Sorry about link error on first posting.
All I get is "page cannot be displayed" Are you certain you have the correct link posted?
Frisco,
Link is corrected and tested. It now works. Definitely an instance of a "bummer hummer".
Ha, ha; H2's suck! They're strictly ON road vehicles, and this is just another example of their stellar offroading capabilities (and of the morons who buy them).
If ya wanna go offroading, ya gotta know what you're doing, and have a decent vehicle. Jeep or Land Rover, preferably.

Jeep or Land Rover, preferably.when they were living in Arizona , my father and mother did quite a bit of off roading in their toyota pickup truck and later in their ford explorer . which shows that a lot of it is knowing what you're doing even more than what you're driving . obviously the driver of the H2 in the photo is a complete idiot . even if he hadn't got stuck what was he going to do , drive through the tunnel ?hummers have to be the most useless vehicle on the road , or off the road apparently !

My guess is that they were talking on their cell phone. (They should of waited till they got out of the tunnel before trying to use it.)
You do know that if you own a Hummer, you are required to talk on your cell phone as you drive. Otherwise, it won't work. If you think I'm joking, count how many folks driving Hummers are talking on their cell phones as they drive...

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
That's too bad that that Hummer was treated that way. It's almost funny what you guys are saying about H2s. I personally have driven a stock H2 through 4 feet of mud, muck and water, and up a 200 ft sand dune. I'd like to see a stock Jeep do that.
And another thing, Jeep's newest car, the Compass, isn't even classified as trail rated! Ha! And need I remind you of how Daimler Chrysler's sales are right now?
I also think the picture looks photo-shopped.
