one thing I hate about having a hummer

  

Greenblade -> one thing I hate about having a hummer (4/15/2008 6:57:35 AM)

EVERYTHING is available for it aftermarket.

Want style?  There can't be less than 6 versions of ANYTHING you want to put chrome on your truck.  I bet somebody even offers a full-body chrome dipping service.  [:D][:D]  Interior style?  More stuff available for customizing the truck than every other vehicle i've ever owned combined, probably.

Want performance?  What kind?  Offroad?  Several lift kits, solid axle swaps, lockers, TCS mods (local sport shop will hack the TCS & let you run it with a PC), underbody armor, blah blah blah.  Onroad?  Superchargers with warranties, turbos, lowering kits, suspension kits, blah blah blah.

So I love it.  But I hate it too, because its given me the customization bug, and now when I get another vehicle I get frustrated because I'm lucky to find ONE thing thats what I want (like a billet chrome door handle, for example, which all cars should have IMO) much less a variety of choices.

The only way you stop modifiying these trucks is when you run out of money.[:D]

It now costs me over $200.00 to fill up the H1 Alpha. 52 gallons at $4.39/gallon

dwaxman1 -> RE: one thing I hate about having a hummer (4/16/2008 7:02:33 AM)

ouch!!!

Gas is $1.17/liter here today! I think 4 liters is a gallon, therefore 52 gallons would cost you $234 in Toronto today, OUCH!!!

My H2 cost me $110 this morning to fill, that is regular 87 Octane, if I wanted Sunco Ultra 94, that would be $1.32/liter, ouch!!!!

ya, its steep, but you probably get 15mpg, so you can make 780 miles for $228 or about $0.29/mile or about $29,000 for 100,000 miles for just fuel costs.  The truck cost $150,000 so thats a 100,000 mile fuel cost of about 19% of the vehicle price.

buy a new toyota prius for $25,000, get 45 mpg @ $3.30 and thats $0.07/mile in fuel, or $7,300 for 100,000 miles.  the 100,000 mile fuel cost is about 29% of the vehicle price. 

so it can be said that an H1 alpha, relative to vehicle price, has lower fuel costs than a toyota prius.  [:D]

no question.

and a nice point I like to make when being bombasted by my more liberal friends for my hummer fetish is that more CO2 is released from power generation than personal transportation by alot (in the US - i had the actual statistics once, but they've slipped my mind).  And it was the enviro-loons that hated nuclear power, so at the end of the day the enviro-loon crowd is responsible for more CO2 than all the SUV drivers in the country combined. 

that always gets 'em to shut up for a while

Bob, do you know what "ultrablack" rims are?  Is that paint or some kind of chrome?
