I voted, "Like nothing else." I spent 25 years in the service. During many of those years, I found myself behind the wheel of a HMMWV. It's a great vehicle, but in the PI or places like Korea where the roads are narrow, it can be scary without someone riding shotgun. My favorite vehicle was the M1009 CUC-V, a vehicle I had assigned to me during my last tour in Korea. For me, the H2 is the perfect blend of both -- and a whole lot more comfortable than either one of them, something that becomes important when you get a little older.

I do not see the "To run over the smaller cars" catagory...So I'll go with "Like nothing else that I can buy without losing it in the parking lot of the mall in the sea of cloned suvs"

I don’t really know which button to push. I bought mine because it is just so F*CKIN’ cool. Girls I date LOVE it, my friends want to ride in it/drive it, socialist sh*t heads HATE it, tiny cars fear it, and… I can finally see over the guard railing on the roadside when I drive to the mountains.

"Like nothing else" that's a very true statement. I didn't want a cookie cutter SUV, escalades are starting to look like Tahoes to me and I'm a Die Hard GM man. So I went with what I believe i the top of the line SUV on the planet. I like the H1 but I love the H2 and there is not another SUV made in any price range that I would trade my H2 for.

Below is a link to a video that displays part of the reason I have an H2. I was at the farm and my Dad said he heard some coyotes on the place. It was wet and cool and I had no desire to take my 4 wheeler to go hunt them. I put my rifle in my H2, turn on the heated seats and looked for them. I turn the camera on in case I did run into some coyotes or other animals. I chopped this vid down but it is still a large file since it was shot at night I kept the resolution high. It does stream though.

Like nothing else; although more and more are showing up everyday, a good thing, strength in numbers. There was a time when for some of us we could say we were "The few, The proud, The Mar... no wait that's for another conversation. Anyway got to agree with "HummerNCO" and Ken you summed it nicely.

Population control of animals is a requirement for landowners. It's kinda hard to spaid and neuter wild animals and predatory animals have to be kept in control just like any other species of animal. It is what allows the habitat to stay balanced and for the survivors to live healthily.

Yeah… besides those damn coyotes wake my tired ass up at night when I’m sleepin’ up at Tahoe and trying’ to get away from the noise in LA. Oh, and those sons-O-bitches eat pet cats. Yeah, yeah, yeah… I’m a cat person, I admire the stealth hunter and I like pussies.

Paragon, it looks like some of that land has been forested in the last 8-10 years. I really liked the Coke bottle clank at the 7:49 mark going through the ditch. I know it wasn't beer.
You don't care much about the paint, do you?

We manage the land for pine timber as well as the animals, so yeah it's in different stages of growth. Not enough mature growth right now though.
I don't think I have any scratches. We do need to trim back some branches in places.
