Things not to do in an H2

[Karsun]

He forgot to mention not to hit telephone poles too. Last night we had to park in BFE to go to the Play n Trade and while leaving we hear a bump. He says, "What was that?" LOL He got out to look and had hit a telephone pole. No damage whatsoever. We fought that pole and won. It's funny cause when we do something stupid like the carwash or pole I always get these looks from him like, "What are you going to do about fixing this?" Like I know! I could just picture us in that car wash having to call the police or OnStar and saying we're stuck in a car wash.

Welcome to the site !! Using a car wash with my hummer in Belgium is totally out of the question ! No carwash over here is big enough, same with parkings pots, parking garages, ...

once you figure out that it doesn't fit in to many parking spaces the same as everything else you will be fine. I leave my trailer hitch in to keep from hitting stuff backing up. it taps walls & sign posts before the bumper does.

When we travel on vacation we have two criteria....#1 does the facility have parking for the H2 #2 does the facility have high speed internet. Some of the parking garages i've been in i can reach up and touch the roof thru the sun roof. Makes me nervous for sure.

There isnt a car wash around Pittsburgh other than the ones you drive into and hose it off yourself that will fit an H2. So the automatic ones are out of the question.

Congrats on a damage free fight with the pole. You'll get used to the beast. One just has to remember where the "corners" of the beast are.

When I first bought one back in 06 i was coming back the turnpike and wasnt sure it would fit thru the toll gate, but now, its a piece of cake to drive.

Ugh, I hate parking garages. Something about the ceiling being right on my head makes me claustrophobic and oddly, I'm NOT normally claustrophobic. I loved crowds! I'll stay out of those parking garages, though. We did the valet parking in Port Tampa and it fit under that one fine.

Yeah, 99% of parking decks around here are a no-no for me.

Which makes finding a parking spot more fun tho....I always check for a place that I can drive straight out of. Over parking bumps, rocks or hills are even better! Just make sure to check for rebar first if you go over the bumps.
