After almost a year of driving around in nothing but my patrol car I finally broke down and got me a new car....




A 2007 Hummer H3 with the ' luxury' package and chrome extras. The best thing is I knew the salesguy who gave me the 'police special' = Sign and Drive at cost.:D

    Curious, why did you pick a Hummer, do you do any off-road driving?

    No. Not really.
    I just want to be able to get around when the streets flood post hurricanes (and there will be more :eek: ) and after seing a lot of accident fatalities I have discovered that usually the bigger car 'wins'..also I just love the look of it.

    Damn, I just cut an H3 off, hope it wasent you D :) Nice ride.

    I carry a Monopoly Get Out of Jail For Free card, so I am covered. Besides, noone is pulling over a brown 79' Pacer. Too ugly to worry about.

    I just had the missile launcher installed.:D

    At first I was concerned to get one because of the mileage, environment yada yada .. but when I figured that I will only put 5k to 7k miles a year on it I got over that aspect. It rides really nice. It definitely won't win any races but it's accelleration is adequate. The handling is really nice. Much better than my Trailbalazer. The fit and finish is just really nice GM fare. It also came with Onstar and a satellite phone which I guess you buy the minutes for but it comes with 30 free.

    Turns out, the Hummer is actually more eco-friendly than the Prius

    So you're doing a good thing, Darla :)
