So, short bit of info here, 5 yr bankruptcy + wifes fathers Mesothilioma lawsuit= bankruptcy paid off and no credit, so to build credit again we needed to finance something.

Wifes choice, since it was her money really, i told her get what you want to drive.

She has always been a truck person, she is 10 yrs older and had a 66 Charger, a 56 Desoto, a 70 Cutlass and a lifted GMC truck in the mid 70's she used to cruise with a club on Pismo beach.

She chose a Hummer H2. First time i ever looked at one of these the other day.

I always thought they were dressed up Tahoe's or Yukon's, i was wrong. GM just bought the name from AM General in 98, but AM General still made them right next to the military truck plant.

Serious friggen go anywhere trucks, 8,000 lbs of steel there, and comfy too, i was suprised at the way it drives, heated leather seats, ahhhhhhhh

Its a 2003 H2, 97,000 miles, really clean, carfax says it was a Arizona car for 3 yrs and then it went to auction and came to washington.

6.0 liter, terrible milage, its got a 33 gallon tank, but i bought a Predator Sport programer, i drove 60 freeway miles, at 65mph, got 7 mpg, i literally watched the fuel gauge move to the left.

Put the programmer on it and reprogrammed the computer, filled it up again, drove the same route home, and got 17 MPG, got more power out of it too i think. Wonder if i can put a hemi in it .
