i have to laugh at you tex. As said by you we're bring a knife to a gun fight, but I simply see it differently. A slightly more accurate way to see it is you're shooting a slightly bigger revolver and we're shooting a slightly smaller semi auto. You see, they both have the target in their sights, but they do it a little differently. As far as taking "The hit", I agree with you that "Financially" it's the smartest move. However like anything used, it is a gamble. You do not know what the previous owner did to it. There and plus' and minus' to every side. Addressing the style and look of all the Hummers, everyone has their preferences. It's like art; no different. Now addressing the manufacturer. I really don't see your point in bringing it up. Does it matter that am general doesn't assemble the H2's in the original plant? I don't believe so, but then again, maybe you do. They're both just factories. They both use the same robots to build the trucks. (Yes ONLY the H1s and HMMWVs are hand assembled) As far as personal cuts, it's just getting stupid. Maybe it's because I referee professional ice hockey and I see grown men acting like 6 year old kids sometimes, that this conversation about "Trucks" that got personal instead of technical has stuck me so funny. Yes the H2 is very capable. Yes the H3 is very capable. Can the H2 do somethings an H3 can't? Yes of course. Can the H3 do somethings the H2 can't? Yes of course. Does everyone have fun in their HUMMER? If you don't go buy an Escalade!!!!!! Embrace the diversity. Broaden yourself and be better for it. Don't simply be narrow minded. It's much to easy.
