Wooden Hummer Replica Inspired by the Happy Jack H2 Commercial on eBay

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

This goofy contraption inspired by the Happy Jack H2 Commercialis was built on 1991 S10 pickup chassis. I’d actually never seen the H2 ad that inspired this thing until now. Not a huge fan of the H2, but I’d say the ad makes good use of one of my favorite Who songs. See more pics of this wood Hummer on eBay. Via Jalopnik

Bye Bye H2

By Rob

Editor-in-Chief

GM is gonna let the H2 die. With gas approaching $4 per gallon, they haven’t exactly been selling too well. And, starting in 2011, the H2 will be subject to the new CAFE standards (it is currently exempt, due to its 8,600 pound gross weight). So, no more H2 after 2011. Honestly, I’ve never been a huge fan of the H2, but I know there are a lot of folks on CarDomain who love them. More on the H2’s demise at Jalopnik.

Will you be sad to see the H2 go?

Update: Jalopnik is now saying it’s gonna stick around until 2014.

The USA's Greenest and Meanest Cars

By John

Editor

The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy—whew, say that three times fast!—just released a list of the greenest and meanest cars in America, and on the green side, Toyota’s Prius came up a big, fat loser. Sorry. It actually came in second, behind Honda’s greener-than-Kermit-the-Frog-on-a-lilly pad Civic GX, which runs on compressed air. As expected, small cars and hybrids make up the remainder of the green list, and also as expected, the rides on the mean list look way, way more fun. The VW Tourage—with the CFC-belching diesel V10—took the top "honors," while dream machines like Bugatti’s Veyron and Lamborghini’s Murcielago came in at numbers two and six, respectively. Of course, neither one of those models probably sees 1/10 the annual miles a Ford Focus—number nine on the green list—does, so in reality, they probably pollute a lot less. But whatever, check out the full breakdown over at Wired.

Three-Axle "Nightclub on Wheels"

By Jen

Editor

I’m not a fan of SUV-based limos, though admittedly, they’re fun to laugh at when they get into embarrassing mishaps.  For the most part, though, they just kind of gross me out: they just seem so totally in-your-face wasteful. This one claims to be an entire nightclub on wheels, with disco floors and ceilings, great sound and trippy lighting throughout, and not one but two VIP lounges. It’s also purported to be the first triple-axle H2 in the UK, and the site renting it promises it’ll "make all other Hummer limos look like dwarfs." Ugh.

Blacked-out wheels or blacked-out interior? Land Rover or H2? For this week’s Face Off, we’ve got two tricked-out monster SUV’s on the block. Since only one of these hulks will come away with a super-huge set of low-pros from Discount Tire, be sure to get your votes in now!

Fergie's DUB Edition Hummer on eBay

By Rob

Editor-in-Chief

Apparently after performing at Live Earth, Fergie decided she needed to change her ways and help save the planet. So she’s selling her DUB Edition H2 on eBay, and all proceeds go to Global Green USA. I guess that means the new owner gets to drive a Hummer totally guilt free?
