"..well here's what we think of all you rover owners. Just a bunch of well to do smart business people out to have a fun time in a good truck.."
Thanks, I've never been called a well to do smart business person before, especially not on a first date.
In reality, it's generally the opposite. Half of the Rover owners I know couldn't afford an H2. We buy older Land Rovers at rock-bottom prices (because of their reliability issues) and commit to fixing them, often on a weekly basis in order to "have a fun time in a good truck.."
It's a hobby and a passion, I'm not sure if you guys understand that.
"Some people just can't handle the truth!!!"
What's the truth here? The one H2 owner I met and wheeled with in the past was very courteous and respectful when joining one of our trips. I was impressed with the H2 and his ability - all class. So, I was quite excited to be wheeling with another H2 this last weekend. I had no doubt in the H2s ability, contrary to this owner's belief that we were all so amazed that he 'made it'. I would have been disappointed if he hadn't made the climb. The disappointment came when he opened his mouth and heckled the crowd like some white trash teenage jeepster.
The truth is, my 9 year old daughter could have dragged that fat ass (the H2s, not Steve's) up the hill, scrapping and banging on any piece of dirt bigger than a mole hill, and she can't see over the dash. Don't kid yourself Steve, it was 100% vehicle, 0% skill - all class, NOT!
Not content with just 'making it', Steve had to delay the departure of the group of 30 trucks (of which he was a guest) further by continuing the arrogant ego-fest even after our trip leader had called for us to get ready to roll. So up he went again and down again like a deranged yo-yo, oh wait, he's going up back-wards - cool.
It's not very often that we see H2s out on the trail or have the opportunity to invite one to join us. This isn't the sort of behavior we expect to see.
I guess my take on the events are not quite as dramatic as the original post, oh well. It was still a fun day in the dirt.
Steve
