I'm at the local hand-wash here in SW CT getting my convertible washed at lunch and in front of my car is a black H2 with the whole gamut of "off-road" accessories - brushguard, roofrack, etc...

Being an avid H2-hater, I give it a quiet "FU-H2" and wait for the driver to alight to their POS. Next to me is a 45+ gal who is all of 5 feet tall and then there is a guy who is probably at least 6'4" tall wearing a workout outfit. I obviously assume the latter is the driver given most SoccerMoms here in Faifield County are much younger.

Survey says: NOOOOTTT!! The diminutive woman climbs (literally!) into the H2, gabs for a couple of minutes more on her cell and then slowly moves out onto Rt. 7.

I mentioned something to the guy standing next to me and we both starting laughing hysterically as he assumes I was the H2 driver and she was the Saab driver.

You had to be there but it was SOOOOO funny :-) God, what are these people thinking when they buy these trucks???!?!?!? She must think she needs an off-road vehicle for the "urban jungle" that is the shopping scene in Westport, New Canaan and Greenwich...

Regards,

Derek
