My extreme weather experience...

[HMSH2]

Last weekend, I was in the Sierra Nevada mountains between Grass Valley/Nevada City, Truckee, Tahoe, Mt. Rose, and Reno and encountered every type of weather you can imagine. From winds in excess of 100mph, to blizzard-like conditions, to down pours of rain, to black ice covering the road ways, the H2 handled it all with ease. At one point in Reno, the truck was literally swaying back and forth due to the force of the winds. While traversing mountain roads in and around the area, the H2 pulled everything effortlessly and when going by chain controls, the workers stopped, stared, and then waved and laughed as I went by. At one point, I got off I80 and found a side road with about 30" of fresh powder and I proceeded to fly down this road at over 50 mph while snow was being projected up and over the top of the vehicle. Great fun! If only I had had the digital camera with me and got some pics. All in all, this beast of a vehicle handled everything with ease and my 5'2", 100lb. fiancee even finds it nimble, easy to drive, and in her words... very safe and solid to ride in. Normally, these types of conditions would have produced sweating, cussing, and threats to slow down or pull over and let me out, but even she was commenting on how safe and easy everything seemed.

By the way, my 81 year old grandmother loves it and demanded we take her out to dinner in it this past Saturday night.

What a great vehicle that produced awesome experiences!
