Hummer is better when armoured and used on roads, there it works quite well, you can take shortcuts rather well, it is enough big to plow trough debris and with good armour it is like light APC.
It's more a danger than anything else. Do you imagine a frontal collision between this car and your car. I'm quiet young so I have a poor car but I know how to handle it. If one of these stupid owner just lost control and crash into me, i'm certain at 100%: I'm dead. But it's not a problem off course because these drivers have no brain and a large among of cash ... It shouldn't be selled.
Moreover, it's a danger for all the mankind. This car can make a hole in ou atmosphere by his own. It consume so much gas, it's insane. But it's always make me laught in a way: It's seems to be an offroad car but you'll only see them (most of the time) on normal road ... A pointless vehicule made for riches (and brain less) people.
The trouble is they are being patched up on a basic design, after all the armour add-ons they have received the weight has seriously increased and it is putting too much stress on moving parts and the life expectancy is greatly reduced. Not great for long tours as vehicles constantly run into the ground. However with the bigger and better weapons in the conflict zones the small arms armour they do have is inefficient. They are being redesigned all the time by GM so they leave the factory with better armour and less weight so not to slaughter parts, but they have a lot of old models to finish off before the new ones are rolled out all over.
They are not quite the work horse as a Land Rover, don't look as nice, but there has only ever been one reported case (Note: I was told this a while ago, not sure how accurate it is now) of a H1 being flipped in the military (Landys get flipped all the time, but you can just roll it back onto it's wheels and keep on going), and that is because the driver was cocking about. It is just a shame the vehicle sucks so much.
What really surprised me here is that people consider American cars offroaders, when most of them are SUV
Wrangler is a offroader, Hummer H1 s offroader... FINAL...
Europeans have the W463 G class, and the Range Rover...
basically that's that, those are real offroaders IMHO
on topic - I laugh my a$$ off while thinking about this crash!
"Look at me in my Hummer! It's A GREAT drift car! It kinda reminds me of HACHIROKU! OH YEAH, DORIFTO POWAH"
