You are probably an idiot if…
You actually purchase a Hummer H2.
My brother and I were recently discussing the H2 after arguing the manliness of our Toyota’s not-so-great 0 to 60 times. Turns out his corolla will do 0 to 60 in 8-9 seconds (depending on who you ask), and my Prius is more like 10 seconds. Ok. He wins, though neither is a speed demon. But back to the H2:
First of all, don’t get me wrong, the original hummer is quite possibly the toughest go anywhere vehicle ever produced (at least at that size). I’m not sure it is something I’d recommend for cruising around town in, but it has its place. The H2 on the other hand is a GMC Yukon frame, with a new shell slapped on to give it the look and name of a Hummer. At a base price of ~$56k and a fuel economy of about 10MPG, I think you pretty much have to be an idiot to buy this car. In particular, the kind of idiot that buys a flashy car with the name Hummer on it, so you can say “look at me, I have money to burn, and I’m an idiot!”. There are a lot of them around LA, I might add. Dustin pointed me to this great video illustrating the awesome off-road performance of the H2:
