I too wanted a Hummer after I saw them in action in Desert Storm .... I priced the first civilian Hummers ... at that time they were $250,000.00 ( not in my budget !!! ) and that is what Arnold paid for his first one; subsequently AM General has given him 8 Hummers ... Then I test drove a Hummer way before the H2, now called an H1, and it was too wide for our driveway ... so I did not get one. The H2 came out, I saw the dimensions, and yes, it does fit down our driveway, so I purchased mine months before they were released, in March, 2002 ... mine is number 146 and I enjoy it and have had great fun with it ... my daily driver is a 2003 Mercedes SL500, and we just ordered a 2004 Mercedes E500 Wagon for my wife .... in the past I have had many different Mercedes Benz's, several different Ferrari's, Volvo's, Pontiac GTO's back in the 70's, an Opel, and a Singer. I used to collect Cadillac’s – had a 1965 Fleetwood Brougham, 1959 Cad Eldorado Conv., 1985 Eldorado Conv, 1959 DeVille Conv., and a 1953 Eldorado Conv. Had to sell them all to expand our business. All in all, I love cars and I have had a “blast” with all of them ….. and now my H2, it is “fantastic” !
