Title: My dad just bought an H2!
Post by: MPTheory on June 23, 2004, 09:09:49 AM
I just took a ride in my dad\'s new hummer.  He just picked it up today.  Its awesome, not only does it come with a touch screen XM radio, it also switches over to a full color GPS system.  Cool Shiat I tell you.  TOTALLY sold me on XM radio.  Clear as hell, and Awesome selection of music.  Im gonna pick one up for the Acura probably this weekend!

Yellow?  Wouldn\'t be my favorite choice, but still cool.  The only thing I like about them is that they are high from the ground.  I don\'t like cars that much anymore.  I am more of a truck-girl now.  Well, thats my opinion.

I am wanting to do an upgraded suspension on a hummer on this new series I am supposed to be doing.  Trying to avoid it all costs because it\'s double the work for no money.

Anyway, they are definitely big, but certainly not built like the original hummer.  Still a fun truck.  What\'s the gas mileage?  How many fill ups from the dealership to the house?

People with tiny penies, like myself and MPTheory\'s Dad need to compensate.  It makes us look like actually men :)


But seriously, these cars ride really smooth and are really a luxury car with a bad look.  Just take a ride in one of them, I\'m sure something about it will change your opinion about the Hummers.

I like the H1 a lot more better. Its more based on the military Humvee (were built on the exact same assembly line actually) and performs better offroad than the H2 (some tests have proven this. Higher ground clearance and crap like that). I never really liked the H2 at all. I would never own one. They take too much gas. I\'ll settle with sport cars thank you.

Don\'t hate.
Is he seriously going to take this vehicle offroad?  I get the impression with all the bling chrome and plastic accents on the outside, and the comfy interior, that most of these vehicles won\'t be driven on an unpaved road.  If your dad is planning to take it offroad, then more power to him.

I do hate these H2s because they are a danger to me on the freeway.  You can\'t see around them, so you cannot anticipate traffic conditions ahead, and they are so high that it\'s easy for the H2 driver to miss small cars and motorcycles around them.  Also, there\'s rarely any reason to waste the fuel necessary to move that much mass around just to transport 1, 2 or even 4 people.  It weighs at least twice what a vehicle needs to weigh to accomplish that purpose.  Even a luxury vehicle, with all the features and gadgets people seem to love.

I\'ve given up arguing about those things though.  I don\'t care any more if someone wants to buy one of these.  The only thing I don\'t understand is why people like them.  I still don\'t understand the attraction.  You can get a comfortable leather interior, GPS, and XM radio in a hot sedan that\'s also fast and far more fuel efficient.  What\'s so great about a huge hulking bulk of metal like these enormous SUVs?

More like $56K - $65K for an H2 with moderate options.  For that you could have bought an Audi S4, a BMW M3, or a MB CLK500.  :laughing:

Neither does a Hummer.  If Honda made the Hummer, it would weigh 2000 pounds less, get 15 more miles per gallon, and probably have a hybrid powertrain.  But then all the conspicuous consumers would sneer at it because of the H badge.

ummm, get your facts straight:

Hmmm?  :p

Maybe you should understand what you\'re posting before chastising me.  It\'s ok, I\'ll help you out.  :)

First, no vehicle other than one manufactured by Honda has VTEC®.  That is Honda\'s registered name for their variable valve timing technology.  Therefore my statement was true on that basis alone.

Second, I can almost guarantee you that the H2 does not have any sort of variable valve timing.  :)  They put "OHV" in the specs, which I guess implies that it\'s not a pushrod engine, but it still has only two valves per cylinder.  It seems pointless to implement variable valve timing on an engine with two valves per cylinder, but even if they did, don\'t you think they would have mentioned it?  I\'ve been looking everywhere, and found nothing.  I\'m sick of looking for more tech specs on this engine, but you can keep searching if you want.  It seems no one cares enough to bother talking about it, even on the Hummer forums.

BTW, it\'s just another boring powerplant found in any number of GM SUVs and trucks.  316hp out of a 6 Liter V8 is pathetic.  My F20C makes 240hp out of 2 liters and four cylinders.

^^^Hey its a giant Tonka!

Damn... Told you right.

The man is right. I saw a vid of the h2 trying to take on H1 terrain and got crushed. The axle was f*ed beyond repair. The H2 is just a facified, watered down, more public friendly H1.

Personally i dont really like either, as i pretty much cant stand 90% of all trucks etc.  

And Cored is definately right about the sad amount of power produced by the H2. I mean, people get upwards of 200 and 300 hp from a 79 corolla 3TC engine all the time. Thats a 4cylinder engine at 1.8L.

What happened to American ingenuity and know-how?
Title: My dad just bought an H2!
Post by: Titan on June 23, 2004, 09:18:25 PM
The H1 is diesel and H2 gasoline, right?

The car only weighs 2,800 pounds so it doesn\'t need heaps of torque like a freaking truck or an SUV.  If I wanted to pull tree stumps, I would have bought an F150.  BTW your comment about the Hummer engine proves my point.  Thanks.

Cool, another person I can blame for high gas prices and poluting the ozone.

The H2 is a gas guzzler. Because it has a gross vehicle weight rating over 8500 lbs, the US government does not require it to meet federal fuel efficiency regulations. Hummer isn\'t even required to publish its fuel economy (owners indicate that they get around 10 mpg for normal use). So while our brothers and sisters are off in the Middle East risking their lives to secure America\'s fossil fuel future, H2 drivers are pissing away our "spoils of victory" during each trip to the grocery store.

He shoulda bought a Vette.  The best low tech Engine ever made is in the Z06.  Sure it has a 5.7L V8, but it gets 19/28 fuel economy.

Not really anything wrong with  being addicted to traveling.  This is America, we have the most wide open roads in the world and we depend heavily on the trucking industry to get goods from one place to another.  The problem is the internal combustion engine is, or at least should be, nearing the end of its life cycle.

Kirath owns / owned an Audi.  If you want to lodge any complaints about Hondas, please direct them to me.  

To which I would respond...  Which company is the largest manufacturer of engines in the world?  Which automaker currently leads the IRL manufacturer championship?  Which is in third place in Formula One (behind Ferrari and Renault), a racing series the domestic manufacturers like GM don\'t even have the technological capability of competing in?

The Z06 gets 19/28 mpg!? thats crazy. And how is such a large leap in highway miles achievable, because i have no idea. I dont think it has to do with it having a low revving engine but sheesh thats crazy.

Yes, my uncle has an LS1 C5 convertible.  When you drive on the highway in 6th gear, the engine is turning about 1,500 rpms.  It\'s pretty insane.  28mpg or better is quite easy to attain on the highway.

The Hummer 2 is built on a Tahoe platform, I believe. If not, it\'s on a Suburban platform.

H2 fun. There used to be a video of an H2 rock crawling and until th axel borked (yes, borked :p ). This one is slightly less damaging though.

Jebus.  The sad thins is that the only real reason I brought up the fact that he got the H2 in the first place, was becuase I liked the XM radio in it.  Personally, I wouldn\'t buy a hummer.  But I don\'t go around hating people that drive one beacuse I can\'t afford it.  (like the Friggin Paulsies on FUH2.com).  I really dont understand the whole H2 bashing concept.  Its basically a cool toy for my dad to drive around in.  

I have driven lots of diffrent vehicles.  Trucks, jeeps, cars, SUV\'s... I just bought an Acura RSX which was by far, my number one choice of vehicles to buy.  Its quick, classy, and extremely efficient on fuel.

Maybe I should starting hating on Truck drivers, cause there vehicles are to big for the road. and they use too much fuel.  Damn the 18 wheelers.. Im gonna make a website.  FU18wheelers.com.

Well, 18 wheelers have experienced and better than average drivers behind the wheel. I think people here are jaded from the SUV drivers who have no clue how to drive according to the size and bulk of their vehicle. They drive it like a car. We\'ve all been cut off by cars....but imagine when a Hummer 2 cuts you off! And it\'s not like it can stop very well.

Sorry man, I ain\'t hatin\'. I just hate being cut off by SUVs coz they can\'t see me or they know they\'re bigger and can crush me.

"POS Honda?"  :laughing:  All I have to do is change the oil, partner.  Can you say the same?  I can\'t wait to hear what you drive, Cyrus.  Don\'t keep us in suspense.


Cord I was only talking to Kirath about the gasoline statement. The rest was completly directed at you because you stated something about "My F20C" I knew you had a Honda.

Wich company is the largest manufacturer of computer operating systems. Wich company leads the market in overall sales in its area? AND...... Windows is still a POS operating system that gets owned by a penguin. SOOO PLEASE!!! Dont tell me about the great enginering feats of fliping Honda.

This is my ride and yes it a gas guzzler his name is Hefe my little Mule..

Hey Cyrus:  How about a race?  You bring your disintegrating Ford, and I\'ll bring my S2000.  BTW, do you know offhand what your top speed is?  Never mind... we\'ll find out.  :D
Title: My dad just bought an H2!

I have a three speed and a 411 rear end my top speed is maybe 65mph.

then again your speed wont help much pinned beneath my tires.......

I guess that\'s a "No."  :laughing:

It\'s hilarious how you say Hondas are shit, and your Ford is great, but you don\'t give any evidence for that statement except this fantasy of your offroad vehicle rolling over a Honda.  Never mind that Hondas are more reliable, have better build quality, greater longevity, are more efficient, burn less fuel, make more power, produce lower emissions, and are generally a better value as an automobile.

Who cares about that stuff when you can just roll over a Honda in your big manly 23 year old obsolete Ford Bronco?  Of course you would never do that because then the Phoenix police would arrest you and throw you in jail.  :laughing:

Thats crazy. I think my next car is going to be a Vette :D (yeah right). Was considering a newer Porsche 944 (maybe turbo) but the rents say that my insurance would be rediculous so i just said fudge it.

BTW Cored i hate you and your damn S2000 too  :mad: (plots to steal it) :p

And Cyrus man, that bronco is going to make me go blind. Stupid hunk of $#!t. j/k. BTW, is that an arm under your truck!? ;)

I noticed that the hood\'s propped up. I see a lot of Fords like that. :p You know....on the side of the road....like yers. ;)

Wow for a minute you were in my shoes..... How did it feal to be a man?

BTW I never said my ford was great just that yours was shite. ;)

Greater Longivity? Mine is 23 years old how old is yours? You will have to see if in 23 years if yours is still on the road... Wich I highly doubt. More relaible Ill give you that. Better build quality again you have a long time to go before you can compare that to mine. Lower emmisions - um no I belive my truck prolly has the same or better emission readings than yours.

Again your missing the point who cares If my truck is better than yours or your car is better than mine or MPs dads is better than both of ours its all a matter of opinion and prefrences I enjoy my bronco you obviously like your honda MP\'s Dad likes his H2 to go off on these little tangents about how terrible the h2 is and how great honda is.. Is just well dumb. His dad can afford it likes it and doesnt mind paying the extra in gas. I like to camp and 4 wheel drive sooo mine is better for me. You obviously like to go really fast in a straight line on a smooth surface so you got a honda. Vid has a small wang and some cash so he bought a Beemer.

You call it obsolete I call it a classic. Your honda will never be a classic.

The hood is up so I could take the pick for you of real american engineering and when I need to I can fix just about anything I need to on it on the side of the road..... Can you without a computer and some diagnostic equipment?

I never said anything was shit.  I only said I hate Hummers because they are a danger to me on the freeway.  Just don\'t say my car is shit when you have no rational reason for that statement.  When you say nonsense like that, I have to respond.  We wouldn\'t be talking about Hondas if you hadn\'t brought it up.

Longevity:  You\'re right, we don\'t really know yet because my car\'s first model year was 2000.  BUT... May I ask how many miles are on your engine?  Has it ever been replaced or rebuilt?  I would just say that one often encounters Hondas that are still running strong at 150,000, 200,000 miles or more.  Fords... well not so much.  :o

Build quality is something that\'s qualitatively measured the day the vehicle rolls out of the factory, so there\'s no waiting to evaluate that one.  Honda wins over Ford according to every sane person.  I\'ve owned Fords before I know of what I speak.

As far as emissions, the S2000 is a LEV, and benefits from Honda\'s extensive research work on emissions reduction.  I can absolutely guarantee that it has better emissions than your 1971 Ford.  There\'s no way this cannot be true.

This part is the most absurd:  "You obviously like to go really fast in a straight line on a smooth surface so you got a honda."  If I wanted to go fast in a STRAIGHT line, I would have bought a Camero or a Mustang or some other boring muscle car that is all engine.  The S2000 is designed for cornering, but I\'m not surprised a truck guy doesn\'t know anything about cornering.  Do you like NASCAR too?

hmm.... Im definately not a fag, and Im not a chick, and Id take an s2000 over a blazer (pft.. blazers are lame :laughing:), but I don\'t really care for the S2000 very much.  It too pretty, but I get the impression that Cored is a pretty boy, so Im sure its perfect for him.  Just like Cyrus said... its all personal preference.  

In all fairness though, Hondas have excellent handling.

The asian chicks prefer JDM.  :)

Translation:  Hey, Getting this expensive car hasnt helped me get women one bit, so if you think that owning a big ugly SUV will help you, then maybe I should try cause the only tang I can seem to get is from some redneck mudflap mommas anyways.  Damn I wish I could be more like you and MP\'s dad.. and I have a small penis.

Heh Cord thanks for the debate.... Havent had a good one in while and the statement about going fast in a straight line was meant to get your goat... But your right Im a "truck guy" so I dont get all that ricer crap. No I dont like Nascar I\'m not a redneck. I dont need to pick up women because I have been married for 10 years. But if I did have you ever seen a cowgirl in those cowgirl jeans they like my truck????

This doesn\'t concern you MP.  :)  You couldn\'t get any mudflap mommas in your dad\'s H2 if you tried.  The H2 is for suburbanite poseurs.

This is between me and all the Ford F150 / Chevy S-10, Blazer / GMC Sierra, gun rack owning, flag waving, cousin raping rednecks in the great US of A.

I personally don\'t like SUVs. I have no use for it at this point. If I was in an area with a lot of snowfall (like Vermont) then I\'d get one but right now, I like owning a sport car. Its got everything I need and very fun to slam on the gas and go.

Or maybe I don\'t prefer to have a gas guzzling SUV (except a Bronco, which I don\'t know if it classifies as a truck or SUV) which flips over and puts me at more risk than a sport car and is a lot of the time slower than a sport car.
