Your Assignment

Dissecting the Hummer

$59,840 MSRP is the price of a Victory Red H2 Hummer with the limited edition package. Your assignment is to purchase whatever other car or cars you want with this total pricetag. I'm so tried of seeing these wastes of space on the road...and don't get me started on the Hummer limos....(sigh). So if you're thinking about getting one I'd like to point out that you could generally get at least two cool cars for that price tag.

Used Cars are an option, but I'm going to try and go new. Keep in mind, I don't even like cars very much and would rather have about $40,000 worth of bikes and a $10,000 car. Or feel free to tell me which of my package items you'd like. I didn't include SUVs because the whole point is pretty much to get away from the eyesore that the Hum V is.

hmm, I guess I'd settle for no. one, cause I like convertibles, too. I think Hummers are the ugliest vehicle ever!

I don't hate the cars as much as I hate how vain the people are that own them. I know some people that can actually justify (in my opinion) owning large trucks or SUVs, but seriously, to claim that it will do much more for you than gain attention I think is complete ignorance of one's true motivations.

I'm gonna go with # 1, also, because I've always wanted to own a Volkswagon. Don't ask me why, because I don't know.

I just got a 2004 Silverado Z71! for 33,000... Leather seats, air, tilt, cruise, 6 CD disc changer, Bose sound system, OnStar, XM Radio, 17 inch rims, bedliner... oh geez.. y'all prob'ly don't care to hear about that...

since I only spent 33,000, can I keep the rest?
