Hello everyone! After finding this place recently and spending hours reading and reading entire threads I'm very happy to join and be a part of this community.
Born and raised here in Miami Florida my first car back in the 90s was a Hyundai excell equipped with no drivers door handle and a non working drivers window but it did have a hitch I used to tow my john boat anywhere from the keys to anywhere else I could take her and that we did. Some of my greatest memories and scariest breakdowns in the middle of nowhere came in that car. Next came an 88 Nissan pickup hardbody that had 88k miles,fat tires and worked like a brand new truck until I totaled it in a head on collision with 186k miles. In that truck I did some mudding, off road excursions down any back road I could find back when there was nothing but fields and nothing else where houses and real streets exist today. Fast forward through crown Victoria,grand marquis and 2 lexus is250's later I have arrived at a ( drumroll please) 2008 Hummer h3!
You see I've been wanting one for a while and have been searching for the right one and deal. My girl was against it(as if)until....until back in October after a day of heavy rain I escorted her in my is250 while she was in her lexus ct200 hybrid thingy to the highway. We ended up stuck in a church parking lot with nowhere to go surrounded by water and broken down cars in all directions. My 2012 IS bogged down in the thick of it as we approached the church parking lot escape route and my lights dimmed and the engine was powering down as I gunned it and made it into the church lot. She noticed nothing as she road in my wake and didn't realize how close we came to ruining our engines. As we sat there waiting in my car with nowhere to go we watched as a hummer drove through the main road like if nothing....I looked at her and said you see what I mean now....we need a hummer like I have been saying and she finally agreed. Like a month later a hummer h3 appeared at the dealer I wanted to make the move at and bam next thing you know I'm driving home in her and my girl loves it. Although I'm a total n00b unlike most of you including 06H3 or Recon and the most off-roading I've done was in that Nissan over 10 years ago. I look forward to making some mods and heading back to loop road, a place I haven't been to in way too many years. One of my funniest memories in that Nissan that had no 4+4 was one time I got stuck in the mud with a friend and his 200lb body got in front of the truck to help push me out when I was stuck. After I got free when he hopped in the truck I looked at him and he was full of mud from head to tow, lmaoooo. My hummer is my daily driver and as such I plan on making mods but dont plan on purposely crossing any canals or visiting Moab but little by little I plan on making additions that can perhaps be of great help in future floods or hurricane aftermath scenarios with occasional off-road excursions. From mall crawler to mall thrasher we go! Ps I used avatar from when you guys were modding nachos take to custom fit your own hummer, thanks.
