one thing I hate about having a hummer
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.
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.

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!!!!

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

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.
