Off Road is "dirty"
Come on, JR. You know that if you drive off the pavement you might get your rig dirty.

the 'self-cleaning-system' is the price tag on these Hummers.
With a 60,000 Dollar vehicle you wanna be seen.
In the desert nobody sees you.
So these guys are going Cabo for to drive their rabbit-box* along the beach promenade.
* is there anybody around who can say that the Hummer has a beautyful styling?
it looks like an Norwegian Coal Miners Box.
by the way, same to the Mercedes "G" wagon!> ugly!

JR?.this is getting very old. Have you reallynothing better to do than take pot-shots at others who earn more than you? You live in your tin
can in the most Gringo-infested community in the whole peninsula and who do you rail against? Gringos! Regardless of actual facts (such as your
mistaken impression as who buys more Sentri passes..duh, Mexicans!), your constant b-tching tells *way* more about you than the object of your
indignation. Such bitterness is a sad waste of energy.
It is a common dynamic for the ?have-nots? to bolster their sagging self-esteem by criticizing others who earn more, own vehicles that cost more,
live in better communities, etc.
This also applies to those who continually brag about their philanthropic efforts. True philanthropists are humble, sincere and usually
anonymous. We sure ain?t gonna see your picture in the dictionary next to that word!!
I can?t afford a Hummer, but more power to those who choose to spend their money any way they want to. It is not my place to judge them , nor it is
yours. Lighten up...it's time.

To Anonymous,,, you can not afford a Hummer??
Man, what kind of a "have-not" are you then?
What in the world gives you the right to launch personal attacks in this forum and to critizise people because of their lifestyle?
Are you living in a $500,000 home?
Paid for and 4 SUV's in the drive way?
If "NO", what kind of low-dog are you?
This forum is for those who post their questions and getting answers, not for personal attacks.
Posting as 'anonymous' , not having the guts to identify himself, and then launching personal attacks, well THAT IS COURAGES AND GOOOOOD BEHAVIOUR.
APPLAUS TO THE COWARD!
To all of those who are not misusing this forum > have a nice day!

I think JR's post that strated this thread was more of a joke than a real question. Many SUVs besides Hummers often never leave the pavement, and that
is funny.. to buy a 4WD and never use it. JR has a 2WD van and takes it more off the road than most 4WDs.
So, if JR is telling a joke, it neads no reply other than more simular jokes, maybe.
If, on the other hand, JR is not joking and is ranting anti-capitalism or anti-Amercanism, then anonymous has a valid responce... BUT, it doesn't
belong here on the Baja Q & A forum... 
The point is lets use Doug's form to share Baja trips and stories, ask Baja questions, give answers, grow friendships... Not to b*@ch at each other!

get a life, anon...
Right on guys,
I don't always see eye to eye with JR, but at least we are civil and we identify ourselves (many, many folks on this board know my name and my
personal e-mail- folks like anonymous don't deserve to know)
Come on out of your closet or delete your bogus rants, dude.
My earlier response was a smiling response to what I assumed was a smiling post.
And yeah, dufi (plural of dufus) who buy big off-road rigs and then never touch dirt are worth lots of smiles, and yucks, and even a little scorn.
Go JR!!!
Baja Arriba!!

to wound up
Ol anon is obviously way to wound up If heor she could not see the humor in jr's post. Must be from so-cal, all that freeway driving. I think he or
she needs an offroad adventure in baja just to get there rig dirty and bring along two bottles of tequila for attitude adjustment. fishin rich

I would love to see a hummer h-1 or h-2 take the washboard road test.
that is, if they don't run out of gas before they leave town.

Yup, I think they get a WHOLE 10 mpg! The size is for the gas tank... me thinks.
Honestly, it is what it is. I got to drive GeoRock's from the sulfur mine back to Nuevo Mazatlan and it was very easy to drive and didn't feel like a
big beast. She and Pete got it up to Rancho Matomi without a problem last February, as well.
Now, how about some good Baja stories people?

What is the washboard road test? I have a few thousand offroad Baja miles on my H-1 and that includes a lot of washboard. Hope I passed the test.

The washboard road test
That's the test that usually makes any GM product fall apart!
If a Hummer survives maybe it's because it was first made by AM General, a division of the AMC/Jeep Corp. Although (come to think of it) my AMC Jeep
sure wasn't built well...

well ken, I guess the h-1 is good to go. I just like the wide stance of that vehicle. Seems like it would be tough to roll one of those things.
not so sure about the h-2. That's a different beast altogether.

a lill off topic: have you guys ever heard - or seen - a 'UNIMOG'?
That is the ultimate off roader.
Certainly not tha fastes for the Baja 1000.
But if it comes to climbing, water passing, nothing is comparable.
UNIMOG is built by Mercedes in Germany for more than 50 years now.
Nerly every Army in the world is using the UNIMOG as it is a multy talent vehicle, can be equipped for more then 100 different jobs.
Even the U.S.Army is using them!

The Hummer didn't have any problems
on the La Gringa road. The toughest test so far has been exploring some of the beaches just north of El Rosario. By the way, is anyone else having
trouble posting photos?? I wanted to post one of a VERY DIRTY Hummer to prove they really do get dirty, but couldn't seem to get it to work.

If the photo is on your web site, and not over sized, you can hot link to it... that's how I have been posting photos. The attacment/brouse feature at
the bottom isn't working to get photos from your PC files.
Yes, a Unimog is a big beast! How about that Austrian (or Swiss?) mini Unimog called a Penzgouer (sp?)... Awesome looking machine!
