I have my shields already on the Hummer.

They are picking up the car today for service (500 Miles) becuase a variety of things are bad. Nice! Just Nice!

I am still waiting for the sheilds to arrive for my 6000 pound write off. Man, that Italian mail is slow!

Tracey and I just did 150 with the top down on the Spider. Nice night for a drive over the Bayside Bridge.Upload

Cayenne doesn't weigh over 6000 pounds.. no tax write off. Companies should start making ballasts that put the weight up over 6000 so you can get the write off, then remove the ballast. Hm. 6000 pound Enzo anyone? :-)

In Texas - PHU-CUE is an actual plate. I guess it slipped by becuase it does not look like the F word.

Martin - You might try it in Florida and see.

You bought a new school bus without consulting me!

I quit, I will leave the old squid bus at Bianco's house!

46.4k? That's a sweet deal. The sticker is 48k+ alone! I remember when they were just coming out at the end of last year, dealers had these things marked up to 60k and people were buying them!

(Makes you wonder how Ferrari continues to pull off the above sticker pricing!)

Byron, I know the AC will make me sick for the next weeks.
Pewter. I loved yellow but Marion knows a Realtor in the area that has two in yellow with Bee-theme.
We were also thinking about orange, which is kind of cool but has a bad resale value.

Tom,
I got the car for a song. Dealer invoice plus $ 200 minus dealer incentive of $ 2,000.
Bought a pretty much basic car with tubular step and leather. The whole thing has cost me $ 46400. Try a search in Autotrader, they all come in at above that used!

Ahhh.... A/C!!! :-)

Now why didn't you have that beast when I was in Miami?! :-)

What color? Let me guess... Pewter or Forest Green.

They seem to have really good deals on them, the intial hoopla has worn off, my wife wanted one but I have a hard time buying american cars. I normally buy German but they pissed me off so I went with the Lexus gas guzzler

Carlos,
looking at the car already (46 Miles on it) I regret already buying american.
The rear window washer does not work.
The display shows "rear access open" when it is closed.
When you flip the rear seats over it hits the seat hook in the front and leaves a nasty indentation in the leather.
The built quality is just BAD. 1/4 inch hole between the rear door plastic cover and the "inside" of the side wall. You can stick your pinky in there.

ah well it is not a Ferrari.

Marion loves it. She looks so small in the car.
I enjoy the AC. :-)

Martin

I am surprised to see you buy american. You have to be loyal to the native continent. The only american I would buy is 1961 corvette or 1963 split window coupe.

Congrats Martin! They're a lot of fun...

Buddy of mine bought one....yellow exterior (to match his yellow 360 F1). He slapped shields on the back window too....looks cool. He stopped by the other day to visit and, at first, I thought it was a yellow school bus pulling into my driveway .

BTW, he says his wife drives it more than he does!

Does it have A/C? :-)

I heard about that tax loophole last a while ago... something about vehicles over 6000lbs that are used for "work"... Nice to see someone put it to use.

Time to get a trailer now so you don't have to drive the challenge car to the track!

Due to a tax break loophole I bit the bullet and bought a gas-guzzling, environment polluting, drive over every creature HUMMER H2.

american piece of steal!

I can take a $30,000 deduction this year and the balance $ 20,000 next year. So it was a no-brainer.
