I just heard General Motors will stop making the Hummer.

And I was wondering if they will become collectible in years to come?
What do you think?

Anybody own a Hummer?

Steve...the title for this thread is SOOOO mis-leading.....I'm disappointed now....
I had high hopes for something else....

Don't own one, but do a lot of front diff work on them...mostly H2s

I wouldn't mind having one of the originals, tho...the real ones...

I thought this was posted wrong and should have been in the "anything goes" section.LOL It might take some time before they are collectible and it will be the first ones that are original not pimped out.Big%20smile
 
P.S. It should have been "Last chance to BUY a GM Hummer" not get a Hummer.LOL

You guys tear me up..... I wonder where that word came from?  Hmmmmm.?
Why did they call it a Hummer anyway?  The truck that is.  Anybody know?

PS...sorry if I offended anybody...Confused

Seriously, do think the Hummer will be collectable ?
It is a very unusual automobile.
In the years to come, will people be saying "shoulda bought a Hummer" ?

THANKS...

I left one in Afghanistan it was slightly used but it did do it's job, it saved my life.

Hummer is military slang for HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle)

If your talking about a GM HUMMER, then me.  I've driven, rode in, rode on, slept in, ate off of, too many HUMMER's in my time.  Of course mine rode much nicer then the ones GM is selling LOL Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing LOL
