ok Trav. we need to have alittle talk. This has gone on just too far. It's time for an intervention. All your odd cars, ok, we'll give you the benefit of the doubt, just because your our friend and we like you. But this one is unexcusable. its a suburban that got hit by every branch of the ugly tree when it fell. Sloth from Goonies saw it and ran away screaming. Old ladies and little girls are running and crying yelling "Oh Dear God WHY?!?!?!" IF it was a dog we'd have to shave its butt and make it walk backwards. ok thats enough for now, but just know you have PLENTY more of these left, which will be dolled out when the situation is deemed appropriate.

Now go do 18 bloody marys and hit yourself in the head with a board like the monks on Monty Python and we'll just call it day.

I just hope that our little talk has helped, even in just the slightest way to help you deal with your newly found insanity, which we hope you can find some professional help for. We're all rooting for you here buddy.

I would have paid a little more and got the H1.

Nice looking ride.   

[Red Ram]

Congrats!    I'd prefer one with a brighter color.

I'm just wondering, Is is actually a GOOD CAR? or is it just an icon?

[mikepmcs]

Actually it's a great vehicle and you can push in the 14.5 mpg range if your nice to it(even though it's rated at less) It's a sweet luxury ride at an affordable cost if you get one a few years old.  I had an 03' and thought it was awesome.  I got rid of it for my 1ton for two reasons. The payments were in the high 5's and I was retiring(had to get back to reality) and I needed a better trailer hauler.  The concept is built loosely on a chevy truck, it shares with the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. The frame assembly is made up of 3 sections, the front uses a GM 3/4 ton frame, the mid-section is all new and is completely boxed, and the rear section uses a GM 1/2 ton upgraded for the 8000+GVW.

You can't find a nicer more stable(due to the wide a$$ track/footprint this monster has.)  Talk about an acoustic platform too, I left the killer bose system right in tact and tapped a line out converter and hooked up some alpine subs and here comes the boom.

I'm trying to get a  new job right now at the Togus VA.  If I land it, I will be getting another Hummer H2(a few years old for sure)  No sense paying the exorbitant amount for a new one when they are all basically the same from 03 with minor changes. 2008 being the biggest minor changes if that makes sense.(how's that for an oxymoron)  I've been tracking them on ebay now for about 2 weeks.
I used to get flipped off daily driving that thing around granola central(maine).  Funny thing is, I got better gas mileage in that than I do my dually and I have yet to see anyone get angry at me for driving that truck.. It's all perception.  The H2 is a very well kept secret IMHO.  Best SUV for the money(used) on the market today, period!!!

Enjoy it Travis, I know I sure miss mine. Yellow was my color of choice as well.

If you look in my avatar, you can see the beast with the trailer hooked to it .  I had just returned from a very long turnaround trip, to pick up my Charger, from Maine to Tennessee and back, only stopping for gas.   The H2 did very well for the weight I was hauling and I averaged over about 8mpg on the way back.


Pocket Thunder,
You wouldn't have paid a little more for an H1 by the way, you would have paid about 3+ times more depending on the model you chose.  I wouldn't mind an H1 either(if I won the lotto), but the H2 is more practical for everyday use. IMO.

Those aren't my kids BTW, i'm kidless, wifeless, and GF less. and whatta you know.... I spend less.

I'll let someone else print the obvious sexual innuendo here...

[Mike DC]

 
Okay, I'll be the one to say it - I think those things are poser SUVs. 


Nothing really wrong with H2s, but aren't they're basically Chevy Tahoes with trendy bodywork?

That is some funny sheit right there!


You can probably fit my wife's new 4WD ('09 CR-V) in the trunk right?

Trav, I'm not sure you fit the profile for that thing. I know a guy who had one just like it, same yellow, and he asked me what I thought. I had to be honest, regardless of how good they may or may not be they scream out "I am a dick" which may not be what you are going for.

I think certain vehicles get a rep....the Hummer say's I'm an ass^%#$ and I fart in your general direction. It is what it is. It would be real fun to drive though....blasting out Dennis Leary's song "I'm an asshole". I think they are pretty neat vehicles....just couldn't handle the personality baggage it brings.




P.S....don't go putting those bling bling wheels and short tires.

So Don, what are you drving?

Ok, you kinda made a point on that one but I maintain 3 times as much considering I can get an 03 model year in the teens.   Man, 7 years old and H1's still get the big dollars.  Unbelievable.   You get half credit.


I just started watching Family Guy myself not too long ago.  It's on 3 times in a row every night. 
I used to hate cartoons

More than a few people might make those same assumptions about you for driving a vintage Dodge Charger. Plenty of people still put a restored '68-72 musclecar in the same mental category as a Joe Dirt Edition 1979 Firebird in two-tone primer.

I have to admit I kinda dig the H2. I just did some graphics for one last week, and got a chance to see it up close. This one was completely tricked out, black with leather and chrome wheels. However, if I had unlimited coin and wanted to overcompensate, I'd buy one of these......an International CXT.  Suck my carbon footprint!

This is true.

My Dad has a hummer, the days I get to drive it are always good
Welcome to the club



*He doesnt know about the tilt-over experience I figures its fare though, my friend who helps on the charger and I are basically the caretakers for it*

p.s. Dont forget to wave at the h1 owners. When I wave at another h1 I always get a wave back or a horn beep. I tried on a couple of h2s though and they gave me a prissy snarl and looked the other way.

Not me, I'd build one of these!



But I'd have to fight off the chicks with a stick, I see.

No mention of the trade in?
