I got a dual-bias thing going on here. I have owned and loved every one of my Porsche coupes (with the original body), but after they changed the body to look like a Ford Probe and introduced the Boxter which came with a million or so 23 year old yuppie.com drivers that thought they owned a real Porsche, I bailed on the company.
I was at Pismo Beach (a huge SVRA beach sand dune park in CA for the out-of-towners), and a Cayenne owner drove out on the beach looking to rent some ATVs. A Lexus GX was right next to it (with his air bags all raked up in the rear as in fear of getting a little sand on it). I am sorry but the drivers of both vehicles looked like they just stepped out of a summer dinner part in Newport Beach. Jewelry, preppy hair doos, loafers no socks...you get the picture...all this to drive around in the sand?
My point? A Hummer is truly like nothing else and I now realize I chose the right vehicle for me.
They can keep on thinking their Range Rovers, Disos, Cayennes, and GXs are rough and tough American off-road vehicles all day long. They're all great vehicles, don't get me wrong, but each have their own type of following and none represents me better than Hummer.
