just paint or line-X the top of the doors and it looks like a jeep again

[Phishjeep]

How about RSQHUMRS for a license plate?

[joss097]

For me, it's not a problem, I'm not the kind of jeep is better than everything. Some people have tell me that I look like Tom Cruise but hey, I think they were drug or stone cold! They can say what they want, I buy it because it look good and go everywhere. AMC Pacer looks like anything and I wouldn't have bought it even for free. Hummer is for many people a good truck so I prefer to think that it's great to be refer to something good than bad.

[Rubimon]

What everyone has to do is; everytime you see a Hummer tell the guy "Hey that thing looks like a Jeep" Then throw in "How does that roof come off?".............."It doesn't, that's a bummer.":sad:

[luna95]

"It doesn't, that's a bummer." Naw, dude, it's not a bummer, it's a hummer. Bwaaahaaaahaaaa.:naw:

[MDPJeep]

I would like to see one of the 4x4 mags do a side by side comparison of the H3 and the 4 Door Rubi !!!!

:D

[Tjen97]

In my opinion - Hummers look like Jeeps. :D

[jpfreak]

a twist on the wife one. is that a hummer,what it don't look nothing
like your wife.

[dsp]

You can just remind them that Jeep allowed AM General to use the Jeep grill on the military version, and then GM stole it and put it on all off their wanna be Jeeps.

[Cadually]

You can just remind them that Jeep allowed AM General to use the Jeep grill on the military version, and then GM stole it and put it on all off their wanna be Jeeps.

I agree with that!:yup: Besides, Jeeps came out first. Issue was after a while that you cant put 25 cannons, a rocket launcher and an airport size radar that spins around cuz jeep is just small, so the army decided to go with a humvee since it can be converted into pretty much anything. Don't get me wrong Hummer (H1, not the H2) is a nice machine, I like it for showing off, but I would never take civillian version rock crawling. Anyways, well maybe now army be adopin these 4 door jks for superior officer transport especially into hard to reach areas and use H1's for combat D :yup:

[tolh13]

today as i was sitting at a red light the car next to me beeps his horn and rolls down the window it a 70 year old man and his wife.he ask is that a hummer?no it's a 4 door jeep...old man then turns to his wife and said told you at looks too good to be a hummer.then give me the thumbs up and drives off.

p.s. no nose picking in the new jk someone is always looking at you.or get dark tint windows up front.

[rhodesian]

Ok If this works...

Got these images from Edmunds. I have been dealing with these H3 comparissons for a couple weeks now. I'm now going to officialy say....What's a Hummer" that's the best yet.

[Goes]

Nice comparison shots Rhodesian. I've just never seen the "it looks like a hummer" thing. I don't think they look alike at all. I think the funny part is that I've read several posts where they think the JK looks like a Liberty. So a Liberty and a Hummer look alike? LOL

[th9596]

Hummers with those slit windows look like you're expecting snipers. It's a paranoid car unless you're actually in a war zone. I have the same problem with Toyota FJ Cruiser

[JeepYak]

I remember a review I read in some magazine when the H2 first came out. About the H2, the reviewer said, "The only offroading this vehicle will ever see is when some guys housewife backs over the landscaping."

Sexist, I know. But I thought it summed up the whole "soccer mom in an SUV" cliche pretty well.

While I was going to college in Texas, a guy brought his brand new H2 into the 10 minute lube shop where I was working. When asked his opinion for getting the H2 instead of the H1, the only reason he gave was, "The H2 accelerates faster than the H1."

Technically, he was right:
H1 Acceleration= 0-60 in 13.5 seconds. (2005 H1 Alpha [wagon] Automobile Magazine review)
H2 Acceleration=0-60 in 10 seconds. (2003 Consumer Guide review)

Who buys a 4x4 for its skills in acceleration, anyway?

[biglynny]

When the General manager at the dealership said for the 3rd time "you know it looks just like a baby Hummer" I couldn't take it any longer and told him If you say that again I'm going to walk out of here. " Car salesmen - they're all whores.:rolleyes:

More meat for the meateaters.

If you are going to be stupid enough to insult the vehicles you are trying to sell, then you deserve to have your sales go to other vendors that know/care more, like Don A Vee. And if you don't think that comparing a Hummer to a Jeep is an insult, then you don't know your customers very well.

[Beel_MT]

I was searching Commander Hulk wheels on e-bay and some stickers came up that you can put on your jeep. I have the image but I have no idea how those are linked. It's just text anyway but it reads...


If I wanted a
Hummer
I'd ask you!

[barnett25]

I like your comparison! It really brings out how fake and plastic the Hummer is.

[nam6869usmc]

Just got that rediculous remark yesterday at work, I was setting at my desk, a guy I know was standing behind me looking down at my Wrangler and said, who owns the Green Hummer? ....Well now, I was the only one there and I know it was directed to me, and he's seen it numerous times, definitely screwing with me. I didn't even turn around and answer him, he said it about 4 times, I finally swung around in my chair and said , ((What's a Hummer John)), the look he gave me was priceless. He just looked back down at my Wrangler and walked away, never seen him for the remainder of the day.

[Robar]

"Hummer?, NO, I can take this off road!"

[gpwpat]

I really hate this. I have heard it so much I am going to explode. first off I like military history and military machinery. so in a since I like things utilitarian. Square and built for a purpose. so I like old flatfender jeeps and even can appreciate the H1 the civilian decendant of the HMMWV. But would rather own a surpluss HMMWV than a hummer H1. I can't stand the H2 or the H3 that are marketed and designed to look utilitaryian but are not. So why is it that everytime something is utilitarian it looks like a hummer. guve me a break. if anything the hummer looks like a overgrown jeep.

Yes the new JK has alot of fancy stuff. but it is a modern SUV. I like it so I will buy it. But don't call it a hummer.

[Robar]

Happened just last night. I went to the tire shop and got a new set of 5. One of the managers started asking me questions stating he wished he had waited instead of getting an Avalanche. He then stated "it kinda looks like a Hummer" and I replied, "no, you can take this off road" and then he said "your right there."

[papabear]

If it makes anyone feel better, I was at a Best Western Motel in Miles City Montana this summer and this seventy year old woman comes up and asks me if she could look at my Hummer, refering to my mildly lifted 2004 Jeep Unlimited, I hust laughed and said sure go ahead and look at my JEEP. she was stunned.

Remmeber HUMMER is a MALL CRUISER and JEEP Wrote the BOOK on 4 WHEEL DRIVE!!!!!

Papabear:yup: :driving:

[mattbenn8]

You guys wouldn't be getting this at all if you would do the right thing and drive with the top down. I know it's 10 degrees where a lot of you are but some things are more important than comfort. :D

That's what wool beanies and gloves are for! :thumbsup:

[emtjeep]

Everyone that currently has a JK can just take the top down and post a sign on the back spare tire that says, "Can a Hummer do this?" I hate H2, H3 and FJs.

[nitrozahn]

I heard this S*** today. I brought up some of the sema pictures on my computer at work and one of my co-workers says "man that looks just like a hummer!" he said it like 5 more times. I looked at him and said "nah you could take this offroad" he continues to tell me that hummer has the best suspension for offroad use and there is nothing better than an H2. I can't argue with someone this ignorant so I just tell him ok you go buy your H2 I'll get the Jk and we'll go to the Badland's off road park and I'll tow your ass through the trails.:yup:

[FRDesign]

Someone said at school today that It looked like a Tank!

I have been told by a couple of people that they have a military look to them. That made me grin.

[jeepercreeper]

I think I would go with H3KILLA.

[MegaWalt]

Funny, the similarity of these vehicles may have served to my advantage last Friday night. I was in Royal Oak, Michigan and forgot(?) to feed the parking meter. I was a little frustrated when I found the ticket on my windshield but had to laugh when I read the vehicle description: "Hummer." I glanced around to see if there was one close by...

[FreeWheelin1961]

or how about a license plate for hummers that say "Jeep Wanna-be"

[emtjeep]

Thats good because, how can they justify the ticket if they cant tell the make of vehicle? They cant really prove it was you unless they go by liscence plate. Even if, its a badly written ticket. It must have been a hummer.

[waynek]

I also have recieved the same comment from every one. It says jeep everywere on on it big white letters on the spare tire cover, the big WRANGLER SAHARA on the side. lets see this spring when all the hummer take there tops off!!!! and i like the whats a hummer line!

[blacklock]

get the sticker across the back

"If I wanted a Hummer I would have called your mom":thumbsup:

[Jeephrog]

Soooo, I actually traded in my H2 for my new JK. I liked the looks of the H2 (still do) and have taken it off-road plenty -- not anything hardcore but off-road none-the-less. I think that the JK and H2 don't really look much alike except for the grill and sharp angles - and the 4 doors. They do look a little bit similar to an H1 which I have seen without a top. As far as the H3 goes, there is really no comparison - can't stand the H3.

We also have a Jeep Commander and when the H2 and Commander were parked next to each other, some lady asked if the little Hummer was for my wife and the big hummer was for me.

When I bought my H2 a couple of years ago, I really wanted the Unlimited but it didn't have five seatbelts and I ended up getting a used H2.

Anyway, I actually had someone say "Cool Jeep" about my H2 a while back. I'm not insulted either way.

[Colonel Angus]

Soooo, I actually traded in my H2........
Little awkward :thinking: . Just kidding. I really think they look nothing alike. The H1 and Jeeps (with the right tires) both look like Urban Assault vehicles :yup: but the H2 just looks like a big shoe box on a Suburban frame. Not knocking 'em, I'm sure they get plenty dirty - cough - picking the kids up from soccer practice. haha:rotflmao1:

I don't even have a Jeep yet.......so, I can't really say anything about which is better.

Well I like the Jeep better so far. Its much lighter and gets better gas mileage on the hwy - at least the 90 miles on the hwy I have put on it. I have only had it a few weeks and have done some really light off-roading with it. I will say though that I bottomed-out my H2 in a spot near my house that the Jeep went over with no problem at all. The H2 did have running boards on it at the time though.

Oh yeah - the H2 used cost $10K more than the Jeep brand new and I actually made money selling the last Wrangler I owned.

That's one thing about Wranglers, they seem to hold their value more than any other American made vehicle.

We all know if we had an extra 25grand we would get a new H2 to show off in lets face it how many h2's have 22 inch rims or more Show off I like both but want a convetable 4x4 and can't spend 100 grand on a h1 just have fun in the jeep it is what it is a JEEP.

No my friend, i wouldnt. i do not like the looks of the H2's or 3's.

If i had an extra 25grand, i'd go on vacation with it, not blow it on a 1987 Horizon on steroids.

:p

[atvin411]

My thoughts on what people think when they get a h3 I can't afford an h1 and an h2 so instead of a trail blazer i think I'll get an ugly h3.

When we get a jeep now we say a jeep is a jeep do I want more room then I can get a unlimited I just got one and love it 07 unlimited its not going to be easy to find a comparable suv. please do not compare it to an h3.

[Beel_MT]

I take exception when someone brings up this argument. It is very presumptuous for someone to assume to know what my income or net worth may be. I was really irritated by the comment that a hummer driver called it a “poor man’s hummer”.

Personally, I am fortunate enough that I could have purchased a hummer if I had wanted. However, regardless of how much money I may or may not have the hummer would not be my first choice, it wouldn’t even be in the top ten. I wouldn’t say I hate them, they do just not impress me and I’ve never even considered owning one.

The Jeep is the original and the Wrangler is the king of off-road utility, off the show room floor. My opinion is that if the hummer hadn’t stolen the classic Jeep slotted grill there wouldn’t be this discussion. So many SUV’s resemble each other it’s crazy. How many times have you looked into your rear view mirror and you can tell right off, “Oh, it’s a Ford…it’s the Dodge honey-comb…” You see the slotted grill on the hummer and you do a double take before you realize it’s the imitator.

I’m sure there are many folks on the board who could buy a hummer if they wanted to; they simply have no desire to own one.

Well said, yes indeed there are many of use that could of purchased a

I had the top off and the doors off today and I still got the comment twice within an hour. On the plus side, the day before with the sunrider folded back and the doors on, about 5 people commented on it at Subway, and all new it was a Jeep. Maybe people are coming around.

Two older ladies that were about 75 were talking to each other as they walked by it, and one lady said to the other, "is that a hummer" and the other one said, "no its a jeep, see the top is folded, hummers cant do that"

[Brettzky-JK757]

As I was driving our babysitter home the other night, she remarked that her dad (currently driving a 2005 Wrangler) was looking to get a new vehicle (an H3). What she said was "my dad's been wanting a Hummer for four years".

Since she is in HS, I suppressed the urge to say something witty (maybe FR can take her to the Prom?), and instead I told her to have her dad come check out my JK.

I told her to tell him: An H3 is what you use if you don't want to go off road. She said she liked the JK better (especially since the roof comes off) and that she'd try to get him to check out the JK as well.

Just a report from the 757...

[CHOPPER]

Here you go, use these at your own discretion...

1 : "The're called Hummers because they suck"

2 : A person says, "I see you bought a poor mans hummer.

The #1 best reply for this is "What's a hummer???".

Here are some others...

A - "It's not a poor mans hummer, it's a nature lover's convertable.

B - "What does Fellatio have to do with my Jeep?"

C - "Were you watching? I didn't think we could be seen.:thumbs:

What does the H3 look like with the top down?:yup:

[hangfire]

One of my Army buddies has an H2 and I pranked him one day. I hooked up a tow strap between his bumper and mine in the parking lot. He parks it in the back of the lot to avoid dings on his bling. That helped a bit. Put a little pile of gravel under his rear tire (I.E. he got "Stuck") all that he could do was look at the ground and laugh when he saw it. There are a lot of jeepers in the Army. No doubt there was plenty of appreciation for it. :)

So I have my JK in the dealership in line to talk to the service rep and a salesman comes over and asks how I like my new Jeep. We talked some and another salesman comes walking past and says" Nice looking vehicle, looks like a Hummer!"

This from a Jeep sales person, go figure.

How about RSQHUMRS for a license plate?

Outdoors I prefer my Jeep
This time of year I prefer a hmmmmmer indoors
:thinking:

You can get a hummer in a Jeep, but can you get a Jeep in a Hummer?

[Jeff]

When I get a "it looks like a Hummer" from someone, I give a puzzled look and say "I think it looks like a Mercedes G class, don't you?" Since hardly anyone has ever seen a G class, we get back to talking Jeep. If we make it to the front of the vehicle and they ask (pointing to the tow hooks), "what are those for?", I answer "to pull Hummers out of the mud".

It is amazing to me that a brand like Jeep that has been around for 60+ years is not what people first think of when they see a JK.

[dkingjk]

your hummer looks likes a bloated, overweight, clumsey JEEP

[Dean]

I ordered a Sahara Unlimited, and everyone that sees one on the street makes that Hummer comment to me. I don't really care, I don't think it's a bad thing. The Hummer essentially took the boxy philosophy of the Jeep and made it into a luxurious, appealing package to the world's population. The G-wagon from Benz is too expensive, and boxy Land Rovers (like the Defender) are hard to find. Since Hummer beat Jeep to the finish line with a 4-door 4WD box, it's only natural that the comparisons will be made. Anyways, my brother has the H3 and it's a fine vehicle. Does what it's supposed to: gets through deep snow, hauls his groceries, he feels good in it because it's not a minivan.

Everyone knows Jeep, it's just that Hummers wound up in the public eye quickly and suffered from overexposure in rap videos and celebrity tabloids.

Most people I know (laypeople, they don't know anything about off-roading or which brands outperforms what) seem to routinely make the following assumptions:

1. Jeeps are rugged outdoorsy vehicles that go-anywhere/do anything. Most people know that the Jeep progenitors played some role in defeating the Third Reich.

2. Hummers are basically show vehicles, but most people anecdotally think the H1 is unstoppable.

3. Land Rovers are expedition vehicles for the African Serengetti or Kenyan lion reserves.

[aussie]

in australia they are just about to release the hummer 4wd officially. they should have called them the hummer boat anchor. They are almost too wide for australian roads

[aiian]

i'm not really sure why everyone is so anti hummer. i understand you loving jeeps but deep down inside everyone would agree the original h1s are pretty bad ass and the h3s are actually quite capable 4x4s. the h2s do suck however.

i don't have my jk yet, but i really could care less if someone said it looks like a hummer, odds are they're driving some lame ass camry.

:edit: here's a quick comparison of a 4 door rubi and an h3, neither of them are mine. if it's yours and you don't like me using your photos let me know and i'll remove them.:
http://www.allangreendale.net/dump/jk-h3.jpg

of course we know the difference in an h3 and a jeep but from the outside looking in it's easy to see the similarities. for example at first glance i would think the hyundai sonata looks exactly like a kia spectra but the kia owner would not. apples and oranges, i know but you get the point. hopefully.

The other day, I was out at the pump. An H3 pulls up on the other side. Dude gets out, and starts pumping; not a word out of him. His wife/girlfriend/ walks up to him for something, looks at the JK and says "Can we do that with our Jeep?" (she was pointing at the Freedom Top...had front panels off). He told her that their ride was a Hummer. She told me she loved my Jeep...dude was bummin'. He still had his temp-tags on.

No, (It's not a poor man's hummer) It's a Rich Man's Jeep!!!

[MJS_Jeep_888]

No, (It's not a poor man's hummer) It's a Rich Man's Jeep!!!

Hummers are ridiculous vehicles that serve a singular purpose: To look good, and get attention. When it comes to actually being able to GO off-road, they fall pretty flat on their face (not to mention that most of their owners will never SEE off-road conditions).

Jeeps, on the other hand, are versatile vehicles that serve multiple purposes. They can look good, but when it comes to off-roading, the Jeep is KING (the Hummer is a drag queen, at best).

[Robar]

No, (It's not a poor man's hummer) It's a Rich Man's Jeep!!!

It's a real man's four wheel drive.

[hurstrescue]

Just reply with "No Thanks".

Then they will be really confused. They might even think they offered you a hummer.

There really is no comparison. I'd take the JK anytime.

I agree Robar, The JK is evolution of an original, not a made over Tahoe, Yukon, or Trailblazer. The Unlimited just grew an extra set of doors this year.

i get the hummer comment... most again are meant as compliments

one guy, a hummer driver told me i bought the jeep b/c i couldnt afford a hummer...

i told him

"you paid twice as much for a fixed door/fixed roof vehicle with small windows... but, if i looked like you, i would not want anyone to see me either."

and the the little ricer cars that love to fly by and cut you off just to come to a stop at the red light where you pull up next to them...

"yeah... if i drove a piece of shit like that, i would drive fast so no one could see it was me. Life will get better one day, dont worry little guy"

That's because when you started your thread, you said...

To my point, the 4dr in anyway you look at it with a lift or not, looks like a HUMMER H2. How many of you 4dr owner have gotten hey nice hummer. If I got that I would trade my Jeep in immediately. Not trying to be an ass. Just expressing my opinion. More opinions welcomed.

There's a major difference between stating an opinion and trying to piss people off. By the way, don't send me any more F-U PM's for stating mine, it's childish.

I just thought I'd post a pic of a smashed fiberglass H2. I figured some hummer bashers might like it.

that looks like a pretty healthy nearly head on hit. I would say the passenger compartment looks to have held up quite well. Looks like the engine compartment/crumple zone did it's job pretty well.
To me, that is more of a Hummer pro than con. Not that i would want one.

You know; I've never driven or ridden in an H2, now that I think about it. I just think they're pretentious vehicles. Here is Demetri Martin discussing them:

Air Force had the originals. Got to drive a few variations, for the intended purposes they worked alright, but overall they where heavy, slow, rode like a surfboard on buzz strips, took half of south korea to turn around, would get stuck going downhill on gravel (I did it), and the milage was horrible.

They took a crash well though, had one t-bone a chevy panel van, dumped the van on its side & twisted it all to hell.

broke the turn signal on the hummer. :thinking:

This looks great. When I get mine in (looks like it will be 08). I think I'll get a quote from a sign shop to wrap the door frames to look like this, probably not very expensive. Also it is reversable if i change my mind.

While I might agree that it does look better with the hard top on, I think it would look mighty silly if you took the top off and left the doors on. I haven't bothered to play with photoshop to see what it looks like without the top, but I'll bet it looks, well, odd.

[SaharaBlackNo1]

I can see the h3/h2 comments, I just happen to prefer the JK. I paid for mine in cash and had enough to buy an h2 new. A friend of mine at the gym I go to has one and I've driven hers. It drives remarkably nicely, it's got a nice interior and well I personally enjoy seeing a hot blonde driving any type of truck, especially one with a name like hummer. lol In the end I went with the JK because it was a tad smaller (try parking a hummer in DC), get's better gas mileage, has more options with what you can do with it (top off, etc, etc). I don't think most people mean any harm when they say it looks like a hummer, unless as a few people stated it's a hummer owner saying that you bought a poor man's hummer. At that point I'd refer him to my rear license plate holder, it reads "I'd rather be... Choking you out." nagafighter.com

And frankly as mentioned in 2 posts it looks much more like a Benz G Wagon than it does a Hummer.

[rwitte42]

I had someone walk right past the Yellow H2 I was parked next to yesterday while shopping to come over and compliment my JK with the top down and safari doors on.

I just learned to shrug it off. :rollingeyes:

If the Hummers top and doors came off it would look like a Jeep.

I told him, yeah...I told your mom the same thing........Ok, not really, I'm not that crude....If the wife and kid weren't in the car....maybe. I guess he did see the Jeep logo's on the bumpers.

OK. So I live in Louisiana where the senator David Vitter has been in the news for seeing prostitutes. This was pretty much national news for a day or two.

Anyway, being in Louisiana, a good bumper sticker or reply would be "If I wanted a Hummer, I'd call David Vitter to find one."

Best I can do. :D

But that fat bitch skinny bitch comparison above is just hilarious! BWAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAA! :rotflmao1: :rotflmao1:

You know, I've never had anyone ask me if my Jeep is a Hummer when it looks like this.....Oh, that's right, Hummers never look like this do they? :naw: :naw: :naw: :naw: :naw: :naw: :naw: :naw: :naw: :naw: :naw:

[blackmarketg4]

how about "thank you"? i wouldnt mind my rubi looking like a $120k SUV... lets be honest (now, if it looked like an H2 or H3, then i would be PISSED!)

[[M]IKE]

How about any of the following responses...

"Really?! Sh*t... I'm trading mine in for an H3 tomorrow!!"

"Yeah, you're right... except without the vagina."

"Red-rover, red-rover, send the brain-cell right over."

"Yeah? How'd you like a nice hot cup of 'shut-the-f*ck-up'?"

"Are those the vehicles I keep seeing stuck in the mud?"

"I think I rescued one last weekend..."

Or... just sock the guy in the face. Don't hesitate. Just punch his lights out before he even finishes the sentence. When he wakes up and asks "Wut happened?", tell him he got hit by a mini-Hummer.

I actually just thought of a great liscence plate that i'll have to get along with my JK.....

[Sethco]

Last night my the family went out to eat and when we were leaving a yellow H3 was parked next to us. My daughter said "look daddy a yellow Jeep". I said very loudly "No Honey that isn't a Jeep, that is a guy with too much money, and too stupid to do research before he bought it". Just then the alarm on the H3 chirped and the guy about 5 feet behind me was holding the keys glaring at me. I smiled ear to ear as I saw him, and before I got in the Jeep I said loud enough the whole parking lot could have heard. "Hey Honey would you like to take the top off the Jeep!":rotflmao1::rotflmao2::ya:
He never said one word!

[hkusp40]

I would like to see one of the 4x4 mags do a side by side comparison of the H3 and the 4 Door Rubi !!!!

:D

Not a 4WD mag but car and driver did one.

it took my 08 rubicon out of town to visit my parents last weekend
needless to say , my dad is in love with hummers
when i told him over the phone that i had bought a new jeep
he kinda gave me the sigh over the phone (YOU BOUGHT ANOTHER JEEP)
But any ways me and the wife pull into my parents drive way and say our hellos
(the entire time my dad couldnt take his off off the jeep)
so i gave him the tour of the cockpit and all the features ie lockers ,disco,sunrider
and so on
by the time we were done the tour he sheepishly asks me if i had a business card
for the dealership (i did of course)
in short hes coming into the city this weekend to pick up a new jeep

boooooooooo yaaaaaaaaaa jeep 1 hummer 0

Ok. I've had it. I've had my Unlimited Sahara and I've heard this exact phrase three times now...two from strangers and one from a neighbor. Thing is, I think they were all trying to be complimentary. But it's not, and I'm sure everyone on this board knows why. So, let's gather some great responses...I've come up with none...I just mumble something under my breath and pretend I didn't hear it. We need some great come-back lines!

i get this all the time too. just tell them that actually, a hummer LOOKS LIKE A JEEP!!! like the classic, 'which came first, the chicken or the egg' is debateable. but i'm sure we all kno which is the chicken in this argument...

[snowbdr88]

I hate when people say that about mine.

I typically just glare and mutter something about my vehicle being able to go places other than the mall...

Just say "Speaking of a nice Hummer, how is your wife doing?" That usually shuts them up.

We did a thread like this over a year ago. One guy actually parked next to a hummer. The hummer owner had the balls to say, "So, you bought the poor mans hummer, eh" What a dick! The above line would have been good for him!:yup:

[chumpmann]

Should just have a bumper sticker that simply states:

CAN YOUR HUMMER DO THIS?

So wether you are rolling with the top down, or doors off, or both, or taking it through the trails, They will know who has the superior vehicle!

Yesterday I was driving by a hummer dealership (in Novi to be exact) and guess what I saw on display. Outside the dealership they had two vehicles up on rocks for display and one of them was a wrangler unlimited. I think it was crying. To make matters worse since this was a hummer only dealership, that means someone traded in their unlimited for a hummer.

Anyone else notice the Rescue Green "Rubicon" pictured in the article is actually a Sahara?:thinking:

Nice write up, otherwise.

Apparently that's the only way to get people to pull into a Hummer dealer :rotflmao2:

[Big D2]

I do have to say that one of my old time favorites is the H1. It's rugged and has amazing payload capacity.

No, it's not a Jeep and it probably won't go as far in certain terrains, while in others it will.

As for drivers, I think most Hummer, especially, H2 and H3, drivers are the most brain washed bunch of ignorant idiots. NOT ALL, JUST MOST.

It's actually funny, when we were doing a fairly easy trail close to town, one that we had done dozens of times in our lifted Liberties, we came across a real estate agent taking his H2 through. He pulled up beside us and said that he wouldn't recommend we go there with Jeeps. Ya, I know it's Liberties, but believe me our Liberties have been on many trails that many Wranglers hav't been on.

But moral of the story, is the guy didn't have a clue what he was doing cause the trail was easy. He had some coin to spend, and he's the guy the advertisers love, because they can make a picture of his truck on Mt. Everest and he'll go around telling people his truck can go there.

today as i was sitting at a red light the car next to me beeps his horn and rolls down the window it a 70 year old man and his wife.he ask is that a hummer?no it's a 4 door jeep...old man then turns to his wife and said told you at looks too good to be a hummer.then give me the thumbs up and drives off.

p.s. no nose picking in the new jk someone is always looking at you.or get dark tint windows up front.


Now that is funny!:rotflmao2: I catch girls doing that behind the wheel all the time.:taunt::blush:

[SASQUATCH]

Too funny! I wouldn't take offense, have never heard that because I have a 2-dr I guess. But once leaving The Room Store, this couple was walking out and by our Jeep as we were getting in, this guys wife said "baby that doesn't look like a Hummer I'm confused", the guys laughs out loud at her and says "No silly, it's a HUMMER RESCUE UNIT sticker, it's a Jeep that rescues stuck Hummers"....she said "ohhhhhh ok now I get it". :crazyeyes:

i saw the same thing at the hummer dealer on Telegraph last week! i said to my wife and kids, "WHO TRADED IN THEIR JEEP FOR A HUMMER!"
THEN..... yesterday i went through the roof :thinking: i turned on the JK and the Mygig turned on BUT no sound. when i turned the dial, the volume and numbers didn't appear. i turned the JK off and on ten times then gave up. i drove 30 minutes with no radio :mad: i've almost had it with all these "bugs" in this thing. the roof leaks. the door is now rattling like in other threads! the radio that i waited for forever is a piece. the dash lights go on like it's possessed. and it runs poorly after the dealer replaced the fuel pump. $35K pain in my butt! i don't get it. i had the first year TJ in 1997 and that thing was bulletproof. so i wait for the second year run JK and it has more problems and recalls then a Pinto!

Man that sucks for you, Lemon Law it if your dealer doesn't get it right, it's how I replaced my 06 Rubi which was a total POS, figured the last build year they'd have gotten right, whatever total crap. I have had no issues with my 07 Rubi, guess I just got a good batch. The only thing they've had to fix was the rattling clutch and when the front axle started leaking a few drips they replaced the entire front D44 axle.

Well, now if someone compares you you can always say, "Yeah, except my Wrangler actually sells and isn't about to be dropped from Jeeps line up."

GM Closing Four Truck and SUV Plants in North America
By TOM KRISHER, AP
Posted: 2008-06-03 09:13:11
WILMINGTON, DEL. (AP) - General Motors Corp. is closing four truck and SUV plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico as surging fuel prices hasten a dramatic shift to smaller vehicles.

CEO Rick Wagoner said Tuesday before the automaker's annual meeting in Delaware the plants to be closed are in Oshawa, Ontario; Moraine, Ohio; Janesville, Wis.; and Toluca, Mexico. He also said the Hummer brand may be discontinued.

[StevieRay]

Personally, I have the "Hummer Recovery Unit" bumper sticker. When someone says that to me, I tell them to look at the sticker, then I tell them:

"That's in case a guy accidentally takes a Hummer Offroad"

:brows:

[MAD Jeep]

Well I'm sure by now we've all heard that GM is putting up Hummer for SALE. I think that one explains it's self. I have nothing against H1s if I could afford one and the diesel to go with it ($4.60 a gal) I'd probably get one they look cool. I can see why people think the 4 door resembles a hummer but just remember that the hummer came after the jeep. It just took Jeep way to long to come up with a 4 door wrangler.

I do agree with whom ever posted about it looking like a mercedes g wagon. I would say it looks like that more then anything else.

One of my nephews called it the "Demon Mobile"

Best name for it ever! :)

Mine says "If I wanted a Hummer, I'd call you sister"
all was well until a chick in the parking lot walked by and said "I am the sister"
Now my wife seems to think I need to remove it:dontknow2:

[MI MudBoss]

this thread is about people calling our Jeeps Hummers. We all take offense to it, yet i keep reading all these people REMOVING the Jeep logo off of the grill and other locations. Why are we taking off things that identify our vehicles as Jeeps then getting mad b/c others think it's a Hummer?

[Yucca Patrol]

I got this comment from a 7 year old kid yesterday for the first time. . . . "Is that a Hummer?"

I told him that it was a Jeep and it was better than a Hummer. I told him that Hummers only look cool but that Jeeps ARE cool. . . Hope I made an impression.

[myjk]

You are lucky down here we get the real ones and what Holden (GM) calls a hummer h2 dam thing has leaf springs and IFS front. And don't know how many times I have that stuped line (looks like a hummer).

[J..]

I would have gotten an unlimited apart from the fact that... they look like a mini Hummer?
