It's a looong drawn out story, but here goes...
My wife has been driving Suburbans now for 8
years. I was driving a 2500 ext. cab 4x4 Chevy.
One of my kids started driving his own truck, a 97 Disco thats been heavily modded (this will
come up again later) and the other two kids are
no longer in child seats.
The wife had had enouf of the "big" Suburbans
and wanted to go back to a BMW. (She had to
give up her 5 series wagon 8 years ago) So
she went to the X5. Nice SAV, but not alot of
room for road trips.
That left me to get a car for road trips,
vacations, etc. It had to seat at least 6, and
it had to be 4X4.(the reasons for 4X4 are to
come later)
The first things I considered were, Suburban,
Tahoe, Caddy Esc and the Ford versions of the
same. Seeing how I own my own business and have
been dealing with GM for ever, and buy about 15
chevy work trucks a year, my best deals were GM.
(not to mention that my father worked at a
Chevy dealership for 12 years)
I'm too young for a Caddy, (no....really!) and
due to my 4x4 needs, I would probobly have to
modify a Sub or Tahoe. Seeing how I would be
driving this truck daily, I didn't want a
heavily modded truck.
Now to my 4x4 "needs", I hunt alot,(need 4x4)
and I have to go to Virginia to pick up my
son from school alot. When his school has a
leave weekend, no matter the weather, I have
to drive to Virginia and pick him up. I have
had to drive through a couple of blizzards so
far, and my 2500 barely made it.
And the final 4x4 "need" is that when my son
does come home, the first thing he does is see
how stuck he can get his Disco. I being your
typical stupid parent, have let him keep on
modifying his truck to the point that he can
now actually take it HALF way to Hell and back.
(and I have to get it the other half)
.......but most important is.......
The H2 is sooooo KEWL!
