Even though the 2008 models have been out for a few months, Hummer hasn’t been promoting them since dealers are still trying to wrap up the 2007 model year. Now Hummer is letting the masses know about the new ‘facelift’ on the 2008 H2 in a commercial called ‘Bandages.’ The …

New Hummer Concept Photo Released?
It’s got Hummer wheels, the unmistakable Hummer grille, and looks like it’s ready to hit the trails! However, this vehicle is not in Hummer’s future – in fact, as shown, it’s not in any manufacturer’s future. The vehicle is an artist’s rendering of the Jeep Hurricane concept vehicle that was …

The Dallas Hummer store has again wrapped a 2008 H3 to welcome in the Texas hunting season (See last year’s 2007 camo H3 here!) . This year, a ‘woodland’ camouflage wrap was chosen for more of a duck-hunting feel. In addition to the Hummer, the dealership set up a hunting …

After hosting several Hummer off-road events (see the write-up on our latest outing), we’ve used several different types of radios. The last few we’ve used two-way handheld radios that we experienced little success. And by little, I mean completely worthless outside of 50 feet. We needed something to communicate clearly …

Even though some of the roads are a little rough in Dallas, you have to drive a little ways to get into some good, Hummer off-road territory. We drove a little further than usual to hold an event at the beautiful Tonkaway Ranch. And it really is beautiful, just check …

Even though Gareth Groves has repaired his Hummer to the tune of $15,000 (luckily he was only out of pocket for the $250 insurance deductible!), he’s refusing to bring it back to the Washington, DC neighborhood where it was vandalized. In July, environmental terrorists attacked the Hummer and carved “FOR …

Last week when we had an article about the College Station Hummer Happening preview (btw, article and images are coming soon!) and we talked about ‘scorpions and rattlesnakes,’ we really didn’t have any knowledge of Hummer using just those predatory creatures in one of their newest commercials. The newest on …

Driving around the DFW area, it’s apparent the ‘bigger is better’ attitude has never been more true when it comes to Texans and their trucks and SUVs – and now, GM is making it possible to have large, capable trucks and SUVs, while conserving energy (and money!) at the same …

Hummer limos are a popular choice for weddings, and increasingly, having a ‘green’ wedding is becoming more popular. Quite a predicament you say? Not for the folks at Exotic Coach in Chicago, IL. They’ve converted their Hummer H2 limo to run on propane gas. The conversion was done by a …

When we saw the headline, “Hummer Goes Hybrid with National Geographic,” we expected to see some kind of conversion vehicle outfitted with a hydrogen engine. Instead, we saw a commercial announcing the release of a Hydrogen powered Hummer H3, due out in the spring of 2008 (see video below). “Hydrogen …

An interesting blurb buried in Gregg Easterbrook’s Tuesday Morning Quarterback blog on ESPN.com compares the environmental impact of the Live Earth compared to the impact of driving a Hummer for a year. We realize that ESPN doesn’t have a ton of credibility reporting on environmental news – but they enlisted …
