I think they stopped making the bikes too. Most of them were POS but I think the frames looked pretty cool, you know in a wal-mart sort of way. I would buy a ford f-150 bike.

I'm still gonna yell "sorry about your penis!" every time I see one though.

like Conan said "there's only so many a$$holes in America and they all already have a Hummer" Wish I could say I'm sorry to see them go...

According to the piece I heard on public radio this AM, production was outsourced to a non-GM plant in Indiana, so I'm guessing nothing.

So, like so much of the news lately, the good news of Hummer's demise has a dark lining in that local jobs will disappear. We need to find a way to get those people working building something sustainable, useful and beautiful.

Agreed.

A hummer (because I can't identify people as driving vehicles, just machines moving around) let me pass through a four way stop first yesterday so I had to give it a courtesy wave, but I didn't like doing it.

I would love a bike made out of recycled Hummer. For the symbolic value.

Rest in Pieces... mwahahaha (since that's what happens to you if you get hit by one, it's only fitting they should have the same fate).

Good riddance to bad rubbish, as they say.

Hated the Hummer in all its incarnations, but cannot help but feel bad for the 1000+ people who are now out of work. Another thousand or so people with families to feed and kids to school. Those jobs are never going to be replaced, so i really cannot celebrate the demise of the brand. Another factory closed...

I've never understood all the ire that's been directed at the Hummer since its inception. Granted it stands head and shoulders above most other displays of nuveaux riche affluence, but in terms of threat posed to cyclists I don't see how it is an exception to all the other vehicles piloted by knuckle dragging cretins each day.
