The H1s look good but are so big they are impractical.
A friend has a H3. He bought it used. He likes it but says he had to sink $4500 to rebuild the engine and other repairs shortly after buying it.

I really wish the h3 wasn’t the last vehicle hummer went out with .think they shared that giant 4 cylinder (or was it a 6?) with the trailblazer.
Id be curious to what they’d release today for a modern version of the h1.
Well we have the jeep gladiator so eh.

Trust me i did the research on these.timing chain has to be changed every 100,000miles .i dont mind doing that myself since i used to wrench alot a few years. Other than that the engines (m88/m90) are alright.
Suspension id just get some fancy coilovers and call it a day.

Is that a niva with leather seats ?
What the hell .. ?
Anyway, it's not sold here anymore, because of the CO2 taxes.
IIRC new price was 15 grand, CO2 tax was an additional 10, that killed it completely.
I think the jimny is also out this year for the same reason.

I get my new car, a Mercedes C 220D. It's the AMG version by the looks, its a Diesel with 194 PS. All kind of electronic gadgets, driving assistant systems, digital display. The manual is thick like a science book.

With the truth upon our side
And if we have to go alone
We'll go alone with pride

It is cheap vinyl that cracks at first sign of frost.
I am afraid that women appreciate cruelty, downright cruelty, more than anything else. They have wonderfully primitive instincts. We have emancipated them, but they remain slaves looking for their masters all the same. They love being dominated.

I was offered one a while back for 2k, fully serviced but declined due to lack of space and I have no desire to drive in Belarus at the moment. A neighbour of mine was also selling his 1977 Volga Gaz-24 with a V8 engine. It was fully serviced and in great nick. It was a taxi back in the day. To give you an idea what it looks like, this is a similar looking car of what was on offer.

Batka, you know full well that any self respecting communist dictator or their lackey propagandists such as yourself would not be caught dead in anything less than Chaika.
Or maybe they would?
