Hummer Guy

Every year residents in Gary, Indiana hold a “Back to School” parade to support education efforts in the area. This year the parade had over 100 entrants, and included members the Illiana HUMMER Club. Following the city’s police and fire departments, 10 club members with HUMMERs of all types rumbled through Gary’s downtown to the [...]

Growing up in Northern Indiana in the small town where HUMVEEs are manufactured, it was always fascinating to see the paint schemes change with the global political climate. During the First Gulf War the plant’s holding areas went from a sea of green to a desert of sand-colored vehicles. Now, amid calls for a troop [...]

We were only able to make it to day one during the HUMMER Club’s two-day event in the Michiana area (just combine Michigan and Indiana – seriously – that what they call it), but we were able to track down some pictures of day two at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Enjoy!

While police in Portland search for a HUMMER vandal, lawyers in California are fighting for one’s release. The name William Cottrell came up during the coverage of a Portland HUMMER dealership that saw 15 vehicles damaged by harsh chemicals last weekend (photos). In 2003, Cottrell was convicted for his part in the arson of a [...]

You may be saying to yourself, “I thought AM General was going to produce taxi cabs?” Well, this is the evolution of the Standard Taxi called the MV-1, and it’s going to be built soon at the H2 plant in Mishawaka, Indiana. The crew at VPG autos realized that if they just changed the color [...]

As car sales in Russia plummet 50%, the HUMMER brand is doing something remarkable: Doubling their sales numbers when every other automaker is down double digits. NPR had a story this morning about the trend and what may be behind it. They interviewed one of the founders of the Russian HUMMER Club, and he said [...]

The FBI has joined the investigation to find those responsible for vandalizing 15 HUMMERs over the weekend at a Portland, Oregon dealership. Given the circumstances , it is expected that this was done by an eco-terrorist, who thinks dispersing powerful acid in public areas isn’t nearly as offensive as driving a HUMMER. Smart, eh? The [...]

On Tuesday, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Commerce said the agency had not yet received an application from Tengzhong to purchase HUMMER from GM. According to Reuters, Tengzhong has submitted the application to other government agencies, but not to Commerce. Last week the application was reviewed by the National Development and Reform Commission, which [...]

We haven’t tweaked the design of HUMMERguy.net very much since it first debuted over four years ago, but with the site’s audience continually growing, we figured it was time for an upgrade. The new website will allow visitors to better navigate news, photos, videos, as well as featured content like the “Ask Jim” section where [...]

We don’t enjoy these sorts of stories, but if spreading the word can help put the vandals behind bars (or at least on probation), we’re all for it. Vandals in Portland, Oregon targeted a HUMMER dealership this last weekend with what appears to be harsh chemicals. As the pictures portray, the chemicals wreaked havoc on [...]

If there’s one group that HUMMER could use on its side right now is the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MoC) – the regulatory committee that deals with all inter-state trade issues, including the approval process for China’s Tengzhong to purchase HUMMER from GM. Last week, President Obama imposed new tariffs on Chinese-made tires, angering the [...]
