thanks Doc.... I call the new one Leaky because it's been to FORD twice for an oil leak.... fixed finally after 2 new oil sending units and a new oil cooler..... but the main reason is that the AC blows so cold on it that it leaves a HUGE puddle under it..... The AC is by far the best I have ever had on any vehicle.... 42 degrees output on normal AC at 75 highway.... 60 degrees output after idling 6 hourson a 90 degree day....

I look at it this way, If it's WHAT YOU LIKE (low pro, 6" lift, etc.) and you can afford to do it....
MORE POWER TO YOU!!!!

I don't think an AC system from a First On Race Day would fit in Dear Old Dad's Garage Experiment....

I'm not much for shiny things either, I use to be when I was younger, but not so much now, although I did get the steel front bumper letters. If they came in white, that's what I would have purchased.
As far as the awesomeness of the 4x4, I have no plans to take my H3 off road, that's why I didn't get the adventure package, even though I wanted it, I couldn't justify the extra money.
I bought my H3 because I love the way it looks. It looks different (better) than any other SUV's in it's class. Also, just because it's a 4x4 doesn't mean it's going to waste if you don't off road. I live in Cleveland and our winters SUCK. I've driven rear wheel drive and front wheel drive cars, but they were nowhere near as good in snow as my last vehicle, a Blazer. Last year we had a snow storm drop 2 feet of snow on us during the evening rush hour. It was coming down so fast the wipers couldn't keep up. I had to pull off the side of the highway in the grass, in no less than 2 feet of snow to get the ice off of the wipers. Had I been in a car, I wouldn't have made it out of that mess, but the Blazer drove right out, it didn't even slide. As long as I live in Cleveland I will drive a 4x4 SUV.

I happen to be in the same camp as HummBob (and usually don't say much because I know its the extreme minority) and enjoy the looks of the Hummer vehicles over the fantastic offroad capabilities. However, those capabilities do lend a nice hand in the wintertime here in Minnesota (maybe not as harsh as Manitoba, but winters are still rough!)
