Hummer H2 and '03 Corvette Convertable
 

I'm thinking about trading/selling my vehicles for one each of each of these. Trade '98 Dodge Caravan + '99 F150 4x4 + $25k for the Hummer and Trade '94 Miata + '99 Taurus + $35k for the Vette. (I would find them used with less than 10k miles).

My idea is to consolidate the cars go from 4 to 2, upgrade to newer '03's, have more fun vehicles, but not to lose any function. We need to tow the boat/jet boat/jetski, haul Sam's Club and Home Depot shopping, drive in the snow, commute to work, enjoy the summer topless, snob appeal.

What are your opinions and experiences with these two vehicles.

I drove a H2, some neat things on them, auto adjusting mirrors!

And the vette is a cop magnet, and everyone assumes you will be wreckless and speed (at least they assume that of me).

I can't imagine why ANYONE would want an H2. Basically its a Suburban with less room for more money. Whats the message you are trying to send here, " Gee, I wish I was an 18 year old solder". Do you where camo when you drive it? Or are you just insecure and need a vehicle that says "LOOK AT ME".:rolleyes:

EEK! Scorched the brother!!!!!!!

Wow Madcow, that is a little harsh. You obviously have not ever been in an H2 if you beleive it is a basically a Suburban. I drive an H2 not for any other reason than it is simply the best riding SUV on the market that can go anywhere. Do you own a Bayliner?, if not what kind of message are you trying to send!
Cobra Marty the H2 is a great vehicle. Even when people I know cant understand why I would buy an H2 they no longer question the purchase after a ride in one.

I'd love to have both of those vehicles sittin in tha drive!!!!!!!!

I wanna know ..........why in the hell do you have a Miata?:confused:

People call you Ken when you drive it?

Both would be great vehicles, but i would have to go with a HD truck and a Z06. My .02$

H2 'S ARE THE BEST RIDING SUV...........GOT AN '04 WOULDNT TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING!

OH YEAH SUBURBANS ARE FOR FAMILIES..WHAT DO I NEED THAT FOR I AINT GOT NO KIDS

Miata, It's the wife's, dah.

How can you say it rides better tan a 'burban, its a 3/4 ton sububan chassis?

SO YOUR SAYING THE H2 AND SUBURBAN ARE THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE BODY

cobra marty,

make sure you check the towing capacities before you make a decision. Your F150 has more ability than the H2. I looked at the H2 and liked it, I just wish it had more tow capacity.


Madcow,

Just out of curiosity what kind of auto do you drive? I promise not to bash it's abilities or stature when I find out.

That's what I was told by a Hummer rep at the Detroit auto show, and read in car and driver.
BTW A1a I drive a chevy avalance. Could have bought a caddy escalade, but didn't see the need to spend $20,000 more for the same car.

I called St. Farm Ins.

H2 + Corvette conv = $522/$682 for 6 months= $1215/6months or $2430/yr
other 4 cars $395+$354+$254=$379 = $1382/6months or $2764/yr.

I save $334/year!!

i know the type
 

Mad...wow you are pretty efficient with your bucks buying the Avalanche. Did you opt for the big motor or the little one. Those plush fabric seats feel nice in the winter. All that beautiful plastic covering the sides....very impressive.

You really showed em. Those Detroit boys couldn't't outsmart you!


I get the feeling your the type of diver that like's to go diving without bringing a speargun (look at all the pretty fish). Dive air instead of Nitrox...cause it's cheaper.

Us Hummer people are used to the jealousy.
