Putting Rod Hall in the same category as most septuagenarians is like putting Paul Newman is the same category as most octogenarians.
There are outliers in any population. These guys are two of them, Paul Newman covers multiple categories. An actor with other talent/skill. A very good actor at that.

@VeeArrrSix: Dude, H3's are sweet. With a proper set of tires and a light lift they'll hang with H1's and Wranglers all day. Ask me how I know. #hummerh3
I never see H3's out in the dirt. Most real off-roader dudes are put off by the faux "tough guy" styling and that horrendous Inline 5. Now they throw the V8 and dual locking diffs at us just in time for Hummer's death rattle. That's what I meant by "too little too late"... which is typical for GM. Maybe my statement was more of a shot at them than an accurate comment on the H3.
Contextually you are correct in that it may play well in the dirt with some decent mods, but I just can't stand seeing them ferry people to work on the 405 here in SoCal.
And only Lifeguard Jeeps should be that Yellow color that I see so many Hummer's rocking... #hummerh3
@rligeti: I've done it, went off-roading with a stock H3 Alpha, rock crawling, mudding, etc and it held it's own all weekend. The addition of front lockers makes a huge difference. #hummerh3

H3 aren't as crap as I thought. Stock class has to be tough... I wonder how it compared to "Olly" the '72 Ford Bronco?

He did die, yes, but he was in his 80's when he did so, which was recently.
Even dead, he's a better driver than many people, not just octogenarians.

The title, alone, is worth ♥.
"Directed by Michael Bay" was a nice addition.

I thought Hummer was unloaded on the Chinese....
These must be file photos, then, or else it'd look like this.
