Hmmm....is the H2 just a dressed-up Tahoe??

Well...that reminds me of when I was in college and there was this soda machine out in the hallway. I used to head down the hallway to get a drink every now and then but was afraid the other students studying would notice and be so distracted that they'd complain to the manager. As a means of distraction I'd throw an onion down the hallways just before I'd walk...that way they'd look for the noise and then realize it was nothing...then proceed unnoticed. I used a technique of taking tube-steps instead of regular walking steps:

Long live tube steps! They saved your door and front side, imagine if the red tin can smash straight into your Hummer, big damages for sure. Tube steps can prevent most door and shopping cart dings too, I tested that a few times, really work.

Course back in those days I used to think of cars a lot, I even made list: The list of cars is usually longer than the message. I've seen it for months but I'm just too polite to say anything about it, I think they are generally younger ones who just started with toys within last few years. At least we don't have those with lots of photos of cars as signature. Most Hummer owners here have or had far more expensive and exotic cars but chose not to show them. Z06, peace, love to have you here, with or without your list of past and current cars.

Soon after I got the Hummer, one of my many sisters-in-law wanted to borrow the Hummer to drive around her office parking lot and take her staff to lunch, I said "Sure, anytime." "No, you don't mean that?" "Why not? help yourself. Just leave your SL here." I never mind other people driving my vehicles. She never did drive the Hummer, I think Hummer is a bit scary for a lot of people to drive.

At a reunion in Sacramento a few weeks ago, one of the wives borrowed my Hummer for a drive and took off with my wife. Boy, is that woman a super aggressive driver! took off in the Hummer like a rocket. Had me worried for 5-10 minutes standing at the hotel lobby.

Dan and Hummer Man bought tears to my eyes, ahhhh, those good old days, when men were men and women were women. I heard they are making the new Stafford Wives movie. I had a Japanese girl friend 20 years ago, she was actually like that, absolutely honest truth! She was insulted when I got myself a drink or took off my own shoes. True story. I never got used to that, always thought the ERA or NOW are just hiding behind the curtain ready to jump out to catch me, put me away and throw away the key.

Um....what was the question again? Opps...gotta run, I seemed to have soiled myself....somebody tell the butler to alert the maid so that the gardener can be called to tell the grounds-keeper to move his car so the valet can pull up.
