I found this on another forum

Heres what happened: This chick took her mom and kids out for a ride at 3AM and saw construction and dirt and so forth around the campus. She thought to herself "hey, this is an H2, i saw it in a commercial and it could do anything. Its an all terrain vehicle, right?"

She then procedes to drive around campus for a while and then broke through the cable barrier (took 2 tries) that prevents idiots from running into the schools brand new samaritan statue. she then hit a 1' dirt curb at about 40mph, and then right into the statues cement base. Needless to say, the curb and cement were victorious.

When asked why she did it, she repiled "I wanted to jump the statue, i saw it on tv"

She wasnt drunk or under any kind of influence and yes, the kids were inside when it happened. This is all very true.

Eh, how ironic it broke down after some "off-road" action. Further proff SUVs are pointless pieces of crap.
 
It's kind of scary that there are people in this world that have the "business sense" to earn enough money that they can afford to buy an H2, but don't possess the common sense not to try to be Evel Knievel in it.

Maybe her hubby bought her the car, and he's the smart one. She had better be hot-looking. It would be a crying shame to be that stupid, and ugly too.

Actually, it's rather interesting - the last Hummer could go over an 18" straight vertical ledge without problems. I guess what it really proves is that this Hummer really is that much less capable...

By the way, that Hummer was less than thirty days old when the accident took place - ouch!

The original Hummer was a military vehicle "adapted" for everyday use, the H2 is just a blinged out Tahoe.
 
Hah, what a mo-ron. Even in a H1 it would have had the same effect, just lesser damage. Nothing would have taken a concrete wall that high at 40mph.
I think that the lady is in the 3rd from the top pic, inbetween her crappy GM creation and a very goofy golf cart.

Ohh, and about people ignoring construction barriers, a couple on a motorcycle here in STL decided to take a ride on the still in progress "Page Extension". So from what I gather, they were riding along just fine till they came up to a bridge, over Creve Coure lake, but it might have been the one over the Missouri river. Either way, they didn't see the missing parts of road, crashed, and were found 2 days later by a construction worker, dead.

Those barriers are there for a reason people!

You should probabaly edit that to Some women... Sheesh...You'd think some guys would have learned by now :rolleyes: Money and Beauty mean the same thing when it comes to driving skills.

There are a few of us that can drive. 👍

That 's good enogh to deserve 4 :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Something about trailer hitches and removing chrome comes to mind. Golf balls and garden houses, too. :eek::eek:

Perhaps my favorite line is "could suck start a Harley through the exhaust pipe" :D
 
Anyone dare to go to the car dealer for more information:

2131 Convention Center Way
Ontario, CA 91764
Phone (909) 390- 2900

Look for Mark Christopher....
 
Haha, what a ****ing idiot. No one takes a frigging curb head on at that speed.
 
Out of all the accidents I've been in, with the exception of the one that just occurred on Saturday, all have been the fault of the other (male) driver. So shut it about women drivers.

And as an aside to Gil, if her husband gave the the H2, he's disqualified himself as the "smart one" as well. So we're back to your original fears.

If you look underneath any SUV you can see how much ground clearance it has. The H2 has no more ground clearance than any other SUV, and in real off road conditions is probably less capable than a Jeep or a 4Runner due to it's ponderous bulk and excessive weight. It's a status symbol. It shows your part of the club.

I have a Jeep and take it off road. You just have to remember you're not driving a tank and you still have limitations. I also never take it out to "test" it. It's my vehicle and if it fails the test I'm out trasportation. I only use it to get to campsites in the mountains or desert that a car can't get to and I'm not willing to walk to. I have seen cars attempt to drive on some forest roads (and off road) and the results are hillarious, especially in the snow. I also see plenty of stupid SUV drivers who thought they were invincible and got stuck.

So SUV's are not pointless peices of crap. The people who must drive the biggest thing they can buy just because they think it's cool, and will never even drive it off pavement are pointless peices of crap.
 
I'm touchy about the subject of women drivers, since it is such a patently mysoginistic - not to mention wrong stereotype. I'd rather ride near 10 women drivers than 1 60-year-old man from New Jersey with a cigar and a Lincoln Town Car.
 
You should see my grandfather's uncle Frank Delutri. He remembers Al Capone. He's at least 95, smokes cigars, and drives an old Lincoln Continental. He has statuettes of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus on his dash, too. And he wears garters.

His is gray, but just as immaculate:

Book 'em, Dano! Murder One. Two counts.

Actually, he is probably fine because he's so careful of his baby that he drives very dilligently, if he drives at all. It's the noveau riche NJers who haven't gone to the Florida place for the winter yet and who are coming across to Delaware to do a little tax-free bargain shopping that act like they not only own the road but that they are the only vehicles on it.

That is too funny. lol

I agree with neon. Female drivers like every group of drivers has its share of incredible stupid drivers, but that is no ground to group them all as bad. In fact most of my friends are females and i am only afraid to sit in two people cars. One just because she is a beginner and is still incredible slow and indecisive, and the other is my mom (because she drives like a crazy woman and scares the **** out of me, oh and by the way she doesn't think she drives bad). I think the lesson we all can learn from the story in the first post is that stupid people try stupid things, and that we as smarter individuals must make sure that they do not do stupid and dangerous things in our presence...

In the northeast, people don't private-buy Town Cars for fear of being labeled a member of the livery (is that something you can join? Like the clergy?). I always wondered why Lincoln kept selling the Town Car, then I spent time in New York.
