I live in major Yuppie Land and remember the mid '00s where Hummers were everywhere. And yeah, no one could park them. It's like how people drive these massive Yukons and it's not fun watching. Then all of a sudden, everyone was driving a Prius. So indeed, your observations are quite on the money. The same people can't park a Prius either.

I was an Army VIP driver, with over 180,000 miles logged in on the Hummer. The Army required attendance at a one week driving school, before granting authorization to drive one. It's seven feet, four inches wide, and that takes getting used to. It was plain irrisponsible to just hand one over to fools with the purchase price. They were made to go anywhere an M-1 Abrams tank could, and as fast, and most affluent silly-vilians would never use them for what they were intended for. People with more money than brains. I would never own one, the price of fuel and tires had me thanking God I wasn't paying for that! With an average of 9 to 11 miles per gallon, and a minimum of $500.00 each for Goodyear Wrangler tires, you can have it!

Military vet here. I honestly never got the fascination with the HUMV to begin with. I realize that they made some changes to make it more comfortable but you can only do so much and not completely change it. The vehicle was great for what its intended purpose was. I’ve driven these and they aren’t the easiest things to navigate on some city streets because of how narrow they can be. Because of the cost this was never going to be more than a niche vehicle because it wasn’t practical.
@bloqk1621 сағат бұрын
In the 1980s when the HUMV first came out, some of the feedback I heard (as a civilian) was that a Jeep would better serve the military in backwoods regions where vehicle width and weight would be critical, as the HUMV was just too massive and heavy to deal with those situations.
@fifthrider20 сағат бұрын
100% agreed. It's like people who want to own pet tigers as a show of power. Okay, sure, you have a tiger roaming around in your house. Cool. Impractical, but cool. Same goes for the humvee. Congrats, you have a great military vehicle with ground clearance and a wide wheel base but you can't park it in the average spot. Once those things were civilianized with plush interior, climate controls, it stopped being a humvee. I have no good memories of riding in a humvee from my time in the Army. ...or any vehicle.

In '92 I worked in law enforcement. I saw my first civilian owned Humvee approaching in the oncoming lane on a 2-lane road. It looked like the ones I saw when I was in the Army, but it was cleaner and in suspiciously perfect condition. Just for the fun of it, I threw up a salute from the patrol car as I drove by. The civilian driver surprised me by snapping to a quick return salute. I think we both had a good laugh about that and drove off. Once they stopped looking like the military versions the novelty wore off.

The phrase goes that a Hummer's fuel expenses are measured in gallons per mile and not miles per gallon, so I guess that about sums it up. The fact that it's gargantuan even by American standards definitely didn't help. It was a novelty and it had its brief time in the sun. I always found it cool and I was excited in the rare moments I saw one in the wild, but I'd never ever buy one even if I could afford it. Also congratulations on 400 videos! Keep up the good work!

When I first saw the Humvee on the military base when I was a kid in the early 90s that's when i fell in love with them. Now I own a yellow 2004 H2 (used) and a 2006 H3 (first owner). Then the EV came out and I want that one too but they cost too much. But I have a plan on getting one by the end of 2025. The H3 is great for off roading and the H2 is a statement vehicle and great for long distance driving (yes, mileage sucks but you got to live with it) with its smooth comfy ride. Both vehicles are still head turners on the road and people still are in awe of them. People don't hate on them as much rather I get a lot of compliments on them.

I wonder if there's also a bit of the post-9/11 militaristic patriotism at play. 2002-2006 saw a lot of pro-military stuff in pop culture (camo clothing in fashion, Support Our Troops ribbon bumper stickers, patriotic country songs, Disney Channel shows, etc.) and the Hummer would fit into that trend. Recall that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was initially quite popular, and the period of Hummer's decline also roughly corresponds to the timeline in which many Americans were coming to the realization that the Second Gulf War was a monumentally stupid idea: driving around in the street-legal version of a military vehicle suddenly wasn't as cool anymore.

I grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana, where my dad built the H3 and H3T for GM. I don’t disagree with GM for killing the Hummer brand. It wasn’t the right choice of vehicle during that economic downturn but I do think there will always be (and always has been) a market for a capable off-road vehicle. Jeep managed to survive and they’re still the most popular off road vehicle. Ford proved it with the Bronco return. Modern engines have proven to be capable while remaining fuel efficient, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more gas powered GMC/Hummer vehicles.

So, it was considered highly patriotic to buy a vehicle that was taking the fight to the taliban in many people's minds.

I've worked on several Hummer H2s and a couple h1s over the years. But I'll tell you, the hood on a Hummer H2 doesn't weigh much, but it is the bulkiest thing in the world, you need three people to move it two to carry it and one to move stuff out of the way as you're carrying it.

Aside from the high cost for fuel, replacement tires were very pricey, too, due to the high weight of the Hummer; as not any tire would do, but only those high-priced tires that were rated to handle the weight of the Hummer.

I like the new way you run the categories with part numbers. Maybe do a card at the beginning saying what they are then just run through them like you did.

I distinctly remember being WOWed by the Hummer when I first saw one, then equally wowed (in the other direction) when I first read what the estimated MPG was.

Feels like we'll be seeing a similar video on the Cyber truck in a few years.

Ironically, it was shortly after the famous 60 Minutes segment on their rising popularity, that gas prices began shooting up big time!

This will always and forever be my dream car. If I could have 1 of each version I would. Even the ev. I would do anything to have a hummer. And it always makes me mad when people confuse them for jeeps. Yeah I’m one of THOSE guys. What can I say I love hummer!

The H2 Hummer played a role on CSI: Miami when it debuted on CBS in 2002. It was used by every character, in every episode, on the show's run. With the Hummers coming to an end in 2009, is probably what led to CSI: Miami getting cancelled by CBS in 2012.

I first rode in a Hummer in 1995-96 at my friend's farm. Holy cow, what a cool vehicle.
