Hey, I still want a Park Avenue some day.

GM might finally be making some smart moves.
Maybe just a fluke.

A bigger piece of junk I can't think of.

I suppose you could put one in the front yard and use it as a planter. I've actually spent some time tooling around desert army bases in Humvees (military ones, not the tarted up and sissified "Hummers"). They are extremely capable in rocks and dirt, but pretty worthless (noisy, slow and ungainly) on the highway.

Basically, what davester said. They are not junk, they are great for what they were designed for.
There are also not that many H1s on the road, most of the ones that people see are H2s and that is a completely different vehicle.
incognegro,
With that Cummins, probably 8-10mpg. Pretty damn good considering your pushing at least 20K# plus that frontal area. Diesels are a whole different ball park than gassers.

The H1 was the only true Hummer. Actually based on the Humvee, if you needed an off-road vehicle, it was very capable.
The H2 and the H3, with their solid axles, ridiculous styling and stoopid
'drive this so you can intimidate' marketing campaign are nothing but
Suburbans dressed up like clowns.

Two of my parents neighbors have them.
One neighbors is the station wagon version, used to pull the boat in and out of the water,
twenty some foot fishing boat.
The other is driven by another neighbors 18 year old son, he got the pickup version.
His parents old boat:http://www.showmanagement.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=ybs.exhlistshowboat&bid=17908&cid=243959&boatlist=false
Their newer one is 103', IIRC.
And no, they don't pull the big boat with the Hummer, just referencing the fact that fuel costs are not an issue for this family.
Edited for clarity.
