Filipino Hummer Owner in Qatar
By Peng_H3_I5 •
Hi Guys just want to know how many Filipinos here in Qatar own a HUMMER. Ive got one for two years now and since then I saw a lot of KABABAYAN driving it now. Maybe its a good time to have a group so that we can share/discuss any ups and downs using this truck.
Please indicate the Model/Year/Engine and location...thanks.
H3/2007/3.7 Doha
i have the first generation of H3 bought in 2006, in fact i was the first filipino to have this beautiful car, (check with Mr. Mohammad in GMC). It's a reliable car that you will enjoy every time you step on the accel, its not a race truck or whatever so don't expect to much on the speed. We decide to buy this car for my two children for their transport to Qatar Foundation School. Now its almost 68,000 kms now and my children finished their schooling and I want to sell it now to anyone who wants to own this well loved and beautiful car.God bless us all - peace.

I got a HUMMER from a Filipina. Then we rode my donky to the market and got some koobus.

...Hummers will then become a collector's item.
I hate to break this news to all you Hummer lovers, but GM has announced it will shut down production of HUMMERs in a phased fashion. This happened because the sale of the brand to the Chinese company didnt go through (The regulators in China didnt allow it).
What happens to the resale of this car now? Jeez!

May Desert Run ako sa March 05,2010 (FRIDAY Morning) mas marami mas masaya.... baka interesado kayo... Just PM me.. i will prvide you with the link for our forum...PENG just follow the link you will see the FOrum..
THANKS....
HUMMER THE BRAND IS NOT STILL SOLD TO CHINESE...THEY ARE PLANING TOOO BUT THEY DIDN'T ACCOMPLISHED THE MISSION ON THE BUYING OF HUMMER STILL...AS THE CHINESE COMPANY IS READY AND EVEN THE GM IS READY...BUT THE AGREEMENT IS NOT SIGNED BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT....THE LAST DATE WAS END OF JAN 2010 DUE DELAYS THE GM EXTENDED THE DATE...TO END OF FEB 2010....I HOPE THEY DON'T BUY
ANYWAYS IF THEY BUY IT WILL BE STRONGER AS ITS BROUGHT BY CHINESE HEAVY TRUCK COMPANY....AND THE IDEAS ARE STILL BY GM 20%
I JUST LOVE HUMMER......AND THOSE WHO DON'T..SHHH!!
On 1 February 2010 it was announced that Sichuan and General Motors had agreed to extend the deadline till the end of February as Sichuan tried to get approval by the Chinese government

Peng_H3_I5 NJOY THE RIDE AND THE POWER...!!
a filipino driver to take care of his life when on the road...not like when i stayed in saudi, for 9 years i encountered much worst driver than here in Qatar...
Our filipino driver, driving the hummer of my father inlaw
u are ansolutely right.. a basic hummer will cost you 4M in the Philippines, i found it our when i made an inquiry while i was there.. expensive huh!
so poor passion settled for a Mazda 3V instead...
~ LiFe is Unfair.. but it's still GooD ~
filipinos really love cars and if you could only check out wat we have back home youll be surprised, getting a fortuner/rav4/camry/nativa/kia sorento/hyundai santafe/starex in the phil is the same price as getting a new basic hummer here...
im back..........DONT POST HERE IF YOU DONT HAVE A HUMMER
peace out ........pampamlang mga yan pre..... just build a group and we will name it
pascual, i think it was sheep, cause they're big pimpin.
peng is not bragging or showing off that he has a hummer, he is just calling all those pinoys to form a club or to get together the same as those people who have the same interest or hobbies. you people here really doesn't have anything to do, why criticize?
we would like to inform you people that owning a car or hummer or any luxurious car is "not a big deal" to us, be it being "enslave" to car loans or paid by cash is nothing, WE FILIPINOS LOVE CARS!!!!!!!!!!! there are already couple of filipino car groups here in qatar which is BTW, active not just with showing off but active in charitable events..
so all you haters out there, stop...
( i said "not a big deal" means it's normal for pinoys to buy a car, you'll be surprise to what kind of cars we own and have in the philippines)
another thing, it's not just the hummers that we have a group, there are also some mazda group, honda lovers, and the likes,there are also photographers, paintball gamers, etc.so peng is not just happy that he owns a hummer and wants to start a group, but this how us filipinos spend time with same interest or hobbies...
so why you people need to criticize or comment when in fact, this thread doesn't call on you, it calls to filipinos who owns a hummer!!!!!
" I was born intelligent, but education ruined me..."
himu, are you saying asians cannot own any luxury car???where are you from?????we filipinos are already riding/owning cars long before when you were still riding a donkey
" I was born intelligent, but education ruined me..."
I have a 5Kg big hammer. Will your girlfriend meet me?
If thats not enough I can even get a sledge hammer.
Oh really? You have Hummer? After i told this to one of my girl-friend she wants to meet you so bad, lol
just think about thefollowing......................................................................... how many labors getting their salary correctly.
getting a hummer is not a big deal for me but a piece of KUBOOSE that is what am looking for.
if you are rich,whatever you speak is truth,if you are a poor your words are but lies.
Ok sandman69 mark this date and lets wait for that, maybe by that time im out of Qatar and have dispose of this rolling wreck, at least for now i feel safe inside this ugly, massive, iron box that always got stuck in the sand and rolls like a turtle...hope your not buying anything made in China...lol
Now that HUMMER is owned by the Chinese, we should see the prices and the quality drop significantly. There is no status in owning one of these rolling wrecks knowing that your money goes to a place where human rights are non existent and trademark infringement is a common practice. Wait till it breaks and try to get quality parts for your showpiece. You will be wishing you bought a KIA then.
your not so different from those people whos ego was hurt coz a poor asian guy can afford to get one, why did you not include the westerner in your list? so what if other people want to form a group and publish it here in QL? do you own this website? check out the internet for the growing number of groups/clubs out there, have you check the newspaper of how many times the hummer HUB Qatar went out for trips, picnic, adventure and offroad training?
members that you owned a Hummer H3.
May be we will see a new thread tomorrow from a Nepali/Bengali/Indian/Sri Lankan labour in QL wants to form a group who own couple of Lamborghini or RR.
I only have a hammer..
baby sitter like me who can't afford a Hummer ,all I can say is enjoy driving at Qatar Road.
@ modulus, FYI,i didn't come up with the term mate,just letting you know that there is such a term in use & the reason it's in use is because there are so many people in this town that fit that description...
you guys crack me up. everything from car loan slaves to someone pretending to have money slapping 22 doves on it.
He LOMBORJEEPNEY, Nothing to brack about keeping the ALTO. I'm keeping my HUNDAY ATOZ.

stop revealing your dark side and using Gods name, I hope that your family will not find somebody like you in the road. Beware for you guys using the road to Ras Laffan…someday you will come to your senses but don’t stop helping us if we get stuck…lolz
first or latest batch, they all the same… i’ve been riding 4 wheelers since i started driving in this country which was more than 8 years ago... i drive my wrangler on 2 wheels drive all the time everywhere even in seeline…i just use the 4 wheel gear when i help people who are stuck like ur type in seeline…so don’t talk about when/where and how to use it...im QHSE auditor in site plant in RLIC, outside of that im exactly the opposite person that’s why i don’t become i NERD hehehehe…exactly if you see any grey wrangler in the streets, move out of the way cuz if you don’t only God knows what will happen…the wrangler and the g35 i got are my dream cars and im very satisfied with my choices this time…im not digging more on this so have your freedom of choice and enjoy lolz
hi hi hi...maybe its me jack25, sometimes they confused me as one but most of the time they say i look like singaporean or korean...ha ha ha
hahahahahah...i saw also nepali who have new cruisers
i like walking in the fog cause no one knows i m smoking
gadarene apologies accepted...and ur right sometimes people are driven by their desire to buy something that might affect their tenure here in Qatar, hope that they have a back up plan, actually its not just for hummer but for all vehicles, your better off if you have a buy back plan or rent to own options.
even if i can afford, i wont still go for it. i dont see any fun driving hummer, feel like am driving a porta cabin :P
lol at LOBOT!
@ Peng,apologies for the tone of my post mate,my only point was this,i have BOTH Indian & Filipino friends who are & there's actually a term for it,"Car loan slaves",i.e they're stuck in this country because they chose to buy a car they could ill-afford & are now ready to leave but can't because they have to pay back the loan,their vehicles aren't worth as much as they have to pay back to the bank & i have no sympathy for them,it's a choice they made,so as long as you can pay back in time & aren't tied down in this country only by your car loan,you're fine...enjoy your ride!!!...
@ modulus,i'm sorry have we met? i'm pretty sure we haven't else you know i don't practice @ Dr.Sarah's,so you're wrong there Sherlock,there are a couple of Indian dentists @ Sarah's all of whom are very nice people & known to me but i ain't one of them,as for measuring up,i drive something that's actually manufactured in a factory in the US of A, UNLIKE the hummer which is actually manufactured in a plant somewhere in Latin America AND i paid FULL COLD HARD CASH when i bought my ride so i'm not tied down by ANYTHING here,the day i'm ready to leave,i pack my bags & do just that,THAT was the point of my post & yes you DEFINITELY will not be able to afford my ride mate,loan or otherwise so keep dreaming...
M.C Hummer?
My hammer is very heavy. No one must doubt it's ability!
I also have hammer in my country. I forgot to bring it here.
So dashwoot your lying when you said “i would never ever think of buying one” when in fact you bought one 3 years ago, which is which? You might be one of the unlucky guys who got the first batch of H3 and got fed of it, try the new Alpha. Now I know why are you crying coz you did not do your homework before you bought it, and what are you thinking racing a hummer, I’m not surprised if you always get stuck, you should know when/where/how to use it offroad, every car has a limit and disadvantage you should adopt to the situation and not the other way. Come to think of it that you’re a QHSE auditor, why your modifying your car in illegal way that endanger the people around you? That’s the type of driver that we want to avoid in the road right? Im happy with my dream crap hummer, landcruiser and XA hope that youll find your dream car soon before I finish my installment. Just give us our freedom of choice to enjoy it.
For those who are still planning to send their negative comments, do your own forum for “HUMMER HATER”, I just want to know the number of owners so that in the future we can exchange ideas and help each other.
I do agree on slowest 4x4 ever built. It feels like crawling on the road. It looks like the slowest track is only for Hummers. It does stuck off road. Thats guranteed. Friendly advice dont own one.
Peace
i had rode one(H3), and it seems bulky from the outside but cramped inside.... kinda turn-off.
I don’t need no research, i count on my personnel experience…i bought one 3 years ago i put 22 chromes on it, i used it for a few months and then i sold it, i lost around 20 k's in a 5 months time…it’s the slowest 4 wheeler ever…a 1.6 honda civic would play with it like nothing in race from 0 to the top speed which is nothing 180 km/h buff...it needs like 5 mins to get that, plus it’s a real ugly car without nice rims, after i put the rims it became really slow like a donkey…it would need 1 to 2 mins to get to a 100…in sea line it used get stuck every time i go there, it was a horrible experience, i was sooo happy after i got rid of it…now i got a 06 jeep wrangler with a big steal front and rear bumpers, a lift kit and a huge ass 11.5 inch in width wheels sticking out of all sides of the car which are illegal…if any car in the streets try to miss with me i don’t care i just hit it, cuz I know nothing is gonna happen to my car...no need to talk about offroading hehehe and a very fast 06 Infiniti G35. if you dont believe what im sayin just pm me and maybe we can meet up, i'll show you both...anyways it seems that it’s ur first time to buy a 100 k's car and you were dreaming all ur life to have anything called hummer…that’s why ur so happy now that you got a piece of crap called hummer that you wanna start a group lolz… what respect ur talking about... nowdays I see kids driving that crap…anyways good luck on finishing ur installments hehehehehehe
dashwoot next time think carefully and have a little research, even try to drive or rent a hummer before you reply, your comments only shows your hate with hummers, not a constructive criticism, thanks to GM they made an affordable model for us dreamers….hehehe
"/-a-t-/ Peng,no need to hurry to find them,they'll probably be here the rest of their working life paying off the car loan they took out to buy that hummer anyways..."
gadarene im paying 1900 a month, the same amount as renting a small car but i feel safer inside, nobody is signalling me to get out of their way, im not worried entering a roundabout or intersection for some crazy drivers, the fun of using it offroad/sand dunes and most of all my children loves it, btw it will be finish in 3 years time unlucky me my indian and filipino Q buddies got it cash...
Full option with spoiler and 22" alloy wheels:-)
"katas ng qatar"
and wondering if some ever finished their installments.
is it really worth forming a group of people owning hummers..
i think its like any other 4 wheel drive except that its a bit of a waste of space, material and fuel..
jeepney....
"katas ng qatar"
many filipinos have hammers in qatar....and i am one of those who owned..i bought my hammer last week beside our accomodation in industrial area...very nice and new...i always bring my hammer going to work because my foreman has shouted me without my hammer....
I totally agree! My neighbour has one and I have to look at it on a daily basis!

H3 is the worst 4x4 ever...its one of the cheapest in the market...i would never ever think of buying one…it’s a 5 cylinders car…it would get stuck any where off road…it’s a cheap 4x4 not a truck… GM introduced it to the market so poor people who cant afford to buy a real Hummer like the H2 or the legendary H1 can buy it and fool themselves that they are ridding a Hummer….hehehe
Puthangana - is dis wat i tihnk it is biju?

Bro as long as you can afford it, got a good deal and your happy... then enjoy life...obviously we can not bring it home (philippines) so if you have chance here why not try it you can sell it easily.
Cheapper for you yes we can only afford H3 remote controll
To much expensive, its true lots of filipino cant afford it
H3/2008/3.7 - Baguio
But i won't be available for meet ups,
gadarene is right!!
I'm pretty sure they don't fit a poor indian dentists like gadarenes salary. Don't tell me you own Dr. Sarah's dental clinic. Not all filipinos fit the can't afford category, and if you look sufficiently into the future, you still won't measure up.
Some are drivers and some are mechanics...

Yes i think its getting cheapper now and competition with other 4x4 is getting interesting...
everybodys opinion is most welcome, just need the numers for now and may be we can have a big group...HUB member..
