93STSpieceofcrapmoneypit Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Well, getting on the freeway tonight, this brand new H2 Hummer decided he was going to fly up the right side "merge lane" and cut me off by a nose. Normally, I could give a hoot, .... fine, pass me, who cares. But tonight I decided I was not going to get cut off. Especially when I'm in the "good lane" getting onto the freeway. Taking a left onto the on-ramp from the inside lane, I hit it right off the line in low 3. The Hummer 2, in the right lane turning left along side me, ALSO nailed it off the line. I'm at WOT and he's right there with me. Impressive. We were both nearing the point of no return where someone will have to give as the lane he was in was about to end. I clicked it into "D" and BU-BYE!! The H2 was conquered by a nice margin. I ain't no race car driver, and I usually drive like a granny, but tonight was MY night. I was in one of those "no one's gonna pass me!" moods. I have only goosed my STS once before in a similiar situation against a Mustang, and ended up pulling back for safety sake. This Hummer had more gusto than I thought. But alas, was no match for the Northstar. I am continuously astounded by our cars. No one sees the Caddy comin!! With your user name being what it is I'd have to be hard pressed. I, however, do find it entertaining. The definition of an enthusiast is "a person filled with enthusiasm" or " one who is ardently attached to a cause, object, or pursuit." Then there is my personal favorite "one who tends to become ardently absorbed in an interest." I would call the last one fanatic, bordering on unhealthy. I think I'd rather be an enthusiast as opposed to a fanatic. CADS RULE DUDES! Alright Alright Alright... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuc Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Nice kill, but what's the deal with your user name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93STSpieceofcrapmoneypit Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Ah, my STS can tend to cost and cost and cost. First an alternator, then a water pump, then a head gasket, then brakes, then A/C, then a blower motor, then case seals, then tranny solenoids, blown out suspension.......you get the picture. I do love it though!! Especially on days like this! With your user name being what it is I'd have to be hard pressed. I, however, do find it entertaining.

JohnnyG Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 What's up with these Hummer guys anyway? Just got back from a Florida trip and most of them were driving like maniacs! Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yenko Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 H2 Hummer's are very commen around here! I see at least 4-5 on average a day here on this small island of 125,000 people! They only drive like that because they are so much bigger than everyone else! I would drive it like that if I had one! IMPORT CRUSHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 What's up with these Hummer guys anyway? Just got back from a Florida trip and most of them were driving like maniacs! I believe it's so we can notice them, and all of a sudden be overcome with envy. Jason(2001 STS, White Diamond) "When you turn your car on...does it return the favor?"

JohnnyG Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 And speaking of Hummers, looks like those H2 Suburbans in "Thing's" clothing could use a few suspension mods for off-road use!

fubar0715 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I may be the odd man out but I actually like the look of the Hummer H2..If it hadnt been the fact that it was a significantly more expensive than my Tahoe, that would be my other car...People that drive like maniacs will drive like that in a Yugo, although the H2 gives them the feeling of invinceability...Sorry every has had bad experiences with drivers of them but it is still the same A-hole drivers-not the vehicles themselves!

JohnnyG Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Maybe it's just that some cars bring out the worst in people. Or, the Hummer, with it's H1 battle hardened reputation, makes people think they are invincible on the road as well as off. Or maybe it's all hype. Or marketing. I think the last one says it all, it's just sad that we all fall for it so easily. I have nothing against the H2, but my expieriences on the road with them have been less than desireable to say the least. Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed.
