The Hummer H3 is a tough SUV that can drive off-road really well. It is smaller than other Hummers and was made for people who want a strong vehicle but not too big.
Spontaneous combustion means a fire starts on its own without someone lighting it. In cars, this can happen if something inside gets too hot or breaks.
Frame damage means the main structure of the car is bent or broken, which can make the car unsafe to drive.

The John Clay Wolf Show has appeared on Terrestrial Radio for a really, really, really long time.
So we dug into our pockets and on the other side of our d-
We found something funny.
And yes, it's contagious.
Gather round as the Wolf Pack goes on this throwback adventure.
What it do?
It's me, DJ Pre-K with the John Clay Wolf Show it's Flashback Friday and I got a fire clip
for y'all.
You know, we deal with a lot of crazy cars and all sorts of conditions.
But today's clip, we got a Hummer H3 that was bringing the heat before we could even bring
it in.
And our man in the mix, Uncle Roy, got the lowdown so let's see what happened.
Hey, I just found out that we had a car blow up.
I need Uncle Roy to call up.
Or we need to call Uncle Roy.
Burn to the ground.
Where?
I don't know.
What happened?
I don't know.
I don't know.
You had a car blow up.
You don't know where it was.
We had a Hummer like spontaneously combust.
Mmm, that sounds like Jesus.
You know, hey, these Hummers are weird, dude.
I had one, if you remember a year ago, we had a driver drive one through the wall at
the auction.
I saw the video.
And it hit Alexis, bounced off that, went through a guardrail over an embankment off
a cliff.
That was a H2, H1, H1 Hummer, H3, I'm sorry, the little one, Hummer.
And then we had a Hummer like completely.
Boosh.
Yeah.
It just exploded.
They just sent me pictures of it.
I need to put it on the Facebook page.
Nobody got hurt.
Facebook page, Junkley Wolf Show.
Okay, good.
I don't know.
I don't know if anybody got hurt or not.
It's crazy.
Roy calling and tells us what happened.
Roy!
Roy!
Roy!
Roy!
Roy!
Good morning.
Good morning.
Uncle Roy is here with us, everybody.
Let's welcome Uncle Roy.
Uncle Roy has been with us for years and years and years.
So tell me, I got a text this morning that I had a Hummer blow up.
Yeah, you did.
What happened?
Why?
How?
Why?
I really don't know.
We ran it from the frame shop, taking it back off the Metro.
We sent it to get an inspector because they said it had frame damage.
Yes.
Yes, it had an inspector.
We were taking it back.
And my driver called and said, when is this thing smoking?
I said, what's wrong with it?
Then another driver called and said, it's on fire.
Then another driver called me, it just blew up.
All right, you know, then that folks driver sent me on a video.
Well, you sent me the video.
Nobody's saying nothing about the driver, you know.
I think the driver sent it because, you know, he's got a soul.
Can you turn him up or get in the phone more, Roy?
Huh?
Get in the phone a little bit more.
Yeah, we want to hear your good and loud and clear.
So the driver, who's the driver?
Can't get right.
Can't get right.
That's his name.
Yep.
Can't get right.
The man's name is cannot get right.
Yep.
And what is his age?
Well, his name is really Charles, but when he first started here, he couldn't get nothing
right.
Everything he did was wrong, so we just named him.
So he burned, why did the hummer burn?
Is it fixable?
No, it burned down to the ground.
Oh, damn.
I thought, you know, just a little smoke, a little bar, they put it out for him.
Yeah, after it's all put out, they sent me a picture.
It burned to the ground.
Wow.
So did can't get right?
Did he get out?
Yeah, he got out.
He got out.
When he come in here, he didn't stop, so I'm afraid he had to go home.
Does he have any injuries?
No injuries.
Where was all this?
Was it on private property or public?
Public.
Uh, farmer's branch right down 35.
Did, um, okay.
Huh.
Wow.
So is the car totaled or can we fix it?
No, we ain't doing no fixing there.
So what more time?
How did this go down the first driver said what?
I see smoke coming from the home.
It's on fire.
It just blew up.
All right.
Yeah.
I said, what about can't get right?
I don't know.
We don't see it.
Wow.
I said, well, y'all need to go back there and make sure he get out though.
Y'all know these flow.
You remember the Hummer H3 we had last year that drove through the wall at the auction
and then off the, what are these things cursed?
Are they cursed?
Yeah.
That's different drive way.
He was in the boss and we had another H3 that the training just went out on.
And I don't mean Bruce Jenner doggy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We don't need no more three.
Okay.
Roy just made a corporate decision.
Hummer H3s are on the no buy list.
We don't need no three unless they're under 70s, unless they're under 80,000 miles.
The Miley ones are blowing up like it, like a, like a high maintenance woman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no.
They don't like them old women.
They ain't no market for them.
Send me, send me, send me a video.
I want to put it on the Facebook page so the listeners can see it.
Okay.
Thanks Roy.
800-800-7234.
Like a red-handed girl on St. Patrick's Day.
So.
All of them.
Market for them.
That's terrible.
What a sexist comment.
You know, we had that happen one time a buddy of mine and I had long story short.
His Cadillac caught on fire.
We used to have to drive 30 miles away to Munster where I come from to buy beer.
Long story short.
And we had to put that car out with three cases of beer that we had bought.
Did you know that?
Natural light, natural light beer.
Yeah.
Wow.
I see you letting the car burn.
My friend cried.

About this episode
A hilarious throwback clip from The John Clay Wolfe Show dives into the bizarre story of a Hummer H3 that spontaneously combusted on a public road. Uncle Roy shares the chaotic details, including multiple driver calls about smoke and fire, the vehicle burning to the ground, and the lucky escape of the driver nicknamed 'Can't Get Right.' The hosts reminisce about other wild Hummer incidents and debate whether these vehicles are cursed or just high maintenance. The episode blends humor, storytelling, and insider anecdotes about dealing with problematic cars.
We didn't start the fire, but today's Flashback Friday clip is hot to the touch! After having trouble with Hummer H3's in the past, John get the news that the gas guzzling gift just keeps on giving. We don't know who's at fault for the burnt up baby Hummer, so John calls our man in the field, Uncle Roy, to get the low down on what happened. With a driver named "Cant Get Right" behind the wheel I could take a guess, but I'll let them tell it!
