Re: Things not to do in an H2
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.

Re: Things not to do in an H2
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.

Holy Sh*t! Did her knee fall off, mutate and turn into a world ending virus? Sheesh! At that payoff I should look for rogue trailer hitches at the mall this Christmas.

I think your insurance company might have gotten off cheap...not that I'm an ambulance chaser.
I imagine the bill included some minor surgery, therapy, and whatnot.
Or loss of pay from work and.... You know, not being able to perform....
I never thought about the liability aspect and am going out to the garage now to take my fricken ball out of my receiver.
Thanks.

Re: Things not to do in an H2
ive got the 3 as you know, but ive seen plenty of H2's go through the carwash i take my too down here in FL. However as for the parking space thing youll realize rear visibilty blows, and on the H2 im sure its worse, best advice i have for you is PARK BACKWARDS, its way easier to back in with a hummer than try to back out with a hummer, and as a plus your car looks better in the parking lot
