Default Front door Hummer

It's on!

My wife just called me to tell me that our front-door neighbor just bought a yellow Hummer. I asked, but she's not sure whether it's an H2 or H3. She was trying to hold back the laughter as she was telling me this!

I came home late last night and left too early this morning to see what was parked in his driveway, but apparently he bought it yesterday. I'm going to invite him on a few trails in the next few weeks and see if he's up for the challenge. I'll be sure to bring a few straps to pull him out when he gets stuck everywhere! Oh, and I'll bring a camera to document the whole thing!

This is great! I've heard of keeping up with the Jones', but this has gone too far. It's on!

Lovey? I need another martini and let's go out for a gaunt in the woods with those other people.... I smell yuppie next door.

Well If I were you take him on a easy trail like a dirt road and then tell him you didn't think the H2 or H3 could do more than that. Once he is insulted then tell him ok my bad let's go on a slightly better trail and WHAM!!! Rocks, Mud and all the good stuff to get him stuck. Once he's stuck then tell him see I told you so... Don't forge tthe final screw, How much did you pay for that thing? If you can go without the top that would hurt even more....

ah, nothing better than neighbor rivalry. I had a similar case when I had my mustang. I bought an 04' v6 then my neighbor a few months later got an 86' LX. At first I didn't think a thing about it until his loudmouth cousin came up to me while I was washing my car (keep in mind he was a 14 yr old kid who didn't know any better. He just wanted to share some info with me and even offered to help wash my car) and told me "my cousin thinks his mustang is the real mustang." Heres a visual for you all. Its white with rust on it, has an exhaust that he has to floor it in order to hear it and to top it off a "saleen" decal on the front mirror. And I'm supposedly the "fake" mustang. Oh well, the next winter he totalled it and got another one in green and put another exhaust on it.

As stated before I never knew there was a competition. I got sick of getting stuck in the snow so I go the JK. In pretty sure I'm winning now

That's funny, I don't have a neighbor but an ex-friend that wants to upgrade from his TJ Sport with a 33's + 4" lift to a TJ Rubicon with a 37's + 6" long arm kit, because of my beast. He makes me laugh because my income is about 60% less than his and he's jealous of me.

Well, it's an H2 and looks intimidating.

I guess he's been out of town since I haven't seen him, but I saw the H2 last night in his driveway. It's yellow and it's fully decked out - this must have set him back a few bucks. It actually looks very good for a Hummer. There's no chrome. All black trims with snorkel, safari rack, brush guard, side steps, off-road lights - everything's black. It looks really good on a yellow Hummer.

I'm going to enjoy destroying it on the trails! (Insert Dr. Evil laughter here.)
