Uhhhh I am living that picture:



Those are both of my boxes: One hulk of $65,000 (paid in cash) fuc*ing rust and the other is my awesome car which I use now almost exclusively. The other just sits in my driveway hoping it was built better and didn't rust so ____ing badly after only 3 years.
- sh00k

ps - the only thing that the hummer is good for is getting girls - and i am not exaggerating. I have gotten so many girls to pay attention to that car, and i've gotten a lot of BENEFITS as a result

Worth the $65,000? no because the build quality is horrible and it's rusting more than it should. i bought it brand fuc*ing new in 2004, with 4 miles on the odo. It is now up to about 17k miles - i dont drive it in the snow, when it rains, i dont even drive it after the snow has melted and there is still salt on the fuc*ing streets. yet, still, with all that f*cking babying, it still manages to rust on me.

I am doing well for my age but ever since I've bought the hummer, I am living by two principles:

1) Never buy an american car again in my whole life
2) I'm never spending more than 20-30k on a car ever again.

and if anyone thinks im biased AGAINST american cars, let me give you a list of my previous cars: 1986 monte carlo super sport, 1984 buick grand national, 1999 dodge durango, 2003 chevy avalanche - i think that's all of 'em.

I can sell my hummer now for like 30-38k but i am not going to part with it. It still brings me more girls than the xB ever could.

Both have their plusses and minuses. This has been a truly honest and unbiased review/write up. pleas feel free to PM me if you have any comments or questions - i will be more than happy to elaborate/provide you with more details.

ps - i have seen the post on here about door parts on the xB rusting - this didnt make me sad or upset since I ONLY SPENT $17K CASH ON THE BOX - COMPARED TO THE $65K+ I SPENT ON THE HUMMER .

You don't need a nice car to get girls - but you can't say that it doesn't help you either! I've had so many girls flag me down as I'm driving by in the Hummer askin' for a ride, and then getting their numbers. They see a young guy in a hot car and they flock to you. This has been my experience ;]

Don't twist my words to fulfil your needs - that's not nice. Not once in my original post did I say that the hummer is the ONLY WAY that I get girls - so I suggest you guys stop fakkin' around.
