Default Got my first "looks like a Hummer" today

One of my neighbors came by while I was installing an intake. Was pretty impressed, said he wants one, but commented that it looked like a B.J. (hummer).

I corrected him.

My son (Curtis) and I were camped a couple weeks ago at the KOA in Moab. We were having a little ice cream at their evening social--only about 50 feet from our campsite. I didn't hear it, but Curtis later asked me if I'd heard the woman at the next table comment how our JK looked like a cheap Hummer. If I'd heard it, I guess I'd have commented that I'd seen a number of Hummers during three weeks of travel out west .. but not off the main roads and out on the trails.

Sycamore Canyon near Sedona. No Hummers here:



Dry Creek Road near Sedona. None seen here either:



Schnebly Hill Road near Sedona. Nope, not here:



Road to Tall Trees Grove, Redwood National Park, CA. Not a Hummer in sight:



Lahontan State Recreation Area near Reno. No Hummers here either:



Gemini Bridges Trail near Moab. None seen:



Canyonlands National Park, UT. No Hummers for as far as the I (edit: eye!) can see:



Now, this isn't to say that I didn't see a few Hummers here and there. Why, there were a couple rental agencies in Moab that offered them. I just didn't see any off the lots. There were a bunch of Jeeps out there, though. And maybe even a Honda, a couple Volvos, a couple Expeditions and even a Dodge van. Just no Hummers.

My girlfriend knows I've been looking at JK's so she has started to point them out every time we pass one on the road. The other day she pointed to an H3. I'm going to miss her. j/k

good one

My brother called ours one.... I just kept staring at him until he said " kinda like a real one, an H1's with the top off" I guess I can live with that.

You guys are too much! LOL... Come to think of it you really do not see many Hummers on the trails??? Probably a good thing so us JK guys do not have to keep waiting to get by or keep pulling them out when they get stuck (often)

Take Care,

I only get those comments with the top on. Take the top and the doors off, the comments cease

Thumbs down

I took my friend out for lunch and she said " ooh I like this suzuki!"

I told her " get out of the Jeep!"


No good.


I really hate hummers and its not because I like Jeeps. I just always thought it was overkill. Plus, I only see pricks driving them. Hahah.
