I guy I met on the trail a couple of months back said, "If you are not living indebt then you aren't living." It is tough given the market in my area but are company is having a record year. One of our manufacturers yearly sales was down but we were up and selling most of their products.

Can't wait until that year end kick back.

Mac,
I worked for a family that owns a couple of houses(one directly across from the monstrosity) on Ralston.
Have you ever seen The Castle? It was on the market 5-6 years ago for about $30M. How about the other huge house about 1/4 mile up the hill that's going through a complete restoration. It's one of the original homes that used to site on (if I remember correctly) 1000 acres. The gates down at the bottom of Ralston were its driveway entrance.

I have to agree with Alec on this one. I also have pewter, which does very well with scratches and dirt. One pic I took after running white mountain, made my h2 look spotless even though it was completely coated in dirt and dust. All of my scratches have completely buffed out too with no sweat. I have only seen 1 black H2 on the trail and it didn't look too good at the end. I guess white would do well too.

I'm almost always dirty, and I don't mean soiled.

For me personally, I'm currently downsizing as much as possible. I unloaded my Honda Accord (opted to keep the Disco because it wouldn't sell). I've put the full stop on all unnecessary expenses (dining out, modifying my Disco, etc.) Our family income hasn't changed really, but I just don't feel good about taking on any debt at this time.

I was seriously looking at selling both vehicles and picking up the H2 (but I couldn't sell the Disco), and even when I was serious about it, it seemed like this just wasn't the right time to take on a new loan (plus the H2 was brand new and I was a bit nervous!)

I guess the spirit of my original post is that people are willing to take on new debt for the H2 - despite the economy - most likely because IMO, the H2 is the perfect opportunity for the little guy to pick up a great vehicle at an affordable price. When you compare SUV's, there's no arguing that the H2 isn't priced competitively (for what it's capable of)

Then again, I don't think there are that many H2 owners going offroad overall.

Drtyfn, you know my neighborhood well, these are homes I pass daily, some around the corners, those are my roads. The rich will always be rich, but in America the poor can become rich, most of the richest Americans are self-made men and women. You and I and everyone else has the same opportunities.

Spidey, for few years I have been working 2, 3 or 4 hours day only, taking it easy. On 9/11, I said this is war and this is bad and going to be worse, so I went into battle station(business-wise). It went from bad to worse, but we have done well and the hard work 1-2 years ago pay off this year, it takes 9-12 months to see result, takes time to turn the big ship around. Before it went really bad, we cut, cut and cut, push, push and push; we are doing exceptionally well now, but I keep on cut cut cut and push push and push. I have 100 salespeople, they all tell me the business is bad, I expected that. I called my NYC sales manager last week to congratulated him on his record month and tell him about his record bonus and commission coming soon, as expected he went on and on to tell me how bad the business is in New York city and they never recovered from 9/11. That is how it works in my world, when the going get tough, the tough gets going.

I wish I had your Hummer payments.

Dan from Alabama<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Nah, don't kid yourself. I've been making payments into my bank account for when the day comes. I'm making payments early

I wish I had your Hummer! No wait, I'll keep waiting for the SUT since I did this long.

The wait is killing me though. I was over at the dealer lot today "visiting" the Hummers...

I personally don't think one needs to be "rich" to own an H2. $50K allocated over 10 years isn't much money, picticularly if it's your passion. Rich is also a subjective term.

When I'm finally done with the Ralston house you are all welcome to come over.
