2007 Hummer H3 Vs. 91 Honda Accord [WRECK]

[Jeremy]

The reason for this post is to show my respect to the maker of my brush guard (Predator Inc.) for keeping me and my GF unscratched from this accident. My truck took some minor damage on the front driver side but compared to the other guy's car I was pretty impressed. The H3's weakness is its front crash test so I slapped this steel brush guard on a few months ago and it did its job. The driver of the Honda is fine as I hit his passenger side and he had no company with him.

Cause: The Honda switched into my lane without seeing me and this was the result, so be careful out there guys.

Damage: Grille is cracked and brackets broke off. The blinker light on the front side is loose and is pushed in. The side blinker is cracked as the plastic cover absorbed most of the damage. The brush guard is crooked and hopefully easily fixed. The hood does not align with the grille or drive side fender. Headlight cracked.

Not sure what kind of response I'm looking to get out of you guys but I thought as an H3 owner you would like to see some photos of the wreck and how it held up.

The HUMMER was strong! The Police and tow truck driver (for the Honda obviously) were impressed and kept complimenting its durability.

Anybody had any wrecks in their Hummers lately or any photos to share?
I attached photos of the Honda at the scene and my H3's damage.

Glad you're Ok!
I had a similar accident with my 06. Was merging off the highway into the service lane and the guy in the service lane ran a Stop sign, saw him in the last second and swerved away, enuf for him to not to go into my passenger door but he did hit my front fender (which is very flexible apparently and had no damage) and clipped my OEM bush guard. His damage was very similar to the Honda above, but my bush guard was really damaged!

Had a couple of accidents in my first H2. No damage to me. Destroyed a Honda and tore up a BMW pretty bad. They hit me both times.

This brings up a question I had last week. Some dumbass in a small car almost hit me, whipped into the turning lane where I already was and I had to slam the brakes to keep from taking him out. Came within inches (from the drivers seat I have no idea how we didn't at least touch), and scared the crap out of my wife. No accident, but it made me wonder the same thing I now wonder about the wrecks you guys describe. How is it possible for someone in a small car to not see a Hummer? It's not like we are riding motorcycles or driving Miatas.

Glad everyone is ok.

I know exactly what you mean man. I have never been in so many close calls with any other vehicle. I'm not an aggressive driver either, I always stay in the "slow lane" with my cruise control on but I feel like everybody in their small cars just don't look at their surroundings and I've had to slam on my brakes so many times.

 

[SuperBuickGuy]

How did you miss the big, red Hummer in your lane? yeah, I've said those words too.

strangely, I've had less trouble in my black H3 - I think it's because most people think it's a cop car (they have unmarked, random cars - but every one of them has its windows blacked out)

Still, why so many cops? were you hauling donuts?

despite my sarcastic comment above... I think this is it. They think they have room - I don't know how many times I've had people brake check me thinking that I'm really close when I'm so far behind that I don't generally even have to lift off the gas pedal... so my theory is they think the vehicle is bigger, thus further away when they pull their move... or they're idiots (or both)

that's the same grill guard I want to get. good to know it holds up.

also, 6/10 damage to the honda. not bad, especially considering he hit you. (I'm rating damage to other cars from hummers these days)

 

[Jeremy]

Haha no I didn't have donuts but there was a ton of cops. I just think they had nothing better to do.

 

[Jeremy]

I got lucky with this brush guard, I was in Nashville working and I randomly went on Craigslist and some guy sold it to me for $250

 

[08H3]

So far I've totaled an Envoy and mangled a Subaru with the H3, but in both cases, I was rear ened. No damage to the Hummer in either case.

 

[High Five H2]

man, that's a good deal. i should check c list more often.

 

[whiteflamingo]

that's the same brush guard I have. I think. Good to know it's as sturdy as it feels.

 

[alrock]

Check out your H3 carefully. Make sure the fender didn't get pushed into the door, check for any damage under the grill, under the hood, along the fender lines, etc. You're probably okay but you don't want to walk away with undiscovered damage.

Yea thats the same brushguard. On a side note i love your t![emoji106]

 

[whiteflamingo]

Thanks man. I'm missing it pretty bad right now

 

[Pappibri]

Glad you and your girlfriend are ok. Some idiot rear ended me last night. He was driving a pickup truck and ran into my spare tire while I was at a stop sign. Then he fled. It was nighttime so I only got a halfway decent look at his truck....

 

[RFG]

I drove tractor trailer a lot of years. Every accident was a 4 wheeler didn't see me. Lol. 70' 80,000# and you didn't see me. Luckily no one crossed my path when I was running upwards of 200,000# with heavy equipment. That never ends well

 

[rascole]

tis the season to cut off Hummers I guess. Mine was hit 3 weeks ago. Just dropped it off at the body shop and Geico cut a check for $3800. Damage was very minor but parts are $$$$$. Grill alone is $750 and head light is $225 and bumper is $600. At least that is what they said.

 

[derian06]

I found out that the brakes still work well with 37's guy slammed on the brakes infront of me and I skidded a good 10feet before I finally stopped. Going about 45mph.
