You still look a bit of a dick, but so much less bad now.

    The one guy I knew who owned a Hummer2 was about 6 foot 9 inches tall and weighed about 400 pounds.

    When he got out of that thing it looked like a regular sized guy getting out of Camry.

      The H2 was everything the original was not. The original was based on the military vehicle, that idea was based on “wouldn’t it be cool if our transport killed us less frequently than the enemy”. Older Jeeps rolled over a lot .

      So you got a wider wheelbase, and other things like higher driveline. That’s why you had that huge transmission hump between driver and shotgun.

      The H2 is just a GMC truck with a body kit. The original Meal Team Six vehicle.

        did it drive like an actual humvee? everyone i know that’s been in the military says they were a nightmare to drive on pavement. one of them said a small amount of rain would have them sliding all over the place.

        They were both trash vehicles that had no place on the street. They were a danger to their own drivers as well as everyone else unfortunate enough to share the road with them. They had among the worst stopping distance and acceleration in memory. The H1 did 0-60. Eventually. It was something like 20 seconds as I recall. And it took nearly a football field to stop from that speed.
