So Joe calls me last night all proud of his latest purchase...an H2
Personally I hate the fuggin things, but I can't say anything.
He's gonna want to take this thing shuttling too, I don't want to chip in on gas on this behemouth when my Tacoma pulls 24mpg:dead:

So, how do you diplomatically tell your buddy he's made the stupidest purchase possible with gas above $3/gallon?:rofl:

By "buddy", do you mean "penis"? Is it actually you that bought it? ;)

He's still on the post consumer high, I didn't want to be a dick right away. I was thinking he'll come to that conclusion himself by summer when gas jumps another .25/gal:dead:

Is your Tacoma a 4 cylinder? I wish I got 24 mpg with my 6 cylinder Tacoma. The best I've ever gotten was 20.5 mpg.

And as far as your friend goes...just point and laugh. He'll eventually get the picture.

I'm sure your thought process would be DIFFERENT if you DIDN'T like Hummers.:devil:

I say be straight up with him – my Manager bought an H2 when they first came out. She’s like “GUESS WHAT I BOUGHT??” I’m like “dunno?”

“An H2!!” She was all excited – then I say “that’s a dumb purchase since you DO NOT NEED a Hummer!” Heck she had a Chevy Avalanche that never saw dirt…what the hell..

Well........if he bought the car the first thing I'd think was he can afford gas for it. If he whines and crys about $65 to fill his tank then you have every right to give him your opinion.

But I drive a gas gluzzing truck. Yeah so I get like 13-14 in the city. Yeah it costs $60 to fill it (thank god for 87 octane) but he'll pay more putting in 89.

But on the pitching for gas thing. If you are riding with your buddies and it's clear it's like "you get this one I'll get the next" there's no need to pitch for gas. But if you are constantly free-loading then I'd offer to pitch. Like $5 at the most. Last I checked the shuttle ride up Gibralter isn't no 14 miles up and down. Even with gas at $3/gallon and say he gets 15mpg $5 is still over his cost. You could get crazy and tell him you'll give him $.44 cents a mile :)

I'd be scared to use a H2 as a shuttle truck. Especially a new one

I've sat in a WRX and a Hummer H2 in the same day. They both had just about as much usable room inside.

The WRX would be more off road cabable though.

When your budy gets the H2 stuck in a pothole give me a shout and I'll winch him out. Wait no I wont those "recovery points" they come with will snap off and could hurt someone. He shoulda bought an H3 and uses the leftover money to buy a used taco to shuttle with.
