Okay as the title suggests, I took my first Hummer for a test drive whilst stranded in Brisbane (floods up home).
Now I must say, my first opinion on seeing any hummer on the road was 'that wanker....Who would drive such a huge tank and blah blah.....'
But I jumped into a H3 Adventurer and was pleasantly surprised, though not immediately. Had to try and get my long legs under the steering wheel and didn't like all the blind spots. But on the upside it drove better then driving my mum's flashy landcruizer and the turning circle was nearly as good as the TJ. The actual ride was nice, the seats were very comfy and I didn't have to fill up with fuel within the first 30mins.
I was a little hesitant with the size or lackof from the engine but surprisingly it seemed to pick up quite okay. Remember im comparing all this to my modded TJ that drives like a bush pig on steroids. Found out this H3 has a few nifty things when it comes to taking it offroad and the only thing i was allowed to do was drive it over a gutter. But I dont think i would have spilt my latte if i had one
I'm told the 09' models have bluetooth and rear camera....(very needed). I remember when i first got into my first TJ and couldnt get my head around the blind spots let alone the angle the windscreen was on. But the hummer was not a tank to drive, it was lovely. hmm that sounds a tad girly now doesnt it. But after spending the last 2 weeks in a kenworth i could take on a hummer and feel like i wouldn't spill my beer in a hurry.
So I think im off to townsville this weekend or next to test drive another and see if my new infatuation leads me to a new car. To all those who are gonna flame me, leave it at the door. I'm now in a bullet proof vest cause i have nuts of steel cause i drive a hummer. Yeah man!
Okay... enough. I have hope that not all hummer drivers are wankers because i did see a banana grower driving around in one. Now he looked pretty comfy in thongs and beer in tow...no latte. There is hope.
Anyone else taken one for a drive? Likes/dislikes? Only wish they came out in a diesel.
I drove a hummer
