Humvee....

These things are the biggest pieces of crap to grace the roads since....

Well, they're huge, so there really isn't much else with which to compare them.

They are made to be tough. And they are very tough indeed. When they actually move. The main attractions for the military to these things are it's ability to withstand damage, the widespread configurations possible with the same basic chassis, and the how easy they are to repair.

Then you have the civilian version, now call the "H1." Same basic chassis as the military version, yet somehow GM managed to make the engines and electronics suck even worse.

Then GM decides, in it's infinite wisdom, to make a "new" hummer, based on their pickup platform. So, they come out with the atrociously hideous beast dubbed "H2."

True, they are both very capable vehicles. Both the H1 and H2 can go a lot of places your average off-the-lot Chevy can't. That doesn't make them off-road allstars by any means.

But man-o-man, do they suck.
