Hummer Guy

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 [...]

When we were in South Bend, Indiana for The HUMMER Club’s event at AM General’s off-road driving academy, it had been raining for several days. That rain made the trails difficult and raised water levels in the area. You’ve seen the pictures, and now you can see video of that same crossing. Enjoy! P.S. At [...]

The Chinese regulator that economists and business experts expected to put the brakes on Tengzhong’s bid to buy HUMMER have essentially bowed out of the debate Thursday. The Chinese National Development and Reform Commission sent Tengzhong’s application back earlier this week for more details, a move which many in the media believed to be a [...]

We thought The HUMMER Club’s trip to Drummond Island in July was a wet, muddy adventure, but it wasn’t nearly as wet and muddy as the event held at HUMMER’s official off-road driving academy in South Bend, Indiana in August. Turnout was strong, with HUMMER H1s being the most common vehicles to attend. While this [...]

The details are sketchy at best, but we’re trying to keep you as up to date as possible. Yesterday Reuters reported that China’s Ministry of Commerce had returned Tengzhong’s application to purchase HUMMER from GM. Later yesterday, we learned that the application just needed clarification and the approval process was continuing. Today, Bloomberg is reporting [...]

We had a terrific response to our first “Ask Jim” segment, in which readers got to submit their questions to HUMMER’s CEO Jim Taylor. Jim was a little tied up with negotiations last week, but was able to respond to the queries this week. He addressed concerns about diesel models in the U.S., International sales, [...]

Earlier we published reports from Reuters claiming that Tengzhong’s bid to buy HUMMER was rejected by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOC) due to lack of detail. According to our sources in China, the deal was not “turned back” for rejection, but rather for clarification. Once the details are added, the deal will again be [...]

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOC), which giggles at the mere thought of a “Labor Day,” is reportedly hard at work this Monday and isn’t pleased with the plan for Tengzhong to purchase HUMMER from General Motors. Reuters is reporting that the MOC has already returned the application because it lacked the necessary detail for [...]

We just got word that the questions submitted to Jim Taylor, HUMMER’s CEO, may come as early as this week. The response we had was great – over 50 questions in a little over 24 hours. While Jim won’t be able to respond to each individually, he will address several of the most common questions [...]
