found my Hummer... dual sun roofs and wood dash kit??

[bklynh2srock]

Yeah, Amy, I keep going outside to look at it and admire it in all its awesome glory. We drove it home from the dealer in Detroit, in constant snow, and I was cheerfully clipping along singing "Let it Snow" the whole way. Puts our Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ Quadra Drive to absolute shame. I actually looked at my husband and said, "We will never be able to own another make of car again."

I'm soooo looking forward to the true commencement of ski season!

My overall advice is to get the things you feel in your gut, like the adventure package, but those that are questionable, like maybe the wood dashboard or wheels, hold off. That stuff you can do later as you get to know the vehicle and the options. Plus you'll get better pricing by doing it outside the dealership. Except maybe the 2nd sun roof. This is the first time I've heard of that.

I have to say I love the guy/girl stuff and find it intriguing. I also think it's awesome that there many female Hummer owners. Although I don't get that Wes guy.

Problems with convertibles (and sunroofs for that matter) here in Aruba and maybe in Hawaii as well (you tell me Shea) is:
It's only nice to drive with open top or roof early morning, late afternoon or at night. During the day you get cooked here and forget abouit that tan, think 2nd degree burns. And when it starts to rain, the card's flooded before you reach the buttons to close the roof(s).
All right, okay, so there remains a few hours per day/night to drive around with open roof here. But still I prefer the AC, recirculating or not.

I thought people from Hawaii are pretty easy going and peaceful type, especially from the big island of Hawaii. Love that island, but the 2 hours chartered flight around the island was way too long, and there was no lava at the vocano, tour guide lied to us. Your replies could be considered quite rude and mean spirited, if one wants to look at them that way. BTW, Sheag, are you a lawyer too? Time to play nice. Nobody win with anger, you need to leave the mainland, nobody gets angry in Hawaii. 3 deep breath, Sheag.

Let's all join hands and dance on the beach and sing cumbaya. Let's get that bicylist environmentalist(long word) to join us too. Love in. Too bad it is not the swinging '60-'70s anymore.

Take the extra $$ buy a lifted jetski trailer and drag your new skis to that secluded perfect beach. Grab your boards fire up the skis and hit the outer reef. Live it up.

oh yeah...the wood dash. When done conservatively is does look very nice....but I've seen H2's that are covered in that wood-veneer ALL over the place: just too over-done! It's almost like the more the install...the more money they make??

[sheag]

Thanks guys. I didn't think Wes' post was sexist, just rude. I don't mind anyone offering their opinions, including telling me I shouldn't waste my money. That's why I asked.

So the wood dash kit doesn't look good and can cause problems, that's exactly the kind of information I was looking for. No one mentioned the dual sun roofs except to say it's too much money. Again, I live in a hot, sunny climate. I will be travelling a lot with my niece and nephew and that second sun roof back there will get used daily. The extra $1500 or so is worth it to me. I was just concerned about other peoples' dealer experiences with an installed sunroof back there.

With regard to the tires, I need to get some more information and if anyone here has any, feel free to share. I'm doing some research online now and will talk to the dealer, my goal is not only to improve my offroad experience, but also improve the custom look of the vehicle, I like to be unique.

And again, I don't *want* the luxury pkg, it just is there, and if I order a custom, I'll have to wait two months, fly back over or arrange for someone else to take delivery and ship it and so on. For me, it's worth the extra money to go ahead and take one on the lot since it's perfect and has everything else I want, including color.

Thanks again, I appreciates everyone's responses (except Wes', but it was cool to have all the Hummer chicks on the forum jump right in. :-)

I agree that it's time to sing and all be nice...but Shea has been that all along.

Let's just let it go and move on.

Btw, I LOVE the fact that women are into the H2! When I play racquetball at the courts...it's an extra thrill to get beaten by a women. I think people are just way too into classifying people...we're all just individuals.

Yep this poor rig won't see snow until we go home for xmas...but where we live we get some nice rain showers in the spring and summer months. Our terrain is extremely flat and the roads flood so quickly as they cannot drain. So hydroplaning is common, but I have found this hummer does not move an inch in the rain. I have done some nice 360s in my beamers going a modest 45mph with the slick roads from oil and water residue from such large trucks and tractors from the farmers. Thank goodness no one was on the road at the time.

I do feel safe in this rig and I too could never own anything less.
